Stupidest thing you've done in anger over a Cowboys game?

[The30YardSlant]

In the 4th quarter of the 1998 playoff humiliation to Arizona, I threw the remote through a plate-glass window. Father was not pleased, to say the least...

[Muhast]

punched the wall, made a whole in the wall, fractured my hand.

fun stuff, paying for the stuff to fix the wall, then x rays and then the medical thing

[theogt]

Threw my wife into oncoming traffic. Wait, was that Cowboys related?

[TheKey]

About the same, I threw the remote in the Seattle game when I thought we had let Old Man Rice beat us before the onsides kick and it broke the remote and took the paint off the wall, not too bad though. Felt like a heel when we won. After the skins game last year after the hail marys i didnt fall asleep until 530 i was so upset.

[jksmith269]

I wouldn't say this was stupid, but the second time we played Buffalo in the SB there was a woman at my house on base who kept running her mouth during the first half pulling for the Bills. I kept telling her to shut up and she didnt so I ordie taped her to a chair and sat her outside taped to the chair for the third and part of the 4th Qt....

[The30YardSlant]

Not Cowboys related, but back in 2004 when Baylor beat Texas A&M, my goofy Baylor buddy that rode to the game with me ran off to help carry the goal posts out of Floyd Casey.

I left him in Waco

[RealCowboyfan]

Got mad and kick the china cabinet and it came down. Glass was every where. Cowboys lost to 49ers in the championship game in 1994.:bang2: :bang2: :bang2: :bang2: :bang2:

[DragonCowboy]

I think I just didn't talk to anyone for a week.

[JackMagist]

Never did anything really stupid except PO the ole lady (she gets over it). I just go into the other room away from everyone else and wait it out. The family I think has finally learned to just leave me alone.

But I DO NOT want to telk about it.

[EGG]

I took out my ceiling light fixture while attempting to spike a coach pillow,,, it was a looong sweeping arch like the ones you see when they spike footballs in the endzone,,, it's a good thing I don't have guns handy during the games,,,, :shoot1:

After Thanksgiving in 1993 ("Leave it alone Leon") my grandad went outside, got his 12 gauge, and put 3 shots into a large oak tree on his backyard. The neighbors were like "***"?

This is a man, mind you, who would have little to no reaction if he lost his leg in a wood chipper

[SupermanXx]

I kicked my beautiful girlfriend out after the Redskins beat us in Week 2 last season... (she came over to watch the game with me)

it was the worst because 1) it wasn't her fault, 2) I loved her so much and should not have done that and 3) it was basically the beginning of the end for us and our 3.5 year relationship, and I still miss her.

Hate to break it to ya, but that wasnt why it ended. According to her, you were an "overzealous, pompous......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Pittsburgh/Dallas. Superbowl. Older brother was a Stealer fan. We lost. Older brother got his toothbrush swished around in the toilet. Never told him. HA!!
Wasn't stupid by any stretch. Needed done.

[sacase]

I was in 10th grade so that was about 1990. I had dislocated my shoulder about 7 times playing football that year so the tendons were really stretched out. I was laying on the couch watching the game (can't remember which) and we scored a TD. I jumped off the couch yelling and screaming and through my should out of socket. Now normally it would go back in, but it just wouldn't I stayed to finish the game before I went to the hospital where they told me I had to have surgery on it the following day.

[Hostile]

I've told this story before.

I was in college and working at night in a sporting goods store. I had 3 co-workers who were all HS buddies. Chris was a Bills fan. Andy a Packers fan, and Marc a 49ers fan. When they learned I was a Cowboys fan they were beyond obnoxious for a while. Marc in particular was.

Before XXVIII we had to go through the 49ers and Marc was talking it bad. Some lady (49ers fan) came in the store and was bashing me as a Cowboys fan (Emmitt jersey) and Marc jumped in. She paid and left but Marc didn't stop.

When it came time to make a bet Marc wanted it to be a "bust in the chops." Winner got to hit the loser right in the mouth. Chris and Andy loved the idea. I was so mad at Marc (I do like him) that I agreed to the bet. If Dallas had lost he would have got to hit me right in the mouth. Stupid thing to bet, but I was mad.

