GMFB’s Kyle Brandt vows to not cover the Cowboys if nonsense continues

The Dallas Cowboys get a lot of television coverage. Year after year, America’s Team is the most popular franchise in the NFL in terms of fans, social media following, and worth. Despite all of that support, the team hasn’t given those fans all over the world a postseason run to cheer about in many, many years. Their last Super Bowl win was all the way back in 1996, a time when some of our website’s writers weren’t even alive.

But it seems people are getting tired of the endless coverage the Cowboys get. Despite their popularity, the team constantly preaches that it’s one of the most prestigious sports franchises in the world, yet it doesn’t perform that way. Owner Jerry Jones may have the nice facilities and the large wallet, but he hasn’t won a Lombardi Trophy in 26 years.

Good Morning Football’s Kyle Brandt went on a rant on Tuesday saying that he is over the Cowboys franchise. Brandt said he “can’t provide anymore Dallas Cowboys content.” The broadcaster is frankly tired of hearing about how Dallas is an organization with Super Bowl standards with nothing to show for it. To be fair, is he wrong? Brandt laid out these incredibly upsetting stats during his argument:

Since the last time the Cowboys won a Super Bowl…

1. The Panthers have been to two Super Bowls
2. The Jaguars have been to three title games
3. The Jets have been to three title games
4. The Ravens (who weren’t even a franchise the last time Dallas won a Super Bowl) have two Super Bowl titles

Good Morning Football’s Kyle Brandt is tired of constantly covering the Cowboys and doesn’t want to talk about their failing franchise anymore

Brandt tried to make it clear that he’s not against the Cowboys. He doesn’t wish bad on the team. The broadcaster just doesn’t feel this team deserves the extra amount of coverage it gets simply because it’s Dallas. If Jones holds his players and coaches to such a high standard, the team has to perform at that level. Brandt argued that whether you compare the team to a successful or struggling franchise, the Cowboys still don’t match up. Look at the Cincinnati Bengals. They made it happen.

“Does anyone not born and raised in Texas want to hear about the Cowboys anymore? I don’t want to talk about them anymore,” Brandt said. He followed that by saying he wants to take a vow of silence against covering Dallas. Yikes. His fellow broadcasters argued that the ratings are always higher when the team talks about the Cowboys due to their popularity, but Brandt doesn’t seem to care. He thinks doing predominantly Cowboys content is a “tired way of doing football content.”

He said he’d rather talk about popular franchises like the Steelers or the Packers who “actually win.” He has no problem talking about Ben Roethlisberger or Aaron Rodgers because they actually get through the playoffs and make Super Bowls. They don’t sit around and say it’s going to happen and not deliver. He also thinks the GM cares more about hosting the combine than he does winning trophies. Did Kyle wake up on the wrong side of the bed or is he right?

Brandt said he didn’t have his driver’s license the last time the Cowboys even made it to an NFC Championship Game. He ended with this:

"“I don’t wish them ill. I just feel like we should take much more attention and put it to the many other teams, and I know there’s a lot of other people out there that feel the same way.”"
