It is really aggravating that the Cowboys let Peter King use them to promote his new website. He has not been a friend of the Cowboys. Click Here for Garrett's comments about Peter King having this access to his speech. It obviously was not Garrett's choice, of course we all know it was Jerry's decision. In the post Garrett tries to be nice and said....."He’s been a great friend to the NFL and a great friend to the
Cowboys for years." All you have to do is read any of King's MMQB articles and you know that simply is not the case. Even in this new inaugural MMQB he lists how many times he talks about individual football teams and he admits that his mention of the Cowboys is second to least of all 32 teams. While the Cowboys have been very mediocre for the past 15 years, they are still America's Team and still garner larger TV ratings than any other team, even when they are 8-8. So for King to barely mention them is just a concerted effort on his part to ignore them. Couple this small number of mentions in his article with the fact that the largest percentage of those Cowboys discussions are always in a negative light.
So with all of that Cowboys Hating History, it's disconcerting that Jerry would "help" Peter King out with this new website. King obviously used the huge interest the Cowboys always brings to kick off the new MMQB.
