I Want To Wish All Of The DFW Media Luck

[Everlastingxxx]

He's not talking. There will be no scraps. meanwhile we, the fans, suffer from the silence and it's not of our making.

Yea, it is weird to not hear from Tony week after week. I always enjoyed hearing what he had to say. But couldn’t he still talk to the media and just not answer the questions he doesn’t want to answer? Maybe the nice guy in him makes it hard for him to do that, i dunno.

But you know what, it's not just Tony. How many players really are talking? Hurd, Witten, Crayton, Ellis, Bigg, maybe? But that's about it. And then they're not saying much when they do talk.

They can't avoid the media forever, but I think the players have gotten pretty fed up by the nonsense.

Beautifully put.

I love the fact that it's the Cowboys vs. The World, including the media.

I think he wants them to stop. Until they get the message he'll probably not have much to say. Other than media day at the Super Bowl if we get there and I have a feeling if the questions go that way he's going to be surly.

Exactly.

If it's not about Romo, it's about T.O.'s ankle. The trendy pick has suddenly become to pick against the fully rested 13-3 team who swept this particular opponent during the regular season.

One thing is for sure, Hos. A victory this Sunday shuts them up. OK, maybe it doesn't, but it'd sure make me feel better.

I wonder which Soap Operas are the favorites of the DFW media? With luck, we'll soon know because the articles they're writing now as auditions will surely lead to their hirings and they'll finally get to talk about stuff they know about.

For football news about the Dallas Cowboys, stick to this forum and the Daily Zone. We'll find it somewhere and bring it to you. It's just harder to find these days than it used to be because the DFW media are no longer a source of this news.

Seriously!? The the whole "Tony does Mexico" hullabaloo is hardly a phenomena invented by, our exclusively over-blown by the DFW media. Far from it!

To think otherwise is incredibly naive and short-sided.

The difference is, I don't give a flying crap about the national media attention. It's the local yokels trying to be paparazzi themselves that I object to. I don't care if they invented it. Are they exempt from it? Not from where I sit. They're knee deep in it and shoveling.

Yet, the 2nd most viewed and commented on thread on the 1st page is regarding Jess Simpson and her plans for this weekend. Cut and pasted by forum staff, and not originating at DMN.com.

How ironic!

If you want to do something fun, go to the front page of the Fan Zone and find that thread. It's near the bottom of the page. Towards the right hand side you see a link for "Replies" and you can click on this link.

When you do this it will give you a list of everyone who has posted in that thread.

Do you see my name in the list of replies?

When you come to the inevitable conclusion that you do not, I have an experiment for you to try. Fill a bucket with water and stick your hand in the bucket. Pull your hand out and look back at the water. The hole you see left in the water is how much I care about that thread or any of the others that caused me to post a gripe thread.

Not only have I not responded in that thread, I have not read a single reply in it. I flat out do NOT care if she is at the game or not and never have. I don't think it has one thing to do with how Tony Romo plays and never have.

I don't care if the material gets posted on the site or not. I can exercise my right not to read it and I do. As I said earlier, I do not care if the national media wants to wallow in this. I don't care if posters want to. That's their business. The point of this thread is, and always has been, that we have a meaningful playoff game for the first time in forever and the DFW sportswriters are tripping over themselves to get right in the middle of a non-sports story. I should applaud them instead?

Not going to happen.

 

[Rogerthat12]

That is the truth, preach it brother!!

 

[Dave_in-NC]

And some used to complain Parcells wouldn't give the Dallas media the time of day. Who could blame him?

Nice job Hos

 

[scottsp]

To be honest, alot of major newspapers in others cities do the same thing.

Aye. They do.

This most recent episode with Tony has been covered and covered and covered, but at the end of the day, this is much ado about nothing. The stuff sells. Tony's thoughts on the media coverage really isn't that high on Belo's list.

This isn't all that bad, IMO. Cowboy coverage from the mid-1990s make this look like Page Six in the Scranton Gazette, or whatever the rag is there.

Agreed

The auditions for People Magazine, Us Magazine, TMZ, E!, and The National Enquirer must be fierce. I hope they all get their wishes to write about Soap Operas and get hired away soon so that DMN and FWST can wish them goodbye and we can get some sportswriters to write about sports in the sports pages....

For the most part, all the DFW media is pretty crappy. However, I do like Breer and Spags quite a bit.

Have the stupid fools even realized that the reason Tony Romo is not talking to them is because they have abandoned the purpose of their entire employment? Meanwhile, we the fans who want to hear from Tony, are paying for their stupidity.

I know that many of you will join me in wishing them luck. It will be nice for those of you wrapped up in the paparazzi that you will have familiar voices and faces for the gossip columns. Nothing like comfortable shoes is there?

If you want Dallas Cowboys news these days you're not likely to find it at the two major news sources in the DFW area. They're too worried that Tony Romo lost his virginity and will have no legs because he violated one of Bill Parcells commandments for QBs.

Speaking of Bill Parcells, where the hell is the DFW media as it pertains to him (and Jeff Ireland ) hiring a QB Coach before naming a Head Coach? Last January and February that was all the rage in every article, with speculation that the Head Coach was merely a Jerry Puppet and he was back to his meddling ways. No equal treatment? Why am I not surprised?

I wonder if it hurts? You know, them talking out of both sides of their mouths that way? It has to hurt. Probably not as bad as the window in their stomachs though. You know the window, the one they have to open so they can see where they are going because their heads are so far up their...

Strange but true fact. The Dallas Cowboys have never played on eight days in the month of January. One of those eight days gets erased forever this Sunday when we meet the Giants in a Divisional Playoff game. If they advance to the NFC Championship they will reduce the number to six days in January that they have never played a game on that date.

Spags is probably the worst of them all.

Umm, yea.

The point of this is apparently lost on me. 'Cus you reading and/or replying to that thread has about as much relevance as you equating the Romo/Simpson media firestorm to one outlet et al.
