All you guys are right.
This team has had so much sucess with media distractions in the past.
All of this BS started last season with Ed Werder and you all jumped up and down to go after him.
Then when the team collapsed and didn't make the playoffs you were mad that the team spent so much time worrying about the media.
The mental toughness this team has shown and the coach has shown over the last few seasons clearly shows they fight multiple battles at once.
Same idiot homer fans. Same Cowboyszone. Same Dallas Cowboys. Same coach who wants to absolve players of blame.
And if anyone thinks this team needs motivation by a fight with Steve Dennis to beat the Chargers then I feel sad for you.
He's a reporter. He's not wearing a helmet. He doesn't wear any shoulder pads. He's not going to be throwing TD passes on Sunday. He's not going to be coming after Tony Romo on Sunday.
How some of you think it's a great thing that this team wants to fight all week with the media so they can be motivated to beat the Chargers shows how silly some of you are with the BS.
We just spent 12 games being focused on football.
Now it's crunch time and you guys are happy the team is now focused on the media and football.
How stupid does that sound?
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.
