My guess would be working for the team doesn’t pay as much

I think her beau is in Miami somewhere and she might be getting to that age where she wants to put down root and spit out some babies. Ya never know. I liked her work but for most of the kids they hire they could probably make more managing a McDonald's. But it's a labor of love and has shown to be a pretty good stepping stone to bigger and better things for a lot of them. Rowan Kavner, Dan Brugler, Dani Surek, Ed Cahill, David Helman, Manny Acho, Kelsey Charles et al have all gone on to pretty big thangs after spending time as basically interns with the Cowboys. Kyle Yeomans is the next likely candidate for a bigtime gig somewhere. Dude is a good young talent with a pretty good look for TV and a good play by play type voice.

Hailey Sutton was doing a bang-up job on everything she touched. She is a huge loss for the Cowboys media department. However, congratulations to her for winning that Emmy.

I've really enjoyed the addition of Patrik "No C" Walker and Nick Harris to the "Talkn' Cowboys" & "Cowboys Break" casts.

Last but not least, I'm so happy to see Shannon Gross returning to "Hangn' With the Boys". I wasn't feel'n Jesse as the main host.

This year has been the best year ever, in my opinion, and my history as a fan. And I don't just mean the in-house coverage; I'm talking about their coverage of the team in general.

People sometimes say they don't like Spagnola, or Eatman, or whatever. I like all of those guys and our females are all top-notch. But I particularly like Iisha's approach and desire to really learn about the game.

It's really about what they all bring together. And their producers stepped up their game in 2023. I wonder who's behind that, and the much better video quality from camp. Whoever it is, good work.

The biggest addition or improvement has been from a production aspect. We have Nate Newton sounding interesting. We have a fresher-sounding Mickey Spagnola. Say what you want, Youmans is good. But he knows it, and I think wants to prove it. The only problem with that is, we already see it, and he can sometimes talk over Stanback and Bill. But that's a great crew right there.

Hailey Sutton was a tad green last year, perhaps a bit apprehensive. But man, this year it's like she's been at it for a decade. Total pro right there. Eatman is improving on camera, and does better when he's just being himself rather than trying to imitate Youman's energetic style. He always keeps it real and speaks from a lot of experience. You need that Youmans energy but not from the whole staff. I'm definitely leaving out the newer, talk show guys/gals. But I can't complain about any of them.

I think Broaddus got sidetracked a bit from the pandemic last year, but once he digs in, he's got some interesting takes on various issues, whether we agree with him all the time or not. Patrick No C, and others do well, too.

Who could forget Jesse Hollie?I like how he's serious sometimes, and then not afraid to goof off a little to lighten things up.

Jess does well, although I sense she projects a little conflict somewhere, but I haven't paid attention to it all that much, so I could be reading her wrong. She's a near spitting image of one of my ex's, like the resemblance is crazy. Same first name, too. But my ex was probably crazier, truth be told. I'm also leaving out some of the females because I can't remember their names off-hand.

We also have our resident media personnel who work for outside publications, a conglomerate that I also happen to have a contract with, although I'm currently not actively publishing, and my niche is a different topic. But I plan on revamping that back up in January or shortly after.

Anyway, I just wanted to give the media folks their due propers. They deserve it. Keep that coverage coming and I'll never even be tempted to watch Dip Bayless ever again, and I promised myself to never intentionally give him even a single click — even if he does co-host with Michael Irvin.

Just wanted to give a shout out to the crew at DC and elsewhere. And, lastly, I can't forget Reality, all the mods, and the other commonfolk posters who make this such and awesome place to be a fan.

Thank You all, for doing such a bang up job around here and out there.
A valentine to the media?
Running out of material?

Don't know about you guys but I still like Jane Slater.

And she made herself even more attractive when she literally burned Skip Bayless in a tweet recently. :laugh:

Me personally, I would get rid of at least half of the shows. Such overkill!

What is the story behind that change? Some really good Cowboy reporters are losing jobs or moving.
We have a great media team. Other organizations and media outlets pay attention to talent just like NFL front offices

Listen to “hangin with the boys” every day it’s on. I do occasionally catch some of the other shows too.

Man, you and I are on the same wavelength in terms of viewing preferences.

No C is a skilled writer does a great job presenting his material. He's one of may favorite Cowboy personalities to listen to.

Also, She doesn't need my confirmation for anything but I think Iisha has come a long way. I remember leading up to the draft sensing she was ill-prepared in relation to Bryan and the boys but she's really picked it up. She's proving to be very in-tune with what's happening and is full of good-to-know information. Don't discount the ladies from Boys Talk, 'Boys Talk, those ladies can talk football.

If you guys listened to the near-sighted homers on other broadcast during preseason, some of which you really couldn't listen to, I'm sure you appreciate what the organization has put together even more.
