Your never going to try to understand what I was saying to you. You just want to be right.

Just don't caught posting something remotely having to do with the medias or fans opinion as it relates to this cause I'm going to jump all over it

I've never been afraid to be wrong here. So...you're wrong there about me just wanting to be right.

And I did say quote "Yes, individual players can be bothered by what the media says about them. And some cower from it. Others get motivated by it. But at the overall team level, whether Colin Cowherd says we'll go 2-14 or Ross Tucker says we'll go 10-6 is ultimately not a big deal."

That remote enough for you?

But really, do you think our peformance would be better if Cowherd said we'd be better?

Like I said earlier, I don't think you know what you said.

Its hard to post some ideas sometimes. It's hard when there's not this common level of understanding. Well the attempt anyways. I can be as difficult in these discussions too. By just saying the opposite. Too bad there isn't anything more substantial to go by for you to understand or at least for you to begin to understand.

I guess you either think that the media has an impact or it doesn't. It's like this (on the most outrageous level for u to understand) - do you think that what Oprah says doesn't affect or influence others?

[SmootSmack]

Wait, what did Oprah say our record would be?

Seriously though, you going to answer my Cowher question or not?

As for Oprah, we're talking about a different kind of influence.

Whether or not the media has an impact is not the point. The discussion is about whether or not a negative viewpoint by the media has an impact on the play of a team.

And what do you think makes up a team? ...
A group of INDIVIDUALS

and you think that as individuals, if they hear Cowherd prediction they'll play to that level?

My point exactly. The media does have the potential to impact and influence. At least now we are getting somewhere with this.

Don't confuse Oprah saying you should read this book with Colin Cowherd saying I think the Redskins will finish 2-14. Not at all the same thing

It could... remember cowherd has a national presence and also ties with those working in and around the NFL. They are well respected. Might there be a chance that, working with these individuals (maybe even by getting them some help in their media careers or getting them some shine) that he had some influence over them? Highly likely. If these individuals are well respected in the NFL then ...
