Question...Why do so many of you post sports writers comments?

I don't post often here at the Zone but I do enjoying dropping in from time to time to read what my fellow Boys fans have to say.

However, I am unable to comprehend why so many of you choose to post anything these so-called sports writers have to say. :confused:

I'll admit that I, too, read what's written in the DMN because I receive the daily paper -- I like knowing stats, what went on at practice or who's hurt and will not play. What I do not do, though, is take written or verbal opinions seriously because I know that they do not have the slightest clue about real professional football. The only guys I take seriously are the ones that have actually strapped on a jock and hit someone and were paid to do so.

I apologize in advance for starting a thread some of you might find trivial. As I said, I was just curious....

BTW, will Jerra please cut Carpenter!
 
The main reason articles are posted is just to generate conversion, although some members do come here to read the articles, so the opinion of the author is secondary.

Some will take what they read to be true, others will not.

But the point is to talk about our team.

Having an article to dissect and discuss aids that goal.
 
I live in South Carolina and I love the fact that members post articles/news related to the Cowboys. I get my Cowboys fix everyday without having to look all over the net myself:D
 
cause if we didnt post and discuss what the media writes we would be just stuck discussing what people here write .....have you read some of the opinions posted here?:bang2:

One place which has pretty much any article on the internet posted daily. Even in tough football times, I enjoy reading about the Cowboys, even if it's just some blogs or by a less than stellar writer. That's what makes this site so good among other reasons.

Bingo.

Fans int he DFW area have no idea how starved those of us elsewhere are for news about the Cowboys. When theebs posts video clips from the DFW news channels I am so grateful I can't even tell you.

Every article that members here find, even those bashing the Cowboys, is like gold to me.
 
Hi Based in Manchester in England not sure how I would get this much Cowboys info if it wasn't for WG, Brainpaint and the like. I have also stopped going to dallascowboys.com as everything is here in one easy place. Makes my life and following the Cowboys ten times easier.

Thanks guys and girls keep up the good work.
 
just agreeing with the sentiments above, i'm in scotland so online is the only place i can get cowboys news. much easier to be able to just come on here and see what has been written rather than trying to search for it all on google.
i for one appreciate it.

also disagree with the original poster saying you don't understand the sport unless you have played professionaly

We need to do that more in the red zone. :D
 
The writers may not know squat,but they still have access to info that we don't have regardless of the knowledge of the game.. I am thankful for this site for all the daily news articles and video clips..

:) My one stop Cowboys fix as well.
 
Since every one of the locals are mindless, worthless hacks, I see no reason to further their careers by posting their garbage.

...Canada. I hope that is reason enough.
 
I like the articles, the only thing I find humurous is when people post articles "bashing" the cowboys and then follow it up with a comment of outrage.

On top of that, staved for news or not as we may be (I live in NY, so I understand that completely) but posting JJT articles and the like helps no one. If I want to read junk news and wild speculation based on a sliver of truth, I can pick up a tabloid on my way into work.
