Stallions Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Is their dominance on TV driven by Jerry Jones? A long history of being the best NFL team in Southern TV markets? Fans across the NFL world hoping the Cowboys fail? The large TV market in TX, OK, Missouri & Arkansas? Playing in the NFC East with huge TV markets in NYC, Philadelphia & Washington? WHY? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when they are losing, they seem to thrive in the residue of past glory. The same can be said about the Dolphins. Both teams have not won a thing in years, yet they somehow stay relevant. I Don't get it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJ Bills backer Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 When will FOX stop pushing the cowboys? About the same time they stop pushing trump down our throats (sorry - more appropriate for PPP board) 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those reasons, plus the fact that they are one of the very few teams with a true national fanbase, should spell it out for you. Have fun with it - watch them lose. Repeatedly. It’s very satisfying.

BigDingus Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Do you not enjoy watching them lose? It's not like Fox (or the sports media members in general) have been kind to them. They're not out there raving about them or making excuses for them, if anything they're piling on more & more. I'm enjoying every minute of it, more Cowboys coverage please, it's hilarious! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 TV decisions are business based, and the Cowboys draw higher ratings than other teams. Selecting a game which will likely produce higher ratings leads to greater add revenue, and that is their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergie's ire Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I live in CT and when I walk in a mall outside of Hartford and go by the Sports Apparel shop, I see Patriots (of course), Steelers, and Cowboys stuff hanging in the window. Everywhere I have lived there have been plenty of Cowboys fans....and there are even more of us who really hate them. So, they are a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagon127 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I mean, its been this way for the cowboys for 30 years. I think i learned to live with it 10 years ago. I think if you arent a bills fan by geographical location. You are a bills fan, because they have to earn every recognition they get. The small town team mentality. Now we have 3 national tv games in 4 weeks, because we are 9-3. And the one game that isnt, is still being sent to a large audience (baltimore). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Digg? Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The Cowboys have the largest following throughout the nation and it's not even close. As much as we all don't like them, they generate huge ratings and bring in a lot of money. People love it when they win and they love it when they lose. No matter what, the NFL wins when the Cowboys are on tv, simple as that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
