What?? Little Big Horn didn't happen???:confused:

No it happened. There was no grand rally, as in all the paintings you see, as his command was divided up and attacked in pieces. But the final attack was actually against Custer and his officers along with 40-50 or so troopers, so in fact he did have a last stand, just not the magnificently painted 300 trooper last stand that is (or at least was) in all the history books.

My old man was a history buff and he used to say Custer divided his troops and that is why he lost...

from what I saw on cbs11 tonight, the players were right there saying it to dennis's face. Scandrick looked like he was getting into it with him from about 4 feet away.

SO I think that initial report depicting the players down the hall and in another room yelling at dennis were made to make the players look bad.

All to defend a guy who gets paid to insult the cowboys players on a daily basis.

yeah the myths of history are funny, like the one where Davy Crockett was the last man standing in the Alamo clubbing Mexicans with his gun when one story has him hiding in women's clothing

Custer was a very unpleasant individual.

You realize the rally was a myth and never happened; they have a book and even the History Channel has a show based on the Archaeological findings they where confused, lost and destroyed kind of like the Cowboys but Wade does kind of come off like Colonel Custard

is he any relation to Colonel Mustard from the board game Clue?

The former account (clubbing Mexicans with guns) has no historical basis, and I've never before heard your account. What is your source material?

yeah but in the movie, he had Olivia de Havilland loving him so he mustn't have been all bad.

I'm baffled by movies that glorify General Custer.

Talk about stupid... last year we thought it was a media distraction but it turned out to be a divided locker room. That sunk us more than anything.

This year, the locker room is uniting AGAINST a media distraction. The media distraction that is "the December curse."

You clearly believe in curses, but I refuse to because I believe in logic. Past years have no bearing on this team. This core of players has had two years with Romo leading the charge, one playoff loss. Compare that to Eli or Peyton or Elway or, heck, any of the great QBs. That is a very small sample size, and one that can and will change.

Plus, you totally contradict yourself. You say Steve Dennis has no effect on the game since he is a reporter and not an opposing player. BUT you started the post by claiming the media distraction proves we are unravelling again and will lose. Which is it? I guess the media matters when it could be bad but doesn't when it could be good. That's the conclusions you get when everything is framed by a pessimist.

I am now officially sick of your media-apologism now, too. I remember your show after the Roy "controversy" earlier in the year where you predicted doom and gloom and blamed Roy for creating a controversy, while exonerating the media from any blame. Anyone who listened to that interview could tell Roy was not throwing anyone under the bus, but you justified the bad framing of the media and totally said they were right. Guess what? You and them were dead wrong. Roy has only gotten better recently and the team continued to win despite the "distractions."

Just b/c you want to be a sports journalist doesn't mean you have to have your head way up their butts. Or that you have to repeat their same shoddy and shameful practices of stirring up the muck.

Bravo good sir, bravo. Yet another one of us in the minority who are idiot homers for not agreeing with the uber-holy DCF.

Dennis has been an sshole all year long. He is always looking to create controversy ands asks loaded leading questions. He comes across like an arrogant SOB. I was really waiting for one of the players to go off on him.

No wonder DCF defends him. Birds of a feather.

Very true. They need to beat the Chargers. But I do like that they're backing one another up and that to me points to a good sign that I don't know that this team has seen in a while.

First Werder, and now Dennis. :)

And the rest would beat the crap out of each other.

Yep......How quickly everyone forgets the monumental battles in the PZ. Not convinced everyone here would hold hands and sing songs in blissful harmony.

NY is much rougher on the coaches, players, GMs and owners.

Wade wouldn't last a day.

Really.

NEVER have players (anywhere else that i recall in a major market) acted like this (year after year).

This is disgraceful player behavior.

Total denial...like cupcake. Blame the media, everyone and anyone but yourself.

that is untrue.

no one gets more media scrutiny and vitriol than the dallas cowboys. when the local media aren't the story the national media is.

many of new york's teams have sucked for years without any media burn. the yankees are the ONLY team that gets Cowboys like coverage.

You are right jterrell most of the New York media would be labeled "Cheer leading homers" around here and mocked.
