Cowboys Legend Speaks Out After NFL Community's "Boycott" Scandal Upon Confirming Pre-Super Bowl LX Broadcast Commentary Role – The Reason Behind It Sparks Outrage from the Cowboys Community

Dallas, Texas

Dallas Cowboys legend Jason Garrett has found himself in the middle of an unexpected controversy, just days before Super Bowl LX. The three-time Super Bowl champion and longtime NFL analyst confirmed his role on the pre-Super Bowl broadcast commentary team — a position that has surprisingly drawn calls for a boycott from some voices in the wider NFL community.

Garrett, revered as a key player in the Cowboys' dynasty of the 1990s (winning Super Bowls XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX) and former head coach, has built a respected media career with NBC Sports, providing sharp insights on strategy and leadership.

But this time, his spot on the Super Bowl LX pregame broadcast roster was met with backlash — not because of his credentials, but because certain NFL commentary circles objected to his presence on such a high-profile platform, claiming the lineup should remain “exclusive” or arguing his coaching tenure with the Cowboys disqualifies him from neutral analysis. Critics suggested retired coaches/players like him shouldn’t get prime slots without more "impartial" media experience, even though no official league boycott was announced.

Cowboys fans, however, were both surprised and outraged by the reaction.

In an exclusive statement addressing the controversy, Garrett said: “I’ve been fortunate to experience the highs of this game — on the field as a champion and now in the booth. I’m stepping into this role because I love football, and I want to help fans break down every nuance of the sport we all cherish. I wear my Cowboys legacy with pride, and nothing about this changes that. I’m here to celebrate the game, to bring its stories — especially grit, heart, and competition — to life.”

Instead of quieting the criticism, Garrett’s words ignited a fierce response from the Cowboys community — a passionate fan base known for its America's Team pride. On social platforms, hashtags emerged in defense of the legend, decrying what they see as unfair treatment from voices outside Dallas. Many fans argue Garrett deserves the platform given his deep insights into winning football, leadership, and the Cowboys' storied history.

“What’s unbelievable isn’t that Jason’s commentating — it’s that anyone would question him.” one fan wrote online. “He’s earned every second on TV with real championship experience, not hot takes.”

Critics outside Cowboys Nation had suggested that former coaches shouldn’t be offered such visibility without building a purely media resume first, but Cowboys fans saw the uproar as symptomatic of outdated attitudes that don’t appreciate the football minds that legends like Garrett bring to the table.

As Super Bowl LX approaches (Seahawks vs Patriots), the debate continues — but one thing is clear: Cowboys Nation is standing strongly behind Jason Garrett, letting the broader football world know that their legend’s voice belongs in the biggest conversations of the season.

BREAKING: 2x Pro Bowl Superstar – Once Compared to Legend "Terrell Davis" – Announces He Won’t Return to Houston After Drama with the Team – The Real Reason Surprises Fans
Houston, Texas – Joe Mixon, the two-time Pro Bowl running back for the Houston Texans, has officially announced he will not return to the team after changes in the roster and coaching staff. This decision not only reflects a shift in the long-term plans of the Texans but also marks a significant turning point in Mixon’s career. Mixon joined the Texans in 2024 and quickly won over fans with his powerful running and impressive receiving abilities. During the 2025 season, he played a pivotal role in helping the team reach the playoffs, creating memorable moments with his teammates. However, after the coaching change with Mike McCarthy, Mixon realized his playing style no longer aligned with the team’s vision for the future. “When I found out I was no longer in the team’s plans, I felt disappointed and disheartened. I gave everything I had for this team, but sometimes, change is inevitable. While I can’t continue playing under the team’s colors, I will always cherish every moment I spent as part of the Texans. I will always remember Houston and the fans here.” These emotional words from Mixon reflect his decision to move on to the next chapter of his career. While Mixon’s departure is a big loss for the Texans, fans understand that such decisions are necessary for the team’s long-term growth. After Mixon leaves, Texans will need to find a player who can replace his role in the offense. Damien Pierce, a promising young talent, could be the ideal replacement for Mixon, as he has shown impressive running abilities in the past season. However, no one can deny that Joe Mixon played a crucial role in the Texans’ offensive success. Mixon’s decision not to return also underscores his desire to keep the great memories he built at Houston. He shares that staying with the team no longer fits his goals, and he wants to preserve the positive experiences he had with both the team and its fans. “Houston will always be the place I call home. No matter where I go, I will always remember the great moments with you all. Thank you for always being there for me,” Mixon says. As for the Texans, while this is a challenge, it also presents an opportunity for the team to rebuild its offense and continue to compete in the AFC. After Mixon’s departure, the team will need to strengthen its attack to stay competitive in the league. Now, Mixon is looking forward to a new chapter in his career, with the goal of joining a team with championship aspirations. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a strong team with a solid offensive foundation, is the destination Mixon is eyeing. With fresh expectations and motivation, he believes this is where he can continue to grow and achieve the success he has longed for. Though Mixon will no longer wear the Texans colors, his contributions over the years will always be remembered by fans. These are memories that will never be forgotten, and no matter where he goes, Houston fans will always wish him the best in his next journey.
