well dallas gets a knock right off the bat with whoever claimed them to be 'america's team'. you know every other team in the NFL hates that label, correct? and when people say they have a nation of fans it's true........all bandwagon. how does someone growing up in ohio or ny become a dallas fan? the same way they do growing up to be a stooler fan. they are kids and they like the super bowl champs and proclaim them as their team. no loyalty to city or state. just the aura of a super bowl winner. i'm surprised half the fans have hung on as long as they have going through the??th years of not making it to the playoffs.
BUT yes as a rivalry i remember as a kid 40 some odd years ago the fans of the redskins dressed up with the snout-nosed women and one fan (a black guy....can i say that? lol) dressed up in a redskin colored velvet one-piece with beads and a hat and when dallas came into washington the shit went off the hook.
but that's when football was football. not this pussy assed shit we're seeing nowadays.
and jerrah must suck a mean cock to have the lifelong contract for thanksgiving day football. what a scam. them and detroit. who gives them the right?

Oh stop it, you sound silly. Best rivalry in football. NFC Beast should never be touched. Oh and Cowboys belong on Thanksgiving and will always be Americas Team.
Why don't you ask America if the cowboys are America's team? I seem to recall a poll and the only state that agreed with the cowboys being Americas team was Texas.

The traditional Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit has been a tradition since like 1934. Glomming on to that....and knowing that USA football fans wanted more NFL on Turkey Day, the Cowboys took up the tradition of having a second game. The Lions game ended at like 3:00 pm, and fans wanted more than just a college game.
I believe, actually, that Texas and Texas A&M played frequently on T-Day.
Now, I believe we have retained the "traditional" Detroit and Dallas Thanksgiving Day games and have added a third at night, which moves around to various cities.

My first memory of the Cowboys, i must have been 8 or younger. They were playing the Redskins and my dad (insane Cowboy fan), asked if i wanted to double my money. He owned me like 18 bucks from doing house choirs. All i had to do was go for the Skins. I was greedy and agreed. Well, Dallas won and i remember crying afterwards. He said, that’s was you get for going against the Cowboys.
I feel you. I, too, have cried a few times after gambling...

POP QUIZ: How many times have the Browns played on Thanksgiving Day?

Crap. Too bad the Browns didn't trade their draft for this
franchise qb who would have taken them to the superbowl
all by himself.
ha.

Once again it proves foolish to trade away draft picks for one player.
May go down as one of the worst draft day trades in the history of the NFL. Wow, did the Browns dodge a bullet. I said at the time it was crazy to give up that much for one player.

I've always said the Cowboys are South America's team. Everyone outside of Texas hates that label with a passion.
Regarding the Redskins rivalry. Jerry should have let it go. By all rights, the Cowboys should be in the NFC South, or West. The Browns gave up a heated rivalry with the Giants (Jim Brown vs Sam Huff was legendary) when they switched conferences. BTW, MHO is the Ravens belong in the AFC East.

I agree, the bills make far more sense as an AFCN team than the Ravens do.BTW, MHO is the Ravens belong in the AFC East.

Better: put the Ravens in the NFC East, the Colts in the AFCN, and the Cowboys in the AFCS....with the Texans.
Or if you don't want teams switching confereces: Ravens to AFCE, Miami to AFCS, Colts to AFCN

The divisions are not going to be realigned anytime soon so i dont see the point in talking about it.
You can call the Cowboys whatever you want, its doesn’t change the facts. Dallas has a huge following and is worth over 4 Billion. Cowboy games are always the highest rated. Love em or hate em, people watch. The Cowboys/Redskin game this season was Monday nights highest rated game since 2009. People love the star on the helmet.
People like the tits and ass that come with your cheerleaders. That is what originally got the Cowboys a big following in the 70s, plus they won some.. If you cannot figure that out, you are a eunuch.

Well, whadya expect for Weeden v. McCoy?

Beautiful women in snowsuits, great idea. I'll just stick to watching porn on my phone while the game is on.

HA!

Id trade the Ravens to the AFCE and take the Bills. It would be a great turnpike rivalry between 2 similar cities. Indy? eh, not as much.
-
On the evening after the first round, exactly zero of us thought that Phil Taylor would have a longer, more productive, more consistent career than RG3..

And, of course, Huff finished his career with the 'Skins...

There comes a point in injury-plagued guys careers that they start playing not to get hurt as opposed to just playing naturally. It's completely understandable but it's clear to me RGII is at that point in his career. Talent wise you can see why people were salivating over the dude, but I'm glad we dodged the bullet there.

RG3 The gift that keeps on giving. I was critical of Holmgren when the Browns passed on RG3. But Thank God they had the foresight not to mortgage the team for this egomaniac. In retrospect I was just jealous that the Colts got Andrew Luck, the Skins got RG3 and we got Brandon Weeden. But hindsight is twenty-twenty and we got off easy whereas the Redskins will be regretting this move more than Ditka's folly with Ricky Williams.
He's a coach killer for sure and can't stay healthy. Maybe it's time to admit that the zone read system is also a qb killer.

+1 Would love to swap the Bills for the Ratbirds!

Yeah... those of us that said, "no thank you," due to durability concerns aren't looking so bad now. A group led by the Colts' brain trust by the way...
The surprise to me are the character issues arising. Folks convincingly posted here about his "military family discipline", humility and "clear leadership qualities". Even more than the injuries, these issues now look to be propelling his undoing.
Loved Gruden's message... We shall see if it got through.
