The Dallas Cowboys are a little ol' team in the NFL from (you guessed it) Dallas, Texas. It seems unfair to be a fan of a team that's won 5 Super Bowls, is the most valuable franchise in America (2nd in the Universe, folks), often goes by the nickname "America' Team", and is known for doing a lot of fucking drugs; but I manage. I really don't understand why people have anything against some good ol' boys just having a good time. But people hate teams that win, and that's a fact (but I hate the Yankees because they suck). Then again, it's also hard to be a fan of a team that hasn't won a playoff game since 1996. So, I think it's time for people to lay off the hate and shut the fuck up. I'm talking to you, Richard Justice.RATING: 100%
PS - I expect Viking Andrew to follow-up with a second review of the Cowboys (but don't forget to link mine!).

I was always shocked at the amount of hatred from sports columnists/radio hosts in Houston toward the Cowboys.
Bob Sturm has put together a ranking system for NFL franchises. It's really interesting, and puts to end the old debate of Cowboys v. Steelers v. Packers v. any other bullshit team (New York, I'm looking at you):
Full disclosure: Sturm lives in Dallas and is on a Sports Radio show here, but he was raised in Wisconsin and has a Packers tattoo, etc.
Great post, Chris. Now if only Romo would pull his head out of his ass long enough to win a Playoff game.
Also, Jerry Jones says some confusing stuff . About halfway through the audio link...
I think it's about time for Derek Jeter to knock you in the head with a home run ball. He could do it, you know. Hit you way down there in Texas all the way from the Bronx.
Things like this almost make me forget My Incident.
For the record as a life long Giants fan the Cowboys suck ass.
That's true, Dirk. While the Cowboys hold records for most consecutive winning searsons, most post-season appearances, most post-season wins, most divisional titles, most appearances in the NFC Championship and most appearances in the Super Bowl, they still do, in fact, "suck ass."
I said be nice to my friend!
Dirk could you please put in your two cents on the cartoon? Having an actual black man comment will lend much needed credibility to our little operation here.
Sorry, Dirk. With Internet John not around, it just feels weird to have a new commenter not get abused. Please, no harm intended.
So Dirk, I hear you're from White Plains?
No way, Dirk is from right here in the Heights. Just like the Cosbys.
I felt so lied to when I discovered the Cosby's brownstone near my old job in the west village. All those years, I believed.
I’m a middle child I love the abuse reminds me of my painful childhood. I did live in Mount Vernon for a sec, which I guess is close to White Plains and Yonkers, but I’m a Brooklynite. As for the Cowboys while I do suppose as a historical matter the statistics you quote may be true, and history is certainly important, they have done exactly…. NOTHING recently besides spawn a nifty HBO show. So suffice it to say I will sheath myself in the glory of the very recent Giants Superbowl victory and allow you to tune into Hard Knocks while wistfully hoping that a team that has failed to win a playoff game in what must now be close to a decade will someday regain a modicum of its past glory.
I would just like to point out that Dirk actually talks like this in person, using funny words like "sheath" and "spawn." It makes me laugh.
And I have no doubt they will, Dirk.
I'm reminded of the 1970s when they won 5 NFC championships and 2 Super Bowls, and the 90s when they won 3 NFC Championships and 3 Super Bowls. The 80s were tough, but I think it's fair to say the 90s made up for it.
But I think people despise the Cowboys because they embody America and football. And everyone else wishes their team did.
C’mon Laur everyone uses “sheath” in fact just the other day when I got into a duel on Atlantic Avenue I had to tell this Hasidic gentleman to sheath his sword before I run him through. I would like to attribute the diction to a partial education in England or a desire to be a writer one day, but in all likelihood I’m just a pretentious douche (hence law school so I can engage in intellectual snobbery and one day crush the little man under my heel). I love it Chris, you boys clearly know your football and your traumatizing me by bringing up many of the beatings the Giants took in my formative years at the hands of the Cowboys. I think you guys may have run me off now, I suppose I should have known better than to pick a football fight with Texans. Anyways confidence is good but I’ll hang onto my doubts regarding “America’s Team” regaining any of its past glory.
Dirk, you're making this tough.
I'm glad the Giants won last season. At least the Cowboys lost to the soon-to-be Champs and the Pats lost too.
