Jalen is right. With Houston, 49ers, and Green Bay still in The playoffs, there's little reason to give Cowboys much coverage. The casual Cowboys fans have already checked out, so they are only talking to a small active fanbase, which is much smaller than the active fanbases of the 3 teams still in the playoffs. Way more Buffalo fans are tuning into ESPN than Cowboys fans right now. Traditionally, national media would reward local sports writers of playoff teams with air time. Now a handful of highly paid talking heads have to shoulder conversation of multiple teams across multiple leagues. Most of those guys, like SAS, just aren't up to the job and thus stick to a handful of franchises.

Cowboys, LeBron, Lakers, etc. these shows likely have analytics that show these topics spike viewership/engagement. Now whether that translates to increased revenue who knows. You can talk about baseball and no one will care or you can talk about the Cowboys and fans, haters, and people like Jalen will all engage.

Every single progesionall sports team has like 15 sites not affiliated with fox or ESPN. You subscribe to a different podcast for every professional sports team and curate a more informative product than you get from ESPN or fox sports so I don't get the point in making this complaint. If ratings dropped whenever cowboys were mentioned they'd stop talking about the Cowboys.

I find it fukked up and grimy that they're now trying to speak McCarthy or Sirianni getting fired into existence and replaced by Beli. When the tables turn on them though and they're the ones getting fired and laid off, they're asking for sympathy and people to be nice when the hypocrisy is called out.

This is on page 1 of the unemployed former player that used to be on TV trying to be edgy/different to remain relevant playbook. Talk about the Cowboys because you are so tired of Cowboys talk brehs :unimpressed:

People in this thread be like "I'm sick of the media talking about the cowboys why they not talking about my team" :mjcry:

Then they run into the cowboys thread on this website and set up shop for 3 days and spend more time in that thread laughing at the cowboys than they do in their own thread talking about their own team :mjlol:

"Why they not talking about the Texans :mjcry:"

You ever seen a "TEXANS LOSE DAPS AND REPS" thread on the coli:mjlol:

Me neither :mjlol:

Jalen been in the business too long to have this take. The media is going to cover what make them money, end of story. If ESPN could make more money covering ostrich racing than the Cowboys, guess what they would be running.

Ngga said ostrich racing like it ain’t 8 whole ass teams left in the playoffs

This is a lazy take, just like the lazy media
