DarrellsMyHero28 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Are Cowboys fans seriously petitioning their biggest supporters in the media? ESPN loves the Cowboys, why would you petition them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 This is retarded. A petition is something people sign in order to incite change or prevent something from happening. So you're getting a bunch of people to say they hate espn. Big ****ing deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard86 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 ESPN as much as everyone else, plays this game with itself: Build up the Cowboys, take down the Cowboys, build up the Cowboys. I hate the Cowboys, and the obsession is stupid and tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 personally I like ESPN, its the reporters I am tired of. Boomer's shtick and his clever saying are stale. Stewart Scott just tries to be cool and use "hip hop" language because thats what he thinks will keep his job. Stephen A Smith is just an idiot that is more Iverson then Cronkite. Jackson just is just outright biased against certain teams (and I dont mean just the Redskins). If they would bring in new people and concentrate more on the news and less on being cool or hip to the crowd theyre reporting to I think they would be fine.

SkipJackSkin Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Love the Greg Oden one. Do you still think a big man can't sell? I was gonna say that's my least favorite of them. It's just too old now. I like the ones with Kenny Mayne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMK9973 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 You young'ins have no idea what it was like before ESPN. You got to watch 5 mins of NFL highlights on your 11 o clock news, or watch the "George Michael Sports Machine" at 11:30 with all the highlights cramped into 30 mins. If you missed it, that was in. No other highlights for you..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpillian Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I think Kenny Mayne's new little episodes are pretty funny. Outside of that, I really don't watch ESPN. However, I also agree with TMK9973; definitely an improvement over the nothing which preceded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcnativenerd Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 The thing I really don't like about ESPN is how they completely sucked up ABC Sports and took all their original programing, specifically Monday Night Football. Apart from that, and the hype machine around certain teams and players, I don't really hate ESPN. I have it on quite often, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Well, the pansies can always click over to Lifetime. There's probably some really crappy Shirley McClain movie on. Real simple. Back in the 70s when the NFL became the Sunday TV staple that it is now the Cowboys were really good, and really humble. Under Landry and Staubach they were the wholesome image that was easy to promote. They also won a lot, and so they were on national TV all the damn time. And so, there are more Cowboys (and Steelers) fans in America than any other team. So if you want to blame ESPN for covering them incessantly, you're barking up the wrong tree. Blame the NFL for marketing them so aggressively. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcnativenerd Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I always thought the Cowboys had that arrogant air around them, even in the 70's, which is why the Redskins-Cowboys rivalry was so strong back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasJay Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 LOL, the media loves the Cowboys? You have got to be kidding me. The media, especially ESPN's main goal is to cause drama in Big D. It's more like ESPN loves the Giants even WITH what has happened this year with Plax, etc. And your right. ESPN, it's highlights in general are okay, but they've become more than that now. They've become like a drama series. Their newscasters, commentators, etc are just idiots who think they know everything. You know you see this. Btw, it says on the site for now that all it is IS to show your hatred towards ESPN. No, maybe it isn't a big deal, but you know you hate ESPN and expressing your opinions/feelings is the best thing to do. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to look at it, for those who did. The site WAS started today so there wasn't much to expect except for the petition itself. And yes it is driven by a Cowboy fan, but what different does that make? ESPN sucks, I hate it, and seems like by the replies on here, all, or most of you do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Diehard Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 It is so funny that this guy thinks ESPN hates the Cowboys. They have Ed Werder permanently assigned there. They LOVE the Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I don't like a lot of their smarmy practices, but hate is pretty strong description. I just wish there was a solid alternative when ESPN goes on the warpath with their own soap opera reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCsportsfan53 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Actually one of the main things I hate about ESPN is that 60% of their football coverage is about the Cowboys. Everything they talk about winds up with what it means to the Cowboys and their chances. You can't watch one ****ing NFL network or ESPN show that talks any football at all without them spending time on the Cowboys. They need to just making an ESPN C, all Cowboys, all the time so that they can start talking about the rest of the NFL on the regular network occasionally. As far as creating drama in Dallas, no, that's not what they do. They overhype whatever is going on with them. If they're winning and everything's fine in the locker room, they'll be comparing them to Lombardi's Packers. If TO is going nuts and they're losing, they'll blow that up. No matter what the situation, the only thing guaranteed is that they will spend twice the time on the Cowboys as any other team and that no show will go without Cowboys talk. Other than that, the whole not covering anything and just being a soap opera for men pisses me off about ESPN. 96% of their content is wholly and entirely worthless and does not do anything. I don't really watch ESPN other than games anymore. I grew tired of their style a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
