I was a Cowboy's fan as a kid before I ever dreamed of living in Texas. Growing up in St. Louis. I rooted for the old St. Louis football Cardinals and Dallas. Oddly enough they were Division rivals but I didn't care. I just loved all the old time players. My dad wore a fedora so every time I see a picture of Tom Laundry it reminds me of my dad.
Today, I take my sons to one away game every season (last two years have been terrible losses but we enjoy the hell out of ourselves). I'm heavily invested in collectible merchandise and in their winning. Ride or die here - I've grown to enjoy the moment and don't get too caught up in all the BS I have no control over.
I laugh at the idea that somehow Jerry doesn't care about winning but only money. The two go hand in hand. I wouldn't want his bills so I don't mind paying to play when I'm in his house.

^^^that’s my first memory of the Cowboys. We had just moved to the metroplex and my dad took me to see the Saints play the Cowboys December 19th 1982. This was ten months after the Clark end zone catch, the Cowboys had lost the season opener, and clearly still very good but in obvious slight decline. This was the first time I had seen fans of any team with paper bags on their head…and they had a winning season…ended up sneaking into the playoffs and won the wildcard…eventually losing to the Redskins in the Conference Championship. I was blessed to see the greatness of George Rogers that day run wild; plowing over and running past defensive players. Tony Dorsett also had a great game; and the Cowboys won….but the fans were disgruntled and unsatisfied with the direction of the team. This was my first experience with fair weather fans who had enjoyed over a decade of dominance. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-30144-237015-img_8049.jpeg)

I remember the Houston Texans first game as a professional franchise. BFD I remember the Dallas Cowboys first game as a professional Franchase.
GOD is good!

I continue to support those of us who CHOOSE to remind the forum that we've quit watching the nfl-lame due to kneeling and other "woke" garbage.
I know those members who still love pro football love when we choose to constantly remind them.
Addendum: brady is still a cheater, he got caught, and because of that, he is NOT the greatest. Joe Montana is.

They all cheat to some degree. Steroids and PEDs are “banned substances” and every NFL player knows when the testing date is snicker, snicker. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-30144-237026-img_8059.jpeg)

For me it's not about thinking Jerry doesn't care about winning. I'm sure he wants to win. He's just incompetent as a general manager but thinks he's really good at it. More than that, though, he's an arrogant jerk who will do anything or use anyone who gets in his way. The final straw for me was refusing to release Tony Romo after he decided Dak was his quarterback. You want Dak. Great. Play Dak. You get to make that decision.
What you shouldn't do is keep Romo from being able to play somewhere else despite telling him he's not going to get to play for you. Jerry's ego couldn't take a chance on Romo going to Houston or Denver and winning more than in Dallas. The man broke his body for Jerry. He broke his back twice and led a win over the 49ers with a rib puncturing his lung, but that loyalty wasn't repaid by Jerry. Jerry's ego wouldn't allow it, so he forced him into retirement. That's just one more example of Jerry Jones' true character.
I hope the man loses every game the rest of his life. I'll reconsider once that jerk off is gone.

The vast majority of us complain about the Dallas Cowboys football team and it's management. Complaining does nothing but play into the drama craving management's plan. They know drama creates clicks, likes, merch purchases, TV viewership numbers, and season ticket sales.
I am willing to support the Buffalo Bills 100% and abstain from any future Cowboy's threads/discussions.
If we as disgruntled Cowboy's fans continue our same whining/disgruntled ways, we should expect the same results.
I am 100% committed to have zero interest in anything Dallas Cowboys related.
I have chosen the Bills mostly because my roommate at University was from Buffalo and I watched him suffer all those Scott Norwood kicks. His greatest moment of joy was that Oilers game, but the thrill quickly wore off when the Great Jimmy outcoached the also great Marv Levy in the Superbowl.
Choose any team you like (other than the team that will no longer be mentioned). Have fun for once supporting a team with clear coaching authority and focused general management.
Go Bills! Clear coaching authority and GM- has to be the Chiefs

I have chosen the Bills...Go Bills! My sister-in-law is a passionate Bills fan. When I first watched a Bill's game in her Bill's themed basement, just before we sat down for the kickoff, I took off my coat to reveal my Cowboys sweatshirt. As she glared at me, I asked her if Buffalo's area code was still 044? Turns out she's fun to wrestle with...
