I think it's ratings/sales. The perception, perhaps true, is that the country is filled to the brim with Cowboys fans, so they pander to them. I guess there is also a perception that the Redskins are hated by a lot of people so Cowterd and the others are also pandering to that element. They've made Snyder into what Irsay used to be.

The problem is that there is no depth or insight in any of it. There is really nothing that ESPN can tell me about the Redskins that will be news. I am empowered by sites like this to become my own clearinghouse of knowledge and they have been made obsolete. I think this is another reason they hate Snyder. They know that he knows that they are finished. And he is in the forefront of making that happen. You have fans doing their own highlight films. Who would have thought that was possible? Renaldo Wynn does an interview on a fansite. ESPN is never going to interview a backup DL.

But to your point, there is no reason to believe that the Cowboys will be any better than what they have been the last few years.
