Did anyone else see the Monday Night NFL game where they said that Dallas would be in the playoffs?

If the playoffs started today, ATLANTA, NOT DALLAS, would be in the playoffs. ESPN and FOX showed the playoff picture if it were to start today, and Dallas was on the outside looking in. ATL and DAL have the same record, but ATL would get in b/c of schedule strength. I'm not saying that ATL will make the playoffs, but I think that's just a dumb media move by the sports network (NBC) to showcase Dallas (as if they needed more attention). It's not a big deal, but I just don't understand why this network would say Dallas is in when ATL would be in, not the Cowboys. Is it that bad to show that 3 NFCSouth teams would be in, and only one NFCEast team would make it? Does it hurt the media's feelings that bad to have missed the projections that much that Dallas wouldn't even be in the playoffs right now? I know "everybody likes the Cowboys", but the media needs to get over teh love affair of these "America's Teams" (Cowboys, Yankees, Lakers,etc.), because their fans consist of true fans, uninformed sports fans that only root for popular teams, and media favorites because of the drama. ENOUGH WITH THE LOVE AFFAIR WITH THE COWBOYS!!!! According to the media, they should be undefeated, win every Super Bowl, fix the economy, and find the cure for cancer! Anyone else feel this way?
