"You Can Talk About Deez Nuts": The Cowboys vs The Media Continues To Be The Best Rivalry In Football
They say that attitude reflects leadership. The culture of a sports team is always going to start at the top. If you have great leaders in that building, the rest of the players will all follow. But when the main leader in your organization is Jerry Jones? Well it's no wonder the Dallas Cowboys are a complete and utter shit show at the moment.
This is a man who threatened to have radio hosts fired because he didn't like the questions they were asking. Ol' Jerriatric went full Kim Jong-Un. You never go full Kim Jong-Un. The Cowboys have so many areas of their game they need to focus on correcting right now, but Jerry Jones made it abundantly clear in that building that their main rival right now is the media. So after another loss last night in San Francisco, Trevon Diggs followed suit.
This is apparently the tweet in question that sent Trevon Diggs off the deep end. By all accounts, an incredibly mild tweet at best. WFAA's Mike Leslie was calling into question some rather questionable looking effort by Trevon Diggs on this play. Now maybe Diggs was just slow playing it to make sure Kittle didn't cut back underneath of #29. Questionable effort that may have had a very reasonable answer. But it wasn't some scathing tweet that was completely sewering Diggs' character or anything. Just a run of the mill tweet that Diggs decided to get into his feelings about.
And that's Dallas Cowboys football, baby. Why be upset with losing when you can just channel that frustration off onto the people covering the game? Why focus on cleaning up mistakes that are killing your season when you can just attack the ones who are pointing those mistakes out in the first place?
All things considered, I'm willing to give Trevon Diggs the W in this interaction. Sure, he came off like a pissy little baby who can't handle an ounce of criticism. But hitting this reporter with a "we can talk about Deez Nuts" is the ultimate walk off. That's like bringing a bazooka to a knife fight. Just ends the interaction right then and there, no if's or and's or nuts about it.
