So I’d like to take a moment every now and then to give you something different. Obviously I can sit back here and regurgitate NFL facts and headlines for you, but you have Adam Shefter and the NFL Network to do that. That’s not why you come here and read. You’re here for a different opinion, a new outlook, something you can’t get anywhere else. Either that or you’re bored and have ten minutes to waste in your day. So someone struck my nerve today, calling my blog biased.
You couldn't be more wrong.
But unlike many fans, especially NFC East fans, I’m able to put my passion aside to talk football and give you my genuine opinion. I do not hide the fact that I’m a born and raised Cowboys fan. Don’t deny it to my readers, my friends, my family, nobody. But if you want to talk football with me, you better put your passion aside or you’re just going to sound like another fanboy trying to prove a wrong point.
Fanboys are the fans who can’t talk anything else unless they’re praising their own team. “The Eagles are great! Blah blah blah! Kolb! McCoy! Yay!”, No facts or information there, just fanboy crap.
So yes, I rank the Cowboys as the best team in the East, can you really argue with that? I never said they were going 16-0, didn’t say they’d win the Super Bowl, all I say is that at the end of the season, I believe they’re going to win the East. I dare you to come up with some factual evidence that shows otherwise. Is
And for the Philly fan who just got mad at me, you have the worst quarterback in the division in a league that is ran by quarterbacks. Get over it.
Every team has their weaknesses, including the Cowboys. If anything, I’m MORE critical about the Cowboys than anyone else, but Giants fanboy who only wants to hear good things about his team will come around, message me, “nobody wants to hear your biased crap! The G-Men are the team to beat! WOOOOO!”
You’re team crumbled last season and you’re defense sucked.
And I’ve changed my mind, I’ve looked at the facts and movements and wrote about it. I had the Skins at the bottom, they’ve made moves, and I now think they’re third in this tough division. I’m not holier than thou, I can be wrong.
But more time than not, I’m right. And you fanboys hate it.
So I’ll end my rant this week, and will continue with my opinion columns as I need a space to vent to these fanboys. Until then, I encourage you to share my blog with your friends who enjoy talking football, and ask fanboys to know their roles, and shut their mouths.
I'd agree with most of this statement. I feel that you try to put your bias for a team aside as best as possible.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you are a cowboys fan is always going to show through just a little bit regardless of how hard you try.
I think you also just have to understand the writer as well. He's a Cowboys fan, there will probably be more positive things about Cowboys then about other teams.
If you take a look at the Labels for posts, the Redskins have actually received the most coverage. Again probably due to the fact of the writer's location and the abundance of information that is easily obtainable. You could say he's biased towards writing about the Redskins.
Anyhow, I'll applaud you Rob. I've always felt like you write an objective column way more so than subjective opinions.
Thanks Brady, I appreciate the support.
ReplyDeleteAs for the extensive Redskins coverage, Facebook does a pretty good job of telling me who "likes" our fan page, and the majority of the 50 fans are Skins fans, so obviously I bend that way a bit more than the rest.
