What is Florio's issue with Dallas

[jrumann59]

I mean I know some media people have issues with Dallas for various reasons, but did Dallas run over his dog or something he never seems to come across as unbiased. I know dallas has a monkey but I have never heard him be even remotely complimentary unless it was back handed

Kirk Cousins, Colt McCoy, it doesn’t matter. The Cowboys may cool off by the time it really counts, but they’re the hottest team in football for now.

We don't have the recent tradition of winning every year that a team like New England does. So they expect the Cowboys to fall off from the current run.

No big deal. The team just have to prove them wrong.

Isn't he an Eagles fan?

He's a scrub. He always has a jab in every article written about Dallas.

Dallas has the most fans in the NFL probably... but all of the other 31 teams combined still have a lot more than that. Since Jerry has been bungling things for years, Florio has been making jokes about Dallas since he started PFT back in the day, and it is an old standby for him. Just make a Joke about Dallas and a ton of people will like it.

Now, Dallas hasn't been good long enough to stop that. He gave them a compliment about Dallas being the hot team right now, but the backhand comment is because all the fans on PFT are still expecting it not to last.

Really, those fans (and Florio) haven't been watching enough to understand that this Dallas team is different from all the other Dallas teams since Jimmy Johnson. Garrett has been a national punch line, so they don't know what a great job Garrett has done changing the culture in Dallas yet. They are kind of figuring it out slowly... but by the end of the year I think everybody will understand that this isn't the same old Cowboys. This isn't the 2007 team that lost all of it's discipline by the playoffs.

How could they know yet that Dallas is so disciplined? They can't.

Everybody, including Florio will figure it out soon enough though.

If by cool off does he mean injuries to the O Line? Because the Cowboys aren't going to cool off with this offensive line for awhile. The Cowboys running game and the Broncos passing game are the 2 most dependable things in football.

we have played bad late in the season the last few years and lost games that could have gotten us in the playoffs. not really anything wrong with what he said to me.

The comment section is the most entertaining aspect of PFT. As mentioned above, that's the only reason Florio writes the way he does...for reaction purposes.

No, he's a Vikings fan.

some random sportscenter anchor took a shot at us yesterday. it's hilarious how butt hurt the entire media is right now.

 

[AbeBeta]

I love how everyone always thinks the media are out to get us

 

[viman96]

Zordon - who is Garrett shaking hands with in your sig picture?

 

[xvendettax914]

I love how everyone always thinks the media are out to get us

I dont think anyone thinks thy are "out to get us" but its clear they lack objectivity when speaking about the cowboys. I personally dont care either way, but to deny that fact is silly imo.

 

[TheFinisher]

@$&% Mike Florio haha

Last year was last year. This is this year. I would love to see these people's crystal ball because I could use it right about now to do some things in my life.

Florio fails to realize the style is 180 degrees different than before.

Heck, even we are struggling with that.

 

[dstovall5]

Who is this Florio guy y'all speak of?

Oh, they realize it but it doesn't make for good TV or print. They don't care about none of that (double negative intended).

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I really have no issue with what he said. He's simply stating that we could cool off, which could happen, he doesn't know and neither does anyone else.

It doesn't matter right now though to him because he feels we're the hottest team in football right now.
