Wanting equality from media is a pipe dream. Wanting it from sports talking head media is a LSD self-induced hallucination.

Sports media is almost exclusively entertainment driven. It will never give equal coverage or analysis to every team in any sports league.

Name a league. NFL. MLB. NHL. NBA. Etc. A small number of teams and players will get talked about favorably or unfavorably. All the rest will barely get a peep of airtime. It's about fulfilling the entertainment need of too much of an unfocused audience. News is irrelevant.

Heck. Stephen A. Smith has made a career of being loud and opinionated about a small number of teams and pro athletes. He is not a sports news journalist. He is not a sports news anchor. He is a megaphone. And a rich one at that.

Anyone want 'fair'? Stop tuning in to sports talking head shows, podcasts and clips. They are not going to deliver fairness to you anyway.

No because we are America's team. Its just like Josh Allen who throws a lot of picks and or fumbles the ball. No one mentions it. But remembers Daks because we are the Cowboys. Love it or hate it everything our players do are under a microscope.
Says every Cowboys fan ever. It not true, but fun to say.

Dak is not good ,period. Now, Jalen has been hyped up by the talking heads on every sports nation since arriving. His legs are what makes Hurts, as it did Mr. Cam Newton. Once you take that away, I will take my chances against Hurts as the league did to Newton. Don't have time to explain L. Jackson, just put his name in place of Hurts above and re-read.

Oh, they are pretty clear on their narrative. Deion is the best coach that has ever lived and deserves a head coaching job right away.

No they really don’t. Especially when they see the level of suckage on broadcast. At this point you can pretty much guarantee they Dak will crap the bed against the 49ers
It's easy to focus on one guy, Dak isn't all that, but he's far from the only issue we have. Again, take off the blinders....

He is by far the biggest issue we have outside of Jerry. When he sucks he sucks the offense down with him, when the offense sucks so hard that they leave the defense out to dry it kills any chance of being competitive.

What big game has he won? Not the one that matters for sure. 49ers against their 3rd sting QB?
Losing big games is bad. Not being in one is worse. If you believe Dak Prescott is great because he’s never lost a Super Bowl (he hasn’t) good for you. Most Cowboys fans want him to win one, not, not lose one because he’s never even been in one. But, you do you.

When was the Last time a Dallas cowboys QB won a Road Playoff game?

If Cowboys lost to Tampa would that be considered a big game???

Oops. That's right Tampa sucked because Prescott and Cowboys won

Dak Haters are Goalpost Shifting freaks :lmao: :lmao:
