Video TO responds to Bradshaw

[Maikeru-sama]

El-Oh-El.

This is exactly why I feel the "Roy" issue is the way it is. People have bought into the hate the media are selling, and are currently only in the business of outlining the negative, since they've become bigger fans of Dallas' moronic media personalities than Dallas Cowboys players.

It must be true, Grandpa Urine and Hate telled me it were!

I think it is a bit presumptuous to say that people are basing most of their opinions on what the media says.

I think alot of people watch the games and formulate their own conclusion. Now what they will do is go find a column or a radio interview that supports what they believe they saw, but the origin of their opinion is based on what they saw on film with their own eyes.

I think you give most people too much credit. I can't disagree with recent takes, and events contributing to them. But this has been an epidemic for years, now. And in Roy's case, I believe it's mostly due to the fact that the media - self-appointed gateway to the fans - has a vendetta against him because he dared to take them on, and not play nice. This has led to some impossible standard that doesn't care to look at things in a comparative way - simply in a vacuum.

Whatever it takes to keep him motivated.

I don't think motivation has ever been a problem for TO.


Or are you referring to Bradshaw? :laugh1:

There is no mistake that individuals like Matt Mosley has a vendetta against Roy Williams, so I agree.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Roy Williams having a weakness in his game, all players have a weakness that can be exploited by opposing teams. Most Strong Safeties struggle in coverage that is a fact and it is also a fact that opposing offenses try to isolate Roy. Doesn't mean Roy Williams is a horrible player, but like I mentioned before, he just has a weakness that he needs to work on and/or the Cowboys will have to disguise it better.

Just about everyone on this forum has seen all the games the Cowboys have played in recent memory and therefore have enough material to make a somewhat educated assessment of each player on the roster, especially the high profile players.

Now some members of this forum have more football acumen than others and that certainly helps, but for the most part, alot of the arguments that take place on this board is based on someone trying to make a cogent argument about what they saw during the game.

Now they will quote members of the media to buttress their claim, but that is common in every facet of life.

If there was a media blackout for 1 game and nobody could listen to the media you would still have arguments on this board because:
A) People love to argue
B) As stated earlier, people argue about what they saw on film

Hey I got this on Tuesday and Sunday Owens gets 4 TD's!

Lets GO T.O.!

Besides the Superbowls...I like watching Bradshaw.

I think he just has a good time and does not take things too serious.

But hey, that is just me.

I agree. I don't always agree with what Terry says but he has fun and as you said does not take the show or himself too serious. Like any sunday show there are going to be things he says that I just laugh and disagree with but I don't get upset over any of it. Sunday football shows can't be like this site where we all agree and speak with a single voice!!!

I think you overestimate the intelligence level of the typical fan/poster. A high percentage of the mouth breathers are heavily influenced whether they realize it or not.

Some in the media are slick about it with things like "I'm not an Xs and Os guys but......", others are outright bold in their bias with things like "Roy Willy" but one can't deny that the media bashing came before the fans' bashing.

Some fans scramble into the chats with various Dallas area media types as if being a writer for some paper somehow makes that person an expert on the Cowboys. I've never understood the respect that some people give to people's opinions who probably makes less a year than my garbageman.

Sure I like going to the circus and watching clowns or the fat bearded lady, I laugh at them not with them.
