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.
