KXAS in Dallas-Fort Worth delayed breaking into Sunday’s Cowboys’ key divisional matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles for six minutes to issue a tornado warning, riling some viewers who accused the local NBC station of putting football ahead of public safety.

As they should have. Nothing worse than a dumb ass weather delay interrupting whatever it is you’re trying to watch. 
 

Ain’t a soul out there that takes those things seriously anyways 

People with an inkling of intelligence would head warnings of deadly weather events.  You ought to be a Dallas fan.

If it takes having your local tv station notifying you of a storm or whatever coming your way you’re obviously pretty out to lunch as is and doomed for anyways.

It was a tornado watch, not warning. HUGE difference. And it lasted for hours.

And as someone from that area you’ll have  100 watches a year.

Also, there are plenty of outlets to get weather.

But a small banner on the TV while the game is playing would be nice, though maybe there was one.
 

Lastly, I bet the watch was most certainly televised during commercial breaks so about 10,791 times.

The viewers who got riled up because NBC didn’t interrupt the game to tell them about  a watch they already knew about are no doubt ‘passionate about politics’ and age 70+.

It was a warning and an ef 3 actually on the ground.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