Luckily Dallas won and I hit Marc right in the mouth. I offered the same bet to Chris and he declined. I guess I hit Marc too hard.

[DallasDW00ds0n]

cortez missed ANOTHER kick against seattle and i was driving on the Jersey Turnpike (listening to the game on the radio) i punched the ceiling in the car which ripped the cushion then punched the console and that punch left a permanent dent; you can see where my knuckles hit lol.

[MC KAos]

cowboys related:i threw my cell phone on the floor at my gf's house and it broke during the panthers/cowboys game last year, then after i got mad at cundiff for missing the kick (which he got a running into the kicker call thank god!!)i threw a pillow and it hit my GF's uncle in the face!!! haha, it was funny, cuz he was cheering against the cowboys. but anyway we won so i was happy.

but as far as dumbest thing ive ever done, during the 2005 nba playoffs, the spurs were beating the nuggets in the first game of that series and then in the fourth quarter we just couldnt do anything right, we ended up loosing that game, and i was so pissed it punched my lap top screen and shattered it, im still mad i did that!! but luckily we won the championship that year

That is almost a girly response.

Here is what you should write to get back into the men's club according to Maxim Magazine:

a) the ,,,,, didn't support me and the Cowboys so I kicked her sorry ,,,,,,, to the curb:

b) I can do better than that skank and already have tenfold:

c) if I want her back, all I have to do is say the word, she is begging me to take her back.

Everytime I go to California, I always have these huge arguments with the Californians there...and they say some of the stupidest things. Ok, here are their gems (and remember, I'm from Texas).

"Atleast WE border Mexico."

"Atleast WE have a Jamba Juice." - we had one about 2 miles away from our house...

Grr, they're so annoying...

[TD22]

threw my beer glass at the television screen at a sports bar during the 1994 championship game vs 49ers...i was told to leave!!!!! GO COWBOYS!!!!!!

LMFAO!!:laugh2:

[tomson75]

put my hoover through the wall...

[Da Hammer]

i havent done nothing stupid really, worst thing ive done is just not being able to sleep cause of how mad i was that we lost a winnable game. No wait yes i have i broke the control for my rooms tv when the Deadskins won with the 2 lucky hail marys. i threw it hard to the floor. ugghh that still kind of hurts... but anyways yea thats the dumbest thing ive done after a loss

[calico]

I smashed a wooden desk chair in my dorm room after a MNF loss to the Giants. The one where Deion returned the kickoff for a TD that would have won the game with no time on the clock, but it was called back for a forward lateral.

I smashed the chair on the wall and stomped the rest into the ground...I had to sneak into the main living space to steal a chair from there to get my deposit back ;)

I have others, but not as destructive as that one. I did have a friend who was on Oilers and Cowboys fan who, after the Oilers blew that lead to Buffalo, went into his kitchen and proceeded to smash two dozen eggs over his head one at a time...I was on the ground laughing.

Now, I have lost a humiliating bet with a roommate after the Texans game disaster...lets just say I had to drink something that was disgusting. I was so drunk after that loss that I did it with no problem, and then went out to my apartment balcony and started throwing beer bottles at the security camera across the way...it was quite a night.

[Dallas22]

Many different things... let's see, here are a couple off the top of my head:

-Cowboys 4th & 1, 2 times at FAGadelphia with Switzer... I kicked a speaker and completely destroyed it... the game was tied but of course we gave Philly FG with only minutes left to play and the Cowboys lost :(

-Last season in game 1 at San Diego I was at a local bar watching the game and when on 4th down and LONG on SD's last drive, Brees threw up a prayer and they caught it inside the Cowboys 10 yard line - I proceeded to punch a Deer hunting video game and almost broke it... that would've been jail time. I got lucky BUT so did the Cowboys and they held off the Chargers to win.

-Also last season after the Seattle game I lost control with my friends I was with. After the unbelievable loss and punching the bar table a dozen times, my friends kept asking me why it was such a big deal and why I was so upset. I told them to just leave me alone and not talk to me but they continued. I got so angry that I punched the wooden stool and broke it. not fun.

