Dreadful officiating in this game, all of which seemed to go in Seattle's favor. Seahawks are getting a lot of big breaks this year.

the one call i thought was botched AND consequential was the two time outs in a row call

by stopping the clock to let Pete Carrol know he couldn't call two time outs in a row, they effectively gave the Seahawks two time outs in a row and let the 12th guy get off the field

Afterward Dez goes on an F bomb tirade towards reporters lol. He's such a class act...not!!!

Wouldn't you when the media manipulated the story to make it look like he was happy about the Lockette injury?

Just like they've manipulated plenty of other Bryant stories.

Dude has a ton of emotion and sometimes has a problem keeping it in-check. Of course if this is Peyton Manning or Tom Brady it's "passion."

That was very scary. Didn't appear to be moving at all for a long time. Thankfully when they carted him off he was moving his arms and communicating.

Report is he is having season ending neck surgury:

Just a follow-up to this play. This dude is a class act!

After being released from the hospital after neck surgery, Lockette had his driver swing through a McDonald’s, where he bought 100 cheeseburgers, and then went back to pass them out. His parents were with him, and his father confirmed the story.

This is one of the few times I will defend a dez media spat. most of the time dez brings it on himself like he did yesterday. he has gotten too sensitive with the media and social media in general going back to last year with his contract dispute. it's not only losing and winning they won a lot last year and he had several confrontations with the media over what they wrote about him. he has a deep issue with reporters who make stories about him that are false which clearly they have done at times, but at times they have just reported the truth as well and sometimes the truth does hurt. the latest guy called out dez for not talking to the media after the philly game and that is what set dez off today.

the seattle issue was one of these times where dez gets the negative side. if anything Michael Bennett was the one being a jerk and tried to start a skirmish during the injury timeout because he was mad that Jason garrett didn't come onto the field? so he goes after one of the classiest coaches in the game, but the report is all about dez disrespecting an injured player. I see why he got mad.

I think all of the negative reports about him over the years has really gotten to him to the point that he doesn't trust the media at all. but the dude clearly has to take some of the blame too. it is a two way street. what I don't like is the media almost always gets a pass and they can pretty much write or say whatever they want and then hunker down and stick together when someone attacks them back. jean jaqes taylor is probably one of the most cry baby cowboys beat writers I've ever seen, but at the end of the day dez needs to let it go and be a professional.

haha they need that 12th man on the road too...

yeah that was the one that hurts because it should be a 5 yard penalty and dallas with a first down going to the end zone. maybe they win the game, or maybe they kick the field goal and lose anyway. this cowboys team knows how to lose games so in hindsight I can't really say that was all that big of a deal. just sucks to see pete carroll over there chewing gum and getting that call because he's an idiot.
