a rare post about the national football league
i don't care that tony romo is apparently the greatest young quarterback in the history of mankind.
i don't care that bill parcells is a "genius."
i don't care that the cowboys are planning on building a new ka-zillion dollar stadium to replace the awful concrete tent they've been calling home for the past 200 years.
i don't care that the cowboys are again relevant.
i am an american.
what does any of this have to do with anything, you ask?
easy. the dallas cowboys are NOT nor have they EVER been "america's team." just because they are having some success again doesn't mean that they (or the media) can throw around that ridiculous moniker again. they need to knock off the foolishness and go back to the lovely obscurity they had earned over the last few years.
man, i hate the cowboys.
sidenote: to the kansas city chiefs - just stop it. if you don't want to go to the playoffs, that's fine. but do us a favor and stop giving us a reason to cheer. don't finish 7th in the league. that is just not right. finish last or something. well, second to last anyway...i like where the raiders are right now. cheers

Here here! Like you, I am not a huge NFL fan, but I can't stand the whole "America's Team" rhetoric. I remember Jeff McCord once dropping that line over at the feedlot as if it was a stone fact rather than his own Texas opinion. That like calling Nickleback or Train, "America's Band."
Isn't Nickleback a canadian band?
good catch, fletchie.
we will miss you, Lamar. Say hi to Ewing for me...
Canadian or not the analogy still works in my book.
I think it's more apt to call the New England "America's Team". At least it's a bit more apropos.
In a semi-unrelated note, have you seen the Samuel Adams commercial where the lady says 'I can't even drink domestic beer anymore' and her friend reminds her 'This *is* domestic beer.' To which the first gal responds, 'You know what I mean.' Well, that's kind-of like this discussion, but not quite.
I think my blood sugar's low; time to go eat lunch at 2:30pm...
