Majority of the Dallas Cowboys roster pulled a disappearing act on Monday, bailing on their mandatory media availability just one day after an absolutely brutal home loss to the Arizona Cardinals. This wasn’t just some regular L, folks. It was an embarrassing home defeat to a two-win team, marking the first time in franchise history the Cowboys have blown a 14-point lead at home. Yeah, that’s right, *first time ever*.
The Locker Room Silence Was Deafening
The media covering the team showed up for their scheduled availability only to find an empty locker room. Jon Machota of The Athletic laid it out, saying, “The Cowboys just had locker room availability, but majority of roster left the facility before we got in there. No players were interviewed. Can’t say I remember that happening before.” You just don’t see this kind of thing. Teams have a basic weekly obligation to make players available in the locker room, and Dallas just flat out skipped it. What a look, seriously.
An Explanation, But Does It Even Matter?
Now, there’s always an explanation, isn’t there? Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News reported that “player programs ended earlier than scheduled, which is why the locker room was almost empty during media availability.” An “earlier than scheduled” end to player programs? Call me skeptical. After blowing a 14-point lead at home, against a Cardinals team that inexplicably owns them in recent years and has never lost at AT&T Stadium, it’s pretty clear few were actually inclined to say anything about Sunday’s game. This whole situation just screams “we don’t want to talk about it” after a historic collapse.
