Is Ed Werder really a "Cowboys Controversy Specialist"

[bbgun]

Perhaps? Lol... I just can't recall seeing him much this year. Would you agree that he seems to revel in Cowboys controversy?

No, I don't. What you're doing is called "projection." Besides, I thought this was about Macmahon. How did Ed get ensnared in the hate machine?

 

[Quarterback Coach]

He's looking to get his manhood back from CowboyChris.

What did I do now?

In previous years during pregame warmups, werder would talk to both garretts, brian stewart, skip peete, ray sherman...nearly all the staff.

he used to always talk to witten and crayton and joke around it looked like with a few other guys here and there.

I have not seen one player or coach talk to him during pregame this year. They literally stand with their back to him in the endzone. Even Jerry blew him off before the atlanta game.

He just kind of wanders around talking to other media guys.

He really blew some of his credibility with the organization last year, or at least it appears that way.

This is a good thing. I can tell anytime Crayton, Bradie, Brookings, et al speak they flat out don't trust the media.

I am of the opinion that whatever made up controversy that is generated will only make this team stronger. When a team close ranks; it can be a tremendous source of strength. Wade might be finally getting lucky.

Filthy is in trouble Sunday night, they are dead and they don't even know it.

Seriously.. has ESPN and ED carved out a special role for this guy? Everytime I see him, I know it's something bad. He didn't mess with us all year until now.. a little "controversy" and poof.... he magically appears.

Why doesn't he do any positive/nuetral Boys stories?

I really hate this guy with a passion. What is his agenda?

So now Ed Werder has never done a story/interview about the Cowboys that had a positive slant?

:laugh2:

lol. Linda Cohn admitted last year just like mike wilbon she hates the cowboys and particularly romo.

Which is interesting, because a certain sports blog last month was outing espn employees for their extra-curricular activities......Turns out Linda Cohn participates in an activity with co-workers she likes, often.

Pay no attention to her.

I'll by Twister for $500.00, theebs.......................

The yankees are hated just as much as us, if not more, but they do not get nearley the amount of bad pub. that we get. All I hear on the radio or TV is how great the yankees are and what a great job the manager and GM did for them and this is the making of a dynasty. I tell you, alot of it has to do with east coast bias. Alot of these people that work at espn grew up as yankee lovers and Cowboy haters. They can all kiss my:moon: !

There's definitely Yankees haters out there, particularly on BSPN. Thankfully some of those guys can remain objective.

I think it really starts with the local media. The BSPN guys rely a lot on them for info and BSPN will often reward them with face time on some crappy sports writers show or some time on talk radio.

When the local media shuts a BS story out from ESPN, they have a hard time getting the story to grow some legs. But that's not the case with Dallas' local media, outside of Todd Archer it seems.

Great example was Shefter reporting a 'schism' in the Vikings locker room once Favre came in. The local Minnesota media scoffed at the report and took Shefter to task over the BS report and you really never heard much about the 'schism' again. Dallas' local media would just add lighter fluid to the fire.

If ESPN tried to run a really questionable story about the Yankees, you can rest assured that the local NY media would terrorize that ESPN reporter. And that's why they think twice about running some story from a 'source' and at least try to verify the accuracy.

That being said, Jerry deserves some of the blame here. I was told by a member of the Dallas media once that Jerry just doesn't talk to his apologists too much, but will always give his critics more than enough time and that's a well known secret among the Dallas media. So it's no wonder why so much of the Dallas media goes out of their way to criticize the team.

So Jerry has some fault here, but doesn't mean that the media is right for doing it.

Don't blame Roy. He may have said some stuff better kept under his hat.



Ed Werder is the rat-fink.




He reminds me of Mrs. Kravitz(sp?) from Bewitched.

"Cowboys Controversy Specialist." Yes, and I can think of several other names as well.
