a superb 1500 posts of utter nonsesne :D
 
i hope the cowboys re-sign michael irvin, bringing him from retirement and resurrecting a coke-legend, who will then distribute enough coke to his colleagues that the lot of them will be thrown in jail, paving the way for a spectacular giants success next season.

Coming from a Giants fan, of which will forever be in the Cowboys shadow, that's rich. Remember, 5 is greater than 2 (my God, I sound like a Liverpool fan).

Shadow or not, the Cowboys still suck. Now, you aren't at the level of Eagles, but there is no doubt you lot are all going to hell ;).

Not very interesting, but I have stood on the big star in the middle of the Cowboys playing field. I also went into the locker room and some of the executive boxes on a personal tour.

It's a very nice stadium.

He's got a new one, in Arlington, TX, adjacent to the Ballpark in Arlington (actually, naming rights sold recently, it's called something else now) where the Texas Rangers baseball club play. It's reported to cost approximately $650 million. Groundbreaking is next year I believe and to be completed in time for the 2009 season. It will be a start-of-the-art facility (a term used for every new arena/stadia :rolleyes: ).

Cowboys do suck and Parcells is the most overrated coach EVER.

Mind you, when he coached for the Giants he was very good, but he's definately gone downhill, especially in his choice of teams to coach.
The Cowboys would need to improve dramatically to be up to "suck" level.

Did you learn about football through watching the CFL? ;)

I tried, but they weren't on TV all the time. I learnt football watching Dan Fouts, Kellen Winslow, Charlie Joiner, Wes Chandler and (ahem) Chuck Muncie.

Cowboys are certainly in better shape than the Giants and Redskins. Have fun battling out for last place this season.

That's three (3) poxy teams in one sentence - well done. Big ups to the defending AFC West Champions San Diego Chargers! :cool:

Let's see how well that paragraph works after week 12. Oh yea, I also can't stand the Skins, the Iggles, Da Bears, any team from New England, any team from California, or any team from a state that left the Union in 1861 (which doesn't leave many).

It's a hole. One of the worst stadiums I have ever visited.
 
And an the seventh day God said, "Let there be football". And it was good.

Later that day, God said, "Let there be one team to rule the others, to set the standard for excellence." And with that he plucked a star from the heavens and placed it on a helmet of silver and blue.

God said, let them be called ... The Dallas Cowboys!

WHY AMERICA’S TEAM? older article, from 1995 or thereabouts

By RAIDERRED, Cowboysguide.com

The thought occurred to me the other day, why America’s team? After all, Dallas Cowboy fans have been the most spoiled of any other in the NFL. Even before the moniker America’s team was applied. I might add that we fans were not the ones who gave this tag to our own team. See NFL films for that one.
Well before the time of Superbowl Glory, the Cowboys were the media’s darlings. Next year’s champions, they were called. Bridesmaids, lovable losers. Where the Cowboys went, the media followed. Back in the day, the likes of Meredith, Lilly, Hayes, Howley, Jordan, Renfro, Pugh, Andrie, etc., were a colorful cast set against the Wild West backdrop known as Dallas, Texas. For heavens sake, they played in the historical confines of the Cotton Bowl, which has hosted numerous NFL stars to be.

It seems to me anyway, that destiny has been on the Cowboys’ side from the beginning. The love’em or hate’em attitude can be traced back to the inaugural campaign of 1960. That season, they shared the city with the Dallas Texans of the AFL. It was a struggle, to say the least, to put people in the seats. The organization mailed out 200,000 letters to potential season ticket holders. 2,165 accepted the initial offering. Yes, the Cowboys were loved and hated by their own kind. That season, the Cowboys faithful waited till December 4th to taste victory, sort of. A 31-31 tie with The New York Giants. The Love-Hate affair was on. Maybe it was the squeaky clean image of Tom Landry. Maybe it was the innovations that organization contributed to the game, such as computers for scouting purposes. Maybe it is the infamous stadium with the hole in the roof. Whatever the reasons, the Cowboys were destined for success.

The sixties yielded success, but the seventies would put the Cowboys on the Radar to stay. The rivalries with the Redskins, Eagles and Giants, mixed with the 49ers, Rams and Vikings only added to the love –hate relationship. The Cowboys were always a part of the media’s focus pro and con. The media generally are con when it comes to the Cowboys. Look no further than the lack of Cowboys in the Pro football hall of fame. Live with them, but the media just can’t live without them. What other NFL organization can boast the exposure the Dallas Cowboys have had? Even when they are down, the spotlight still glares. The success of the seventies, yielded to the downturn of the eighties. Still, the Cowboys were in sight. The brash new owner and coach along with a number one draft pick got things going again. A 1-15 season was a delight to those who hated the Cowboy way. Still America’s team was poised for its long anticipated return to the big stage. Success still breeds success. Jerry Jones has not settled for second best, when it comes to America’s team.

Once again, the Cowboys stand on the brink of another run to glory. The cast of characters has changed throughout the years, but the results are sure to be the same. Doomsday, Jolly Roger, TooTall,

Too Mean, the Manster blended into the Triplets, the Playmaker and the Kitchen. The newest cast has the makings of something special. Time will tell. Destiny has always been on their side. Why America’s team you ask? Because love’em or hate’em, Sunday afternoon would not be the same without the Dallas Cowboys.
