It's really sickening how much time ESPN dedicates to the Cowboys. I'm bored of it. Outside of Dallas and maybe Philly how many football fans really give a shit about TO? I know I don't because when they do a segment on TO I often change the station.

I agree. Even Peter King gave the first full page of his 5 page column to them, plus he quoted Jerry Jones about 5 times about different topics throughout the article! Enough of these clowns already. There are 31 other teams in this league and there are a lot more interesting stories going on around the league that don't get nearly the attention Dallas gets.

frank, I know and have seen how much you HATE ESPN but i am one of the few that LOVE ESPN and all their networks. If i get sick of seeing certain things beat like a dead horse, i turn it for awhile. When they became a 24 hour network, what did you guys all think they were going to talk about? They have a TON of time to fill and there simply isn't that much happening on a daily basis to cover 24 hours of tv. They take stories and they take high profile teams, like Dallas the NYY, Boston, LA and others and they focus a little more on them. Basically, i think based on their following/popularity. I don't know, all in all, they spend a ton of money on reporters here, there and everywhere and they cover things inside & out. I don't know what i would watch on T.V. if ESPN wasn't there. I remember the days before them and it was like pulling teeth just trying to find a score of a game.


I know many here hate ESPN and what they do but i really don't and i guess i'm just surprised at how many of you "Sports" fans do.

i hear you! I do dislike ESPN but at the same time I almost always watch it. Like you, I often change the station when another report about the Cowboys or TO comes on.

I also get the NFL network. While they're not as bad as ESPN, with their love affair with the Dallas circus, they devote too much time to them.

I couldn't agree with your more. I'd rather have all the ESPN programming than go back to the day where it was impossible to get any scores.

I cannot agree with you more buddy! As i mentioned earlier in my post this cowboys team seems to play much better on the road. Romo is now 13-2 on the road as a starting qb, that is just unreal! This team is loaded with talent. Packers tried to stop us from beating them through the air so we punched them in the mouth w the ground game. There are so many playmakers on this team, stop TO Crayton and witten, felix and austin will burn you. Unreal! Good times being a boys fan! Thank god we are through with those 5-11 seasons!

A month later. Is it still good times being a Boys fan?

My oldest son has been a devoted Cowboys fan since he was a little boy. He's a very knowledgeable sports person who knows football, basketball and baseball...played 4 years of intercollegiate baseball, etc....but he's the biggest OU, Dallas Cowboys, and SA Spurs homer that ever lived. He's always calling me on Sunday giving me the Cowboys as one of his 'locks'. I don't think I'll be getting those calls any more. I think he's finally caught up with reality.

ESPN is basically the only game in town right now as far as sports-only channels go so no sports fan can really hate the network, but they've made themselves hard to love over the years for any number of reasons.

Just this week they refused to make any mention of this Brett Favre rumor even though they couldn't stop talking about him during the offseason.

They also chose not to suspend Lou Holtz for his Hitler comments only a couple months after suspending Jemele Hill for similar comments.

They hire ex-athletes who offer little to nothing as commentators. I love Emmitt Smith, but the guy is terrible on camera. He was a great football player, but he's a terrible analyst.

They air weekday college football games giving great exposure to small school teams, but talk about Notre Dame the whole game.

They air poker on the main channel at the same time as live sporting events with no television coverage.

The list goes on and on. I watch ESPN all the time, mostly for the live events, but there are plenty of reasons to dislike how they run the show and overexposure of the Cowboys is just one of many reasons.

A cowboys loss makes up for a niner loss every week for me....

Great write up. I agree wholeheartedly.

Daryl "Moose" Johnston won three Super Bowls with the Cowboys, but the former fullback doesn't see this Dallas team making the playoffs, let alone winning a Super Bowl.

Johnston, who lives in Dallas, says the city has turned on its beloved Cowboys.

"It's unbelievable. The reversal in the atmosphere of the town from the end of September to the end of October is unbelievable," Johnston told the Post. "You had people packing their bags for Tampa (site of Super Bowl XLIII) at the end of September and now they're canceling their reservations at the end of October. It's typical rats off the ship."

The most obvious problem with "America's Team" is the broken pinkie of starting quarterback Tony Romo, who has missed the team's past three games. Dallas went 1-2 in that stretch, including an embarrassing 35-14 loss to the GiantsNew York Giants in the Meadowlands. Backups Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger have struggled mightily, but Romo returned to practice yesterday during the team's bye week and is looking to start when the Cowboys play in Washington on Nov. 16

But Johnston said he believes the problems stretch far beyond Romo's absence.

"They weren't playing that well when Tony was healthy. They didn't play well against Cincinnati, didn't play well at Arizona. There's nothing to say when Tony gets back in there that everything is going to be fine again," said Johnston, who will be calling the JetsNew York Jets -Rams game for FOX on Sunday.

"When reporters talk to coaches and they're like 'What's going on, why can't you get this fixed?' it's like 'If I knew what was wrong, I would have corrected it. I am not in the business of losing football games with correctable problems.'

"When it's something you just can't put your finger on, that's scary. One week it's special teams, one week it's the quarterback, one week you can run the football and then your quarterback goes down and you are really exposed. Unfortunately for Dallas, I don't think anyone really knows what the problem is."

The Giants are more than happy to watch their longtime rivals suffer as they flourish. Even with the loss of DEs Michael StrahanMichael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora, the Giants continue their tremendous roll that started with last season's playoffs.

"With the Giants vs. the Cowboys it was a talk of team vs. talent and the team won out easily," Johnston said.

The Cowboys' trip to Washington starts a brutal stretch that ends their season. The Giants can do their part to keep the Cowboys out of the playoffs when the teams meet again on Dec. 14.

"It's going to be hard for them to qualify for the playoffs," Johnston said of the Cowboys. "The margin of error for them is so slim and they've got Washington, Philly, the Giants, Pittsburgh and Baltimore in their last seven games. They've got to win five of those final seven, so there is no margin of error for them. It will be interesting to see."

According to Johnston, no one involved with the team can escape the wrath of the media and fans.

"You don't have enough fingers down here," Johnston said. "It's Jerry Jones, it's Wade Phillips, it's the offensive line, it's the backup quarterback, it's the special teams, it's everywhere. And no one can really put a finger on where it is and that's the scary part."
