The only hype I will buy

Bobhaze said:
As I said in the OP, I support any fan’s right to express however they feel about this team. I like what you said about the difference in buying hype and just being positive about the changes.

I have no problem with any of that. I’m just withholding my unbridled enthusiasm until I see something good that matters. And that will involve a scoreboard.

It's just a coincidence that the hype about how great the Cowboys team will be this year always occurs in June.

I have no problem with the fans that want to be excited about the team this year but myself I will wait until the season starts.

If we’ve learned anything in the last three decades about the Jones family running the Dallas Cowboys it is this: The hype machine never stops grinding and the sales booth is always open. Despite three decades of under-performing when it matters most on the field, the shameless marketing of “America’s Team” never takes a break.

Here we are in June, a month away from training camp and we are already being PR-pummeled with the sales pitch that a first time head coach the Jones boys call “Schotty” is “turning this thing around” with his backward visor while forging “bromances” with every single player. I want Schotty to win but please…

Let me make it clear: I will be thrilled if this team is really good this year. My problem is acting like they’ve already done something before they’ve even put on the pads. The only hype I will buy from this organization will be on the scoreboard in games that matter.

For those of you buying in right now I completely support your enthusiasm and your right to express it on this forum. If you are excited by what you see and hear now, I support your enthusiasm.

Conversely, I hope that my reluctance to buy before I’ve seen results will also be seen as my right. “I will believe it when it happens” has not only been my mantra for years, it is my way of saying I love the Cowboys without buying what our shameless owner and his entitled son are selling.

The only hype these days I’m buying will be results…on the field…in games that matter.

I know you have been waiting for this response.
 
I'm long past buying into any hype but I do realistically assess what is being done now this season compared to what has been done in the past.
Last season we were basically just lied to it wasn't even hype we we're told we were going all in and did the complete opposite.

I'm fully aware no matter what hype is pressed upon us there is no way we are winning a Super bowl with Jerry in control and it's not because he can't it's just because he refuses to a lot the necessary resources to do the job I have lowered my expectations to just having some good football to watch and maybe making a little deeper run in the playoffs.

That said when I see logical effort being made I find no reason to jump up and down and dwell on the negative.
I don't find any need to make all kind of negative bold statements at this point in the season until the rubber meets the road and we truly see what we have on the field.
It's a very long season cowboy fans there is plenty of time for the negative I just see absolutely no reason to pregame it all offseason when there have been some positive changes made.

I think it's because he can't.

Ok. But the same old “blah, blah, blah” is always in the eye of the beholder.

To some fans that “blah, blah, blah” is people getting mad because some Cowboys fans aren’t excited enough or only want to talk about why they are frustrated with the lack of success and the Jones boys doing their Wash, rinse, repeat routine.

To other fans, that “blah, blah, blah” is listening to some fans gush every year about this time of year about how great this team is going to be before pads have even been worn and that every draft pick is a beast and future all pro.

Why can’t both be ok? I can’t be gushy about any team that has neither finished its roster nor played a down of meaningful football yet. And has a history of underachieving with the same leadership at the top who never seems to learn.

I completely understand you and other fans are excited about the changes - the new coaching staff, the draft picks, the Pickens, trade…I get it. AND I fully support any fan here who wants to express that same excitement.

My bottom line is either should be ok on this forum. Right?

My Blah, blah, blah, was not referring to those with their general opinions. It was about those that spew the same hate comments over and over and over. Without discussion containing any football comments.

The zenith stromberg dual carburetor and Lucas wiring was a nightmare.

The last straw was the left axle half coming out of the rear end......piece of crap

However the TR-6s are a different story to some degree

I am excited about the changes. In the coaching staff. Out with some players that needed to be gone. Replaced with others that may or may not be upgrades. But not worse either.
The draft classes over the past 3 years. How will they be.

Yes, always, need to see it on the field. But watching the changes and how the season unfolds has me looking forward to the season far more than last year at this time.

We have an exciting looking team and coaching staff. No hype. It's fun to watch for fans and people who like football.
