Recap: Avazzono was blasting Media on Galloway Show w/audio

[RCowboyFan]

About this whole 4th down deal with Tony Romo. He said this is the type of stuff that drives a line between media and Lockeroom. Since no matter what Tony Says now or his teammates say now, people wont believe him or media won't buy it

He said its one thing to question his decision making or QBing skills etc. that has plenty of evidence. But to redicule a guy on some flaky Video evidence wihout getting proper confirmation, is just plane bad.

I am just paraphrasing what he said btw. I hope DCFANATIC has a cut of his appearance ( not sure how he manages to get cut of any or every significant interview of cowboys, but hats off to him for that).

Anyway personally I thought that people in media or Fans readily believed that Tony Didn't know it was 4th down was downright idiotic, unless Tony himself came out or his teammates said he didn't know.

I haven't played football, but have played other sports in high enough level to know that, at the level Tony is playing, you cannot be that unaware, especially being at the position he is at. Not saying it doesn't happen ( since Joe pointed at couple of instances where , forget the name of qbs he mentioned, that forget the downs), but I dont think at that junction, he forgot that.

Unfortunately in this day of Blogs and instant news, things go out hand way too quickly.

Joe Avazzono attacking the media? He must be mentally weak...

 

[RCowboyFan]

Ugh,got the thread topic wrong. It should have said "Didn't see this posted anywhere about Joe Avezzono blasting media on Randy Galloway Show". Can one of the mods correct it? Thanks.

Who cares what Romo thought or did not think. Every play needs to be called right, read right and executed right. The last 2 plays were not. Dozes of others were not. Sorry Coach Joe, but you can't put that on the media.

Did you even read the post or started jumping up and down about Romo? Joe said one can question or critsize Romo about those throws etc. He said nothing or didn't defend Romo. Sorry if it didn't fit your agenda.

You know, I was never a believer of Romo or always thought Romo wasn't going to be that good. Even I, don't get on Tony Romo as some of the fans do now.

So stop getting excited about anything positive said about Tony Romo as a defense of ROmo's play.

Coach Joe on GAC

Coach Joe! He does pretty much make a statement here.

And says he talked to Aikman about this and he said he would have also thrown the same passes to Hurd. I think Aikman would throw that pass because he's thrown that slant 1,000,000 times to Irvin and it was highly successful.

If it's me I am still sending out Witten. And I am coming out in a Two TE set. Hurd just gave us everything he could. It was time for him to be on the bench.

Interesting tidbit for fellow zoners and zrinkill, Joe Avazona and Troy Aikman were spoted outside of Houston's Stake house last Monday speaking in the parking lot. I think I heard Troy say that he is pretty sure Barber's quad is still bothering him, to which Joe replied, seriously Troy shutup. May have made that last part up...carry on zoners.

who's the #1 reason why the media is the way it is when it comes to the Cowboys? i'll give you 1 guess

Thanks for posting it man, not sure how you do it or have time to do it, but kudos for doing that though.

The fans, because they continue to buy their crap.

I agree with Joe, I just don't see this as a big deal. Missing open WR's is.

The sports media's ego has gotten out of hand over the years. I think we need to trade Romo at the end of this season and move on, but he doesn't owe me and the fans jack squat except for playing his hardest and trying to be the best player he can possibly be. And he really doesn't owe the media a single thing.

It drives wedge between the fans and the media as well. Newpaper and magazine sales are down everywhere and I for one simply cannot trust people like Peter King (especially after the Favre situation), Mr. Blue Suit, Mr. I Read Lips and Mr. Schism. Too many vendettas on hand and things like integrity and accuracy take a backseat to breaking a story regardless of accuracy and getting some soundbyte that was taken out of context.

Of course, they'll say that's what the fans want, but the media is supposed to have honestly, accuracy and integrity and be the 'teacher' and not sell themselves out for a few a couple of tenths of ratings points and some Web site clicks.

I don't think it's being old fashioned, I just think that's the way things are supposed to be. Unfortunate we often lose sight of that.

And it still doesn't make it right.

Paris Hilton loves and craves attention. If somebody were to punch her in the face that would bring more attention to her, doesn't mean it's right for her to be punched in the face.

The media should hold themselves to a higher standard. Apparently they don't and it works because there's people that constantly apologize for their behavior.

Absolutely agree. There is very little professionalism in the sports media.

Part of the reason is that sports journalists are the bottom the journalism barrel. Top journalists want to work for the New York Times covering the White House (the real one not the one from Cowboys of the 90's) not covering the Saints for whatever their local paper is.

I wish someone would start a credibility index that tracks journalists and assigns a rating. That might get them to take there job more seriously.

Right now the sports media is mostly a bunch of shock jocks looking to make a name for themselves without regard to integrity.

Like I mentioned before and I have said it from begining , I don't believe in Romo completely till proved otherwise. But you don't trade him. Its easy to forget now how bad it was before Romo got here.

Just because we have 3-4 new QBs doing good in NFL from their rookie years its going to keep happening.

I think this is either a great test for Romo or Romo is permanently damaged. My contention or doubt of Romo was, first he never seemed to be careful with the ball. Second he didn't have great predigree (i.e. not a big time College QB or won anything i.e. championship or bowl game etc. from High School to COllege to now). Third, in the interviews I heard him before he became cowboys QB, he always seemed bit over confident. Confidence is good, but it never should border on Arrogance. Thats why I was always skeptical of Romo, till begining of this year. I started to hear different Tone and attitude.

But now I am starting to believe that has also caused confusion to Romo and so now he has become scared to pull the trigger. So now not only he does not make plays, but now he is only making bad plays mostly or making more bad plays than good ones.

Phil Simms apparently told Jennifer Floyd Engel that he doesn't think Romo has hit the Rock Bottom yet. Phil told her that once he hits and can get out of it, he will become a great QB. I hope Phil is correct. But I am not sure Romo hasn't almost reached Rock bottom already.

I think Jerry should get him some real coaches and wrs and see what happens.

If you're talking about TO I'm not sure I agree with that. The Cowboys finally became a good team when TO arrived (not saying TO is what made us a good team though), and that's when the media turned on them.

Come to think of it they've always hated on the Cowboys. JFE and Galloway come to mind.

ps Rampage is one funny guy.

Huh no. They are bad too. Problem is, its not sports journalism, everywhere, Journalists have become biased one way or the other. You cannot trust Journalistsm especially big time papers or TV, totally, unless you can cross check those reports from different sources.

Its the internet and Blogosphere that changed a lot. Sports Journalism had integrity before, more than political journalists, but now that has changed too.
