So you guys say No C used to be halfway objective? Because he's Mickey Jr now.

That's definitely a bad take by him but I haven't really paid much attention to him to know which way he is leaning lately.

I'm sure she does, sort of. I've heard her talk about how she calls people in the organization and hits them up for info. But for the most part she seems to be wrong a lot with her predictions about what's going on with the Cowboys. I always wonder how much is made up for TV and how much is just someone giving her a random name to appease her because she is calling them up for info.

I think it's younger guys (interns) giving the info in hopes of sexy time.

I've watched plenty of the team podcasts and he's Mr Sunshine on pretty much everything. I just didn't follow him before he joined the team.

On another note, surprised Jane didn't mention Josh Jacobs. He's my favorite of all of them. He's good at everything, he's tough, he's quiet and doesn't complain... He just hasn't had a chance with the Raiders QB and overall situation. I'm sure they won't pay for any FA, but I wonder if they kind of want a proven guy there after Pollard didn't show much with his chance last year.
 
I'd bet Jerry has his star players meeting these murderous oil picnic heads from the mid east from time to time as well. Just like when he was parading them around during the Jimmy days.
 
No talks are a positive thing as far as I'm concerned when a good QB wants elite money.

These people are morons.

It's about creating a culture that prioritizes football and winning first, that's what the great teams and organizations do, but not this one.

It's no surprise that morons who suck at the teat of the Cowboys demented media ecosystem would blather this stupidity though.
 
Right, so where do the Ernsters and No Cs draw the line? So it's okay for people to bang on the glass like you're a zoo animal during a set of cleans... Would it be okay to sell tickets to player workouts? To put a literal spotlight on the players while they're trying to work out? When is it too much?

Or is there no line where you don't blame the player for "not being focused enough"?

I hate that line of thinking... that if you have a problem with it, it's always your fault for not dealing with the Jerry Circus well enough. GTFO with that.

I'm sure there have been talks. But with this organization who knows. Jerry and Stephen have weird concepts in there head about what gives them advantages in negotiations.

These are both dumb braindead takes.

1. Not having a fishbowl workout room won't sink the cowboys into irrelevance - people didn't even know about it until just now and it didn't make them just another team. It's logical fallacy - taking away these types of things doesn't mean you take away everything that makes them relevant.

And by the way, WINNING makes you relevant. They didn't become this popular by fishbowling the players, they got there through winning. If not doing this unprofessional stuff helps win, shouldn't they do that?

2. EVEN IF taking away this kind of stuff meant falling into obscurity (which it doesn't), I'd guess most fans would rather win in obscurity than be mediocre in the spotlight. Kind of an easy choice.

3. No, being watched while you broadcast is not the same thing and it's an insult to our intelligence to equate the two.

When you broadcast, it's INTENDED and understood that you are going to be watched, regardless of whether someone is tapping the glass at you. The whole purpose of a broadcast is to be watched.

That's decidedly NOT the purpose of working out.

So what's the big deal?

Because people as human nature act differently and are more self conscious when they are being watched.

Broadcasts assume people are watching so you are already watching what you do and say. By the nature of the job you can't help it.

If you are being self conscious and trying not to embarrass yourself while working out, not only are you not comfortable, you might hold back and limit yourself to only what you know you can handle, which can block a guy's progression in the weight room.

It's cute that the mouthpieces are rushing to the team's defense but they are very wrong.
 
Not to defend Jerry, but I can’t help but think Schultz might have a case of sour grapes over not being re-signed with Dallas.
 
Yeah, Billy Hopkins is another Ernie, I guess.

I'd love to be one of 32 teams. Being the Kardashians of the NFL is a negative, not a positive.

For me, anyway.
 
If this was the only circus like thing I'd say it's overblown. These players play in front of people. I'm sure they can bench press in front of people too. But this is just one of what I imagine are many things. And yes, that shit makes players lose focus of what is really important, which is winning football games. No wonder these guys all feel like mega celebrities and act like it. They are treated like it. Even the backups like Sam Williams for example.

They also manipulate the timing of signings for the relevance. Right now, they have one side of the ape habitat legit mad.
