Stallions Posted December 6, 2019 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
Golden Goat Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 I love watching them lose on national TV. 6 1

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.

I Don't get it either. I have to agree about Miami. Maybe Don Shula or their rapid rise to respectability after being a weak sister expansion team?

SJ Bills backer Posted December 6, 2019 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
Prickly Pete Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 When Trump declares Martial Law, crashes the economy, motions to overturn Roe vs. Wade, puts Muslims in concentration camps, and..... Never. 3 1

Playing in the NFC East with huge TV markets in NYC, Philadelphia & Washington? WHY? I mean, you sort of answered your own question in the body of your post. 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 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
MJS Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 They have a lot of fans. They make a lot of money.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Does Fox control this or does the NFL?
Doc Brown Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 All those things you said plus the most powerful and hands on owner in all of the NFL. This year you have the added nobody can turn away from a train wreck element.
sherpa Posted December 6, 2019 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.
