I really think this applies a lot to the Dallas Cowboys. The media gets after us and guys like Romo, because it's ratings to them. We let them suck us in. Parcells said it best "You just got sucked".
Whether its NFL Network or ESPN, fans in general just buy into what these guys say. They aren't really more experienced or credible than the average fan, in fact, fans like most of us who are die hard Cowboys fans, know more about the cowboys than these national guys. Some of us probably know more about the team than some local reporters even.
You can often find out, when you read an article or watch a video, and it just completely lacks substance, or has assumptions or conclusions that you would berate a fan for coming to on this board.
Tony Romo isn't a leader because of golf, backwards hat, he isn't always yelling at people....
That is the thing with talking points they don't even need to be good. You just say them enough time, and they become "true".
Romo isn't clutch? Do the numbers back that up? Obviously not. Pundits will point to the game against the Lions and Jets... as if most QBs didnt have at least 2 games like that last year.
