Americas Team My Behonkus!

Your from Texas?

They're getting ready to come on the TV here in awhile. I will tune in to watch them. But I will be rooting against the team with the star on their helmet. I cannot stand the star or anything it represents. They market themselves as "Americas Team" so that rules me out having to like them because I'm from Texas. Wow the memories of loving to hate the Dallas Cowboys. Where to start? How about when I was just a young lad and influenced by the difference between right and wrong? I chose right! LOL!

 

Breeding hate in the hood!

I love to hate the Dallas Cowboys. It was bred into me from an early age. My Dad did not like Tom Landry because he would not go across the field to shake hands with the opposing coaches. How rude I thought and the hate began to take shape. All the kids in the neighborhood were Cowboy fans following in there Dads footsteps I guess. You see Dallas existed before the Houston Oilers did so naturally there were more Dads rooting for them and getting their sons to follow their misunderstood ways. Also the Oilers were not winning at the time. Most kids like winners and just get on the bandwagon. Well I did too but I liked to root for an underdog to win and steer clear of the bandwagon. I mean Houston is an hour and a half away from my hometown in Southeast Texas. Can you say hometown team? Oil is what makes our area what it is. A name to be proud of as well. So I was an Oiler and a damn proud one to boot! And you always go for the home team right? What was wrong with all the bandwagon jumpers in my hood? And the Cowboys continued to win and the cockiness grew with the team and with my friends. Ha Ha. What happened to your Oilers? The Boys won! I hate that word used in that context to this day! "The Boys". Yea The Boys my derriere!

Dallas Cowboy Hating 101

• Me and my ex wife on our knees in front of the TV in praying position hands clasped and summoning the powers of the Good Lord above to please let the team that does not have a star on its helmet to make the field goal to win the game. They make it! Tears of joy are streaming down our faces, The Cowboys have lost. Flash forward one year. Same scenario but the field goal is wide right. The Cowboys have won the game as my remote control sails across the living room embedding itself in the sheet rock. Oh well a picture will look good hanging there. A picture that says I hate the Dallas Cowboys!
• I refuse to draft any Dallas Cowboy player onto my fantasy football roster. I don't care if it means the difference between me winning or losing the championship. I would rather pay the money than sacrifice my values.
• I look forward to watching the Cowboys play every week so I can root against them. I actually plan "Hater" parties at my house!
• In order to keep friends that are Cowboy fans you have to learn to be quiet and not rub it in too hard. They cannot take it. They were bred to expect to win. Most Cowboy fans are stuck in the 90's and have no idea how long a dry spell the Cowboys are in right now! I love saying that!
• When someone says "How 'bout them Cowboys"! I cringe and make this facial expression that cries regurgitation!
• Use the word Cowpukes as often as you can.

Americas Team? ROTFLMAO!

They bought the title of Americas Team! They did not earn it. It was not coined by some great name in the annals of pro football history other than the Cowboys front office. Paid for it! Just like a logo. Read the history here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America%27s_Team

Everywhere I traveled to nobody could stand "Americas Team"!

And everyone would say the same thing. I thought all people from Texas like the Cowboys?....Uh....NOOOOOO!!!

But Double D.....

But Double D isn't there anything at all that you like about the Dallas Cowboys? Well....now that you mention it there is this one thing that they got going on for them...





I Love my Football

I hope this blog post did not offend anyone in any way. Football is "Americas Game" and your hometown team is "Americas Team". I love the game and everything that goes with it. Good friends, good times, good food, and making memories. Even memories of Dallas losing! Good natured ribbing and post like this give me something to do! I love all my friends, even the Cowboy fans. Just know this: I will always be around to try and make you see the evil of your ways and to wipe your tears dry when they lose. Which I hope will be quite often!
