JJT: Terance Newman broke locker room code

[sacase]

IMO, Newman should be fined for his comments to the press. Players on this team just need to SHUT UP. TNEW, maybe Romo should comment on your fragile state of injuries???

JUST SHUT UP AND PLAY. Fines for every player that says something or does something STUPID to hurt this "team"; period!!

Can we start with Romo and his 21 turnovers?

 

[NeonNinja]

I don't see the big deal in this, and a few of you have some serious agendas going on here.

 

[SultanOfSix]

As I said in another thread:

This is just further proof that the members of the media are self-serving trouble makers.

TO was not a problem, and neither is Newman.

Stop giving the media more power than they deserve, which is none.

 

[Beast_from_East]

You are missing the point.

Posters are pissed because TNEW publicly questioned if another player's girlfriend affected his performance on the field.

That would be like your coworkers questioning if your wife was affecting your job performance. How would that sit with you???

JJT= worst team reporter in the league

Nah. Watkins is worse.

 

[Clove]

No disrespect to JJT, but what does this baby-armed nerd know about locker room code, he never sniffed a locker room until he became a reporter? All of a sudden, he's a locker room genius?

 

[BHendri5]

I think he was in essence defending Tony and it was cut and snipped.

Yep, but we should be use to that, they did it to T.O. all the while he was here.

 

[fanfromvirginia]

I think he was in essence defending Tony and it was cut and snipped.

I think he was too but I'm not sure because he didn't come right out and say that, maybe because he's not a very eloquent speaker so he should generally **** in public.

But he was not clear.

I'm sure he'll walk this back over the next couple of days by saying what so many people around here have been assuming he was implying.

This is poor journalism. Isn't this old news?

Terence Newman was asked a question about Tony Romo's leadership and Troy Aikman's remarks were brought up in the question. Aikman was critical of Romo for not taking into account the importance of perception when it comes to being the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. (Ex. Taking trips to Cabo with your famous girlfriend.) Bill Parcells warned Romo about being a "celebrity quarterback". That stuff can be used against you, and if your teammates buy into it, you are in trouble.

Newman agreed with Aikman and said that kind of stuff can affect your ability to "quarterback". Newman didn't use the word "lead", but he was clearly talking about the leadership aspect of being a quarterback. Just read the question. Newman talks about "that stuf" being used against Tony Romo in the media. He's not attacking Tony Romo. He's just telling it like it is. Aikman knows the score and how important perception can be when you are trying to lead a football team.

Furthermore, Newman expressed his confidence in Romo's ability to be a strong leader. That is hardly throwing him under the bus.

This is the case of a journalist trying to create division on your team and setting up a few Terence Newman bashers who love to make him a human pinata for some reason. Either that or he's trying to make "news". Either way, he's trying to paint one of your very best players in a poor light. He needs to be smarter than this and listen to the context of the question.

Bill Parcells stated that Ternence Newman was one of Dallas' very, very best players. He's an elite player whether some want to give him credit or not.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Serioulsy, I would cut or trade the guy. He's stupid, he never plays a full season, and he's not that great of a player.

Yes clearly that is the best way to handle our best CB.

 

[Vintage]

if your point is you have no point, you win.

if your point is you miss parcells and TO, you win.

if your point is anything else related to making sense, i'm not alone in my epic fail.

for all the people who blow smoke up TO's arse, he sure is lacking in any significant jewlery to be given such status. his winding up in buffalo speaks measures about real teams wanting hm.

yet some bitter fans will still flog us with the damn memory of TO cause they wanna cry about it.

have fun.

Wow.

This is funny.

Keep swinging and missing.

Are you sure we're talking about the same interview? If so, that's a very good catch.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

TNew never said anything bad about Jessica (or Romo for that matter). He was actually critcizing the way the media exploits the relationship between Tony and Jessica, which is their personal business. The Dallas media is full of liars and ****starters. Sadly, the fans eat it all up without thinking for themselves.

 

[BehindEnemyLinez]

Obviously, Newman's comments hurt MOST OF YOU more than they did Romo (judging by their playing golf together)! Man, you guys are sensitive! If Romo let Newman's quote upset him, how do you expect him to run a football team? It's all part of his "celebrity"...like Hos said, if you have a famous significant other, you have to be prepared to be scrutinzed. For the record, I don't think New was criticizing him personally, but explaining how Romo was viewed in/by the media and fans last season. I think they've been pretty good friends over the years and I'm sure they regularly golf together (they're probably the two best on the team), so this is just a story for you gossiping sissy-marys and tabloid "reporters" like JJT.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Who cares what Newman said... It's the truth.

 

[fanfromvirginia]

I've just watched the interview and have softened my stance. He was fine, he wasn't throwing Jessica under the bus or anything like that.

His Bull Durham cliche speak does need some work. If you think he got a raw deal from the media then say exactly that. Don't make us guess; don't open a crack for the media.

 

[iceberg]

Wow.

Keep swinging and missing.

yep. i deserved that.

The video is good, especially the part when the interview was interrupted by the phone call lol.

One of the obvious things missing here is the Question asked. How do you know the context of what is being said without the proper question.

Interviewer: "Troy Aikman says that Tony hasn't fully grasped what being the Cowboys quarterback is really about. In your opinion, is he wrong when he says that?"

Newman: "I think that with the situation that Tony was in, I think it hurt him a little bit. Being a first year starter and having a girlfriend limelight situation. It's going to take away from him being a successful quarterback. He won 13 games and everything was perfect, but now after this past season it's 'is he doing enough', 'is he working hard enough', 'hes got a girlfriend.' Once he inherited the starting quarterback job, and his relationship got into the national media attention, I think that it was something that hurt and took away from Romo being a great quarterback."


Yes. Newman is simply agreeing with Troy Aikman. "That stuff" was used against Tony Romo. Fair or not. Perception matters when you are trying to lead your football team. The media goes into your lockerroom. The players hear and see the "picture' being painted of you. If they start believing that perception or picture, you are in trouble as a leader. A Quarterback has to lead. They are one and the same.

There are two things players should never talk about publicly: another player's money or his woman.

Terence Newman violated that rule the other day, when he talked about Tony Romo's relationship with Jessica Simpson affecting his ability on the field.

That's just wrong.

Just like it would've been wrong for Romo to say Newman didn't deserve the six-year, $50 million extension he received becasue he has an issue staying healthy since he's only played 23 of 32 games the past two seasons.

You don't talk about another man's money because he's worth whatever the organization is willing to pay him.

And you certainly don't talk about another man's wife or girlfriend for any reason unless you have something nice to say because we all know you can't help who you love.
Those words are personal. Those words cut deep. Those words cause wounds that can't be healed by sayng, "I'm sorry" or "I was taken out of context."

It's unprofessional and it's unfair.

This is what I mean when I say this team is in deep need of healing and until it happens, this team isn't going to win anything of note.

This team has issues. The players don't trust one another. The coaches don't trust the players. The coaches don't trust the coaches.

How could they? Wade Phillips threw his most loyal subject - defensive coordinator Brian Stewart - under the bus as soon as he could.

This team needs a week of group hugs and bonding. It's needs those teamwork and trust exercises that occur at workplace retreats.

If it doesn't happen, these Cowboys as currently constructed will bring nothing but disappointment.

Must be another slow day for the Media......

Funny thing is how many reporters have broken "locker room code" for a story...
