Training Camp Coverage Changes

[DallasInDC]

I don't know if its just me, but it seems coverage of Cowboys training camp has dropped off considerably from where it used to be (10-15 yrs ago).

I remember When you would get multiple updates and videos from the media talking heads throughout a single day of coverage...all types of analysis. You would have the internet podcasters dissecting every play. Player updates were constant through out the day. Then you had fans sharing videos and reporting out their observations. It felt like nirvana. Now your lucky to get a half dozen tweets and videos that just keep getting reposted by everyone. Over 80% of the post here are not even related to what is happening in training camp but general conversations about the Cowboys that happens pre-training camp (don't get me wrong this not a criticism of the fans on this site, just the lack of training camp coverage in general).

Shells and shorts will do that.

It’s a lot of fluff right now.

Definitely. I think it's mostly because teams have put a lot of restrictions on filming/reporting in camp.

There's also a lot less to actually cover since they passed the new CBA. Limited padded practices and no two-a-days. No longer getting morning/afternoon reports.

The tweets are less.

Though I’ve been listening to DLLS podcast and crown global medias podcasts. They’ve been covering every day.

Pads on now. Preseason starts in 12 days. Things will change pretty quickly soon.

There’s loads of stuff out there.

As you said, like every year, it’s rehashed.

80% of it is “content creators” who do nothing more than tweet quotes from press conferences and stealing from whichever one of them tweeted it first.

A smaller amount of them actually do a bit of research and formulate their own ideas and produce something that’s somewhat their own.

Gotta go find those and tune out the rest.
