Actually, I'm not sick of it. I like that we're America's Team and I like that perception. But with that comes scrutiny. What's important is for the team to handle and manage it. The 90s Cowboys got a ton of scrutiny; but they were also mentally tough, handled it, did not let it affect them, and won big despite having to face it. Many mebmers (but not not all) of this Cowboys team are having a difficult time handling the scrutiny, and so their mental weakness is shoeing, and even helping translate ot losses. That's what you're feeling and are probably sick of. But put it in persepctive; it's not the scrutiny that is the major problem hear; it's this overall team's inability to handle and manage it. If anything, that's what I'm most sick of.

go root for the Lions if you don't want scrutiny. Popular teams get a ton of scrutiny. Duh.


True we are a popular team but the whole act is old...I just wish our team would finally play up too there potential...I mean our team can barely even tackle...look at ken hamlin...he is horrible this year...since he signed his contract he sucks! our team is a joke it seems:banghead:

Better question.

Who is sick of folks ruining this board with their complaints about media scrutiny?

Me.

Big bad media is in the fans kitchen and in the Cowboys kitchen.

Sad.

Media Scrutiny?

Are you kidding me, the "fans" on this board could teach the media a few things about scrutiny.

You know, I was for Wade being let go at the end of last year, it probably was the thing to do, but this board, wow, just wow!

The only thing worse is media scapegoating. "Don't leave home without it."

Until this team dominates several games in a row against teams considered elite by the media get used to it.I think the scrutiny is just,if you like the spotlight you have to be prepared for the outhouse as well.At this moment things are not well and oh the smell.

even then it won't stop because someone in the media will say, "well beat them in December and then we will talk"

And they'd be absolutely right. Beating up on patsies (our specialty this year) doesn't tell us a damn thing. All it'll do is lighten the mood around here until the next disaster strikes.

The Dallas cowboys are a very popular team, so you Are always going to have intense scrutiny. The Cowboys of the past were able overcome it, making far less then the players today, so today's players should be able to handle it.

then is the media right or wrong in their critisizm or does it just remind you "we're a joke" and you want to vent?

on one hand - damn the media
on the other hand - damn the cowboys

either way - we're all damned and i can't take it anymore!!!!! :cool:

Why do people even care what the media thinks? It's not like if the media likes the Cowboys they will win more games.

because if they hear it on TV it gives it a credibility they won't give their own thoughts.