-After the Washington loss on MNF last season, I was in denial that we lost and in complete disbelief. But as I was walking out of the bar and it starting sinking in and I threw a plastic "beer specials" holder and shattered... obviously I slinked out of the bar ASAP.

-I've also kicked TV sets, thrown remotes and hit TV's, punched holes in walls, gotten into a couple of fracases, and other things in many different Cowboy games. I'm not proud of any of these things, in fact, it's embarrassing, but it is almost impossible for me to not express my anger and frustration when the Cowboys lose in close games.

Hopefully in 2006, I'll be able to learn from my mistakes and not be SO destructive, but something inside me tells me I won't succeed unless I smoke A LOT of weed!!! LOL

GO COWBOYS!!!

Dallas22

[Boom]

I kung-fu'd a coffee table in half once and also shattered a remote control against the floor. Funny thing is, I'm one of the most even tempered people I know, I don't get angry easily. But I cannot watch a Cowboys game with children around. I curse like a sailor and throw screaming fits at the TV during a game.


I usually listen to sports radio all day, but after a loss I cannot listen to anything or watch sportscenter until Thursday or so. If it's a loss the Skins, I won't listen the whole week and I won't read sports on the web.

[Chevyman08]

Probably the worst thing I ever did was turn my recliner over and slam it too the floor, through my remote and broke it into pieces and then went outside and kicked over a few of my wifes flowerpots. This is while my boss and his wife were over to watch the Cowboys and the Saints with me. He was a big Saints fan and they kicked our butt that night. He was ribbing me pretty good and finally I couldn't take it anymore. I had to apoligize alot after that. They never came over and watched any games with me after that.

I believe we went on to win the Superbowl that year.

I am exactly the same way when we lose. It is really hard on me after a loss because I play fantasy football. It kind of hurts you when you don't listen to the injury report all week.

Threw a bottle at my TV set and broke it when Star scored on the QB sneak winning the Ice Bowl.

Stupidest thing you've done in anger over a Cowboys game?


Let's just say there have been a few doors replaced, 2 cellphones replaced, countless numbers of remote controls replaced, glasses replaced, 1 couch replaced, 2 tables replaced, and I once had to have a fender on an old car replaced.


Sometimes I get so mad, but to keep from breaking something I'll claw my own head. Don't ask.


Needless to say, I know exactly where all my Irish DNA is located.

[Manster68]

After the 1994 loss to the 49ers, I went cruising. However, being a little reckless, I ran over a bottle, and it ended up wasting my tire.

At the University of Tennessee though (Knoxville), in 1986, a beautiful co-ed was hitting on me. When the ball went between Buckner's legs, I told her to take a hike.

[mmohican29]

In the first quarter of the '94 NFC championship game I whipped a full can of cherry skoal at the refrigerator opposite our living room. You could have clocked that sucker at about 100mph. Needless to say, the can shattered there was tobacco everywhere and I was jonesing at halftime. LOL.

[davidyee]

...outside in a middle of a blizzard in shorts and a t-shirt.

After 30 minutes I came home and threw the frozen clothes off into the garbage can.

Carried a terrible cold for a week and a half after that and had to petition to the university and the departmental dean for an extension to my papers and then exams during the Christmas season. I didn't go home for Christmas because I was finishing up school work.

Couldn't manage my anger for a half an hour and it blew a whole month and a half for me. Never lost my temper again during a football game.

[ZeroClub]

When Jackie Smith dropped the TD pass, I stomped my feet.

I wasn't wearing shoes. It was a concrete floor. I injured the bottom of my left foot.

It still gives me trouble if I spend a lot of time on my feet.

----

Since then, when things go bad, I just yell a lot.

[ZeroClub]

In the 4th quarter of the 1998 playoff humiliation to Arizona, I threw the remote through a plate-glass window. Father was not pleased, to say the least...I was at that game. Great seats .... 50 yard line, around the 10th row from the field. Very disappointing game. The team seemed to have zero intensity.

[lurkercowboy]

1983 NFC championship against the Redskins. I was in high school. When Dallas lost, I destroyed an ash-tray holder that I made in shop class.

1995 against the 49ers. I snapped a remote control in half during the game.

