Why it was so easy to hate the Cowboys

[NJmaverick]

they are a classless bunch. Even with out Pacman and TO they still are an easy bunch to hate. I was at the game. In the third quarter right after the Cowboys scored and tied up the game, they were waiting for the commercial to end. While they were waiting Sam Hurd and some of the other boys started taunting the fans with the make some noise motions. They really enjoyed rubbing it in. Of course right after that the Giants answer those taunts with Jacobs having a roughly 80 catch and run for a TD (Which wade phillips challenged because he didn't like it). So all I can say to Sam Hurd and company- CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? :rofl:

1. because they are hoity-toity and wear purty pastel colors

[BlueJazz]

7. I never cared for them since they self-appointed themselves "America's Team"

[Skittles]

8. I always called 'em South America's Team

[sasquatch]

10. Same here, I have the same reaction to that phrase as Stewart did to Palin's-

"Real Americans" phrase.

[WolverineDG]

24. Actually it was the media that did that not the Cowboys

but don't let the facts get in your way.

The team that did self-appoint itself "America's Team" was any team out of Atlanta while Turner was still in charge of WTBS. But no one whined about that.

27. Lately, I have been refering to them as "Armenia's Team".

Iwant to see them seriously beaten several more times this season, but then I am an Eagles fan, so it comes natural to me.

28. That's why I hate the Yankees, too.

I don't know if they Yanks self-appointed themselves like the Cowboys did, but SOMEBODY did. "America's Team"??? Says who? And, as a consequence, all other teams get less air time, because the networks think everyone wants to see the Yankees and Cowboys.

31. +1,000,000

2. quit gloating, the season ain't over

Dallas is still the division leader, friend.

[NJmaverick]

4. Perhaps but unless the Giants and Cowboys meet in the playoffs

there will be the matter of the season sweep of the Giants over the Cowboys, which is second only to the Giants winning the Super Bowl:P

5. congrats, all the same nt

3. They were so classless to Tom Landry and their new stadium is conspicuous consumption at its

taxpayer-funded worst.

At least taxpayers didn't pay for the Redskins shitty stadium, but they did pay for the Ravens' stadium, and the Steelers, and the Cowboys...

[sasquatch]

9. Yeah, but the Steelers and Ravens have real football stadiums

Not a monument to their owner's ego.

[Captain Hilts]

13. Football stadiums, because they are used so rarely, are a complete waste. And Art Modell

got an amazing tax-payer subsidized deal in reference to revenue for parking, etc.

But there was always an economic reason football teams played in baseball stadiums, not the other way around.

And the citizens of Pittsburgh and Philly voted against the construction of the stadiums and they were built anyway.

[NJmaverick]

14. Giants staduim hosts at 16 regular season games a year, 4 preseason

some play off games, some college games, a score of concerts and has even hosted shopping events. Not all football stadiums go unused.

[Captain Hilts]

17. Baseball stadiums have 80 games plus those events. Ravens stadium, being right by

Camden Yards, sits idle a great deal. A waste.

[NJmaverick]

18. I'll admit that Giants stadium is the exception to the rule

still I would imagine most stadiums could be used for concerts and other events requiring large facilities and plenty of parking.

[Captain Hilts]

19. Yes, I think the Meadowlands IS the exception because of its location and the absence

of a baseball stadium right next door as in Balt., Philly and Pittsburgh, and Cleveland I think.

But football stadiums just don't pay off. There are not enough Springsteen concerts and tractor competitions to make most work.

[joeybee12]

25. Yeah, never a Crimeboys fan, but they treated Tom like s**t at the end...n/t

[Captain Hilts]

29. Landry noted that he was feted better in DC, and he was. nt

[arcadian]

6. intellectual dishonesty

[NJmaverick]

15. Hey did you see my post with the 10 rules for intellectual honesty has garnered 32 recs?

isn't it great that the concept of intellectual honesty is gaining traction?

[arcadian]

23. Yeah! Where'd ya get those?

The internet. :-(

[NJmaverick]

26. It's up to 50 recs you have to be happy about that

:D :hi:

[madinmaryland]

38. BWAHAHAHA!!! Calling out someone!!

:rofl:

[peekaloo]

11. Robert DeNiro responds: I got two words for you

Jerry Mutha fucka Jones.

[NJmaverick]

21. I would have to think Jerrah has been a double edged sword for Cowboy fans

he has certainly improved cash flow and kept the team in the headlines. However I have to think the football purists would be unhappy with his unqualified meddling in team operations.

[taterguy]

12. I hate them for their reliance on computers instead of guts and instinct

That's why I hated them in the 70s.

The fact that every person on the planet including myself now relies on computers now hasn't changed my position.

[madinmaryland]

16. Uhmmm...

[NJmaverick]

20. Hey did you happen to see this thread?

Don't worry we'll pick on Midlo when she roots for the Giants over the Eagles.

[edbermac]

22. Two reasons not to hate the Cowboys.

Just turn down the volume and relax.

[Faygo Kid]

30. Hosted a great guy and his partner for Thanksgiving. Except he was a Cowboy fan (yuck).

Lifelong Lions' fan here, since the first season I can remember (1962). Yeah, I know. Anyway, great to host **** and *** for a fine Thanksgiving. ***** cooked up a storm, even with all that wine that *** brought. She's one fine woman.

[MrSlayer]

32. It's time for the annual December collapse.

Enjoy it. I do every year.

[baldguy]

34. If the NY Yankees played football, they'd have to wear blue stars.

[AsahinaKimi]

35. "America's team"

That term used by the team, the media or their fans is so damned arrogant and so thats a huge reason. Plus, for years they knocked the 49ers out of the playoffs..."The Catch" and a few Superbowls, was our vindication! I love it any time the 49ers beat the cowboys.

[MrScorpio]

36. I have two favorite teams... The Detroit Lions

And ANYONE who plays the Dallas Fucking Cowboys

[Zomby Woof]

42. This lifelong Chargers fan...

Welcomes you into Bolts fandom this Sunday when we add the Phallus Cowhumpers to our NFC East casualty list (we already helped the Giants and the Eagles add games to their "L" column, and the 'Skins are waiting for their defeat January 3).

[jobycom]

37. You think other teams act differently? You haven't been around.

The Giants's Jacobs did a dance on the Cowboy's star after the first game--that was class?

Puhleese. Athletes are spoiled babies, by and large. They get rich playing a game, they are used to being worshipped, and they grow up expecting the world to let them get away with anything because generally the world does let them get away with everything.

[madinmaryland]

39. It really is funny to see how green with envy the Cowboy haters are of the

Dallas Cowboys franchise.

Just too funny!

40. You heard what happened when Eli Manning died and went to Heaven, didn't you?

God met him personally, and brought him to his house. "Not many people get a house up here," God told him. "You should feel special."

It was a cute little cottage with a white picket fence, and a New York Giants banner flying from a pole on the roof. Eli smiled, and said "Thank you, God."

But as they were walking away, Eli spotted another house. It was a mansion. 10,000 square feet if it was one. The fence was wrought iron, and each post was tipped with a Cowboys helmet. In each window hung a Cowboys banner, and the largest flag Eli had ever seen flew over the roof of the house--a blue and silver Cowboy's flag.

"Wait a minute," Eli said. "Just wait. Why does Tony Romo deserve a house that big?"

"Oh, that's not Tony Romo's house," said God. "That's my house."
