To not disclose injuries to players that have effected their play over the past year?

I understand the idea of not disclosing weaknesses of players during the season.

I understand the idea of not giving excuses.

But... we are the customers of the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys

Do we deserve to have a solid knowledge base when judging our team?

Should it be like pulling teeth to find out that Newman was playing all last year with a knee injury..

That Henson had a sprained thumb all through TC....

That Pettiti was playing with multiple injuries ...(for petes sake we had to get that from his Dad. If his dad is not on this board we just think he flat out sucks)

Again, is that fair to the fan base..

Again... we are the customers!!!

This is an old, old practice. If you report injuries the other team knows what to exploit. If you don't they don't game plan that way.

Parcells isn't the 1st, nor will he be the last to do this. Coaches don't talk injuries unless the guy went down on camera.

Is it fair to the fans? Running a pro football team is not a democracy here. Parcells isn't gonna run this organization using public opinion polls. Keep the doors at Valley Ranch LOCKED.

Fair? When did fans have the right to know that in the first place?

And not to be a grammar teacher or nuthin' but affect is the verb and effect is the noun.
