When the Cowboys are mediocre or poor, they still get a lot of coverage, and when they're good you could prosecute ESPN for sodomy with Jerry Jones under Texas state law.
You cracked me up on that one, Oly!
I don't mind the lack of coverage, and actually would prefer not to get a lot of press. The fewer possible distractions, the better. Look at what's happening with the Redskins, or what has happened to the Jets. We had lots of media attention when Brian Bosworth played for us, and what did it get us?
It's only natural that teams like the Cowboys, Steelers, Redskins, Patriots, Packers, and Niners are going to get more media attention than teams like the Seahawks. They are far more recognizable to the casual fan and thus, attract the casual viewer or reader to pay attention, and thus increase their advertising revenue. It doesn't bother me a bit, and except as it relates to my being able to watch them, I don't give a rip if we are never on MNF or SNF.
