this over dramatic ass article about the Cowboys/49ers game being flexed out of primetime
The Cowboys should be outraged they are playing poorly enough to be flexed off Sunday Night Football (msn.com)

the team had their game against the San Francisco 49ers this week flexed off of Sunday Night Football and into the noon slot where the least important teams play.

Linebacker Jaylon Smith met with the media on Thursday and was asked about the unprecedented move involving his team (and brand if we’re being honest). Not only did Smith not know until the question was asked that the Cowboys had been flexed out, but he offered up what might have been the worst answer that he possibly could have regarding the situation.

Do I think that it is important in any way, shape, or form for Jaylon Smith to know what time kickoff is? No, that’s silly. Don’t get this twisted. It has nothing to do with Smith not knowing the time of the game, the network that it is on, or any of that needless information.

The thing about this here is the quote regarding Jerry Jones. It doesn’t seem like Smith cares that the Cowboys were relegated from the most elite television slot that the NFL offers to the scrap heap. The problem is that he does not seem to be bothered by the fact that the Cowboys are fading further and further into mediocrity. The problem is that his passivity is an extension of the way that Jerry Jones - the owner, not the head coach - feels about the situation. That is the problem here. To get down to brass tacks here... Jaylon Smith should be outraged that the Dallas Cowboys were flexed out of primetime. The fact that this happened is the most flagrant indication to date that they are a team headed more quickly in the wrong direction than Smith often is himself.