Those are the two biggies.

[TheSkaven]

This thread rocks.. but one thing I am noticing is that so many of you guys watch the games with rival fans. That would irritate me to no end. I can maybe handle that once a year at most.

[stealth]

I hugged a bunny... you animals!

[Duane]

This thread has had me LOL several times.

I got so pissed at the Cowboys/Seahawks game from a few years ago, the one where JJ ripped them apart and we won at the end, that I couldn't finish watching the game. I checked my blood pressure and it was through the roof - something like 180/100. So I left the house to get away from the game.

It was raining pretty hard that night and I failed to see the concrete barrier in the turning lane until it was too late. So I slammed on the brakes and slid into the thing with my car.

Yeah that was another one of those games that I just about got into a fight with my co-workers messing with me about the Cowboys losing. It was a MNF game and the Cowboys were up by something around 14 points in the fourth, when Seattle came back and took a 2 score lead. Then the Boy's came back with a late TD pass to Keyshawn, an onside kick, and JJ's running to win the game.

Needless to say that was the last time those co-workers ever came out to watch a Cowboys game with me. Now they warn other co-workers about watching the Cowboys with me... LOL!

Hopefully not, but probably it will :bang2: Hopefully if and when the Cowboys lose a game this season, it won't be like last year against Washington and Seattle... but others still hurt like Denver (on Thanksgiving) and at NY... but I also lost it almost as bad in some of the ones the Cowboys won like against NY, Carolina, MNF at Philly, SD, KC and SF... I mean, that is like taking at least 10 years off in one f'ing season!!!

He was the best man at my last wedding and we ragged one each other endlessly about football...he was a Skins fan. He was the only one that I felt I could hold my temper with during a game because he knew when to shut the hell up...and I had practice with his ribbing.

Dallas22The advantage that I have there is that when I was first really getting into the Cowboys as an avid fan Stuabach was the QB. I learned to never get too uptight until the game was over because we were never out of it until the final gun sounded. My blood pressure still gets up during those games but I hold it all in until the game is over.

[MichaelWinicki]

I got so angry once that I threatened Hos that I would tell everyone that he was actually Nors...

i ripped a cieling fan out of the cieling at someone else's house last year when the cowboys lost to the giants...

[Coakleys Dad]

[REDVOLUTION]

Its nothing crazy.... I just start cursing beyond control with many Mother F-Bombs(and all its acompanying other nice words) LOL... to the point where everyone that was giving me flak about the cowboys THEY THEN STOP... and all look in disbelief LMAO:chainsaw: :bomb:

[notherbob]

Thanks to all of you for reminding me why I quit doing stuff like that. It wasn't just the damage to myself and anything around me, it was the misery foy days or weeks afterward. Finally, in the blackness of deep despair, I realized that I wouldn't feel this way if I would take better control over my anger responses in the first place.

Eventually, I learned to control my responses more like an adult than the childish brat I had become and I have enjoyed the games much more since and Have been better company for others during the games. Learning to have consideration for others was very difficult because I always wanted my way and didn't care about others.

I took a Dale Carnegie Sales Course and among other things, they made me read and report on his book How to win Friends and Influence People, which wasn't the least bit macho, but helped me understand more about how to deal with other people by understanding what they responded favorably to and it completely changed how I deal with people and helped make me successful in selling.

I hope everyone here can learn to deal with their own emotions better as that will make life much sweeter. Life is good. :)

[Yakuza Rich]

Last year's Seattle game when Cortez missed the 28 yarder, I threw the remote against the wall, shattering it. Then kicked the living snot out of my dresser which seriously messed up my foot which didn't feel right for about 2 months and my dresser drawers don't work correctly.


On a non-Cowboys note. When I was in college I went to go visit some friends of mine who went to a different college in Virginia. We were watching the Packers vs. Niners playoff game (one where Owens catches the game winning TD). One of my friend's buddies was from Green Bay, parents are season ticket holders, and thus a huge Packers fan. As the Niners are driving down the field, a huge fight breaks out at their neighbors apartment and winds up rolling into my friend's apartment while we're watching the game. Everybody is either:

a) trying to break up the brawl

b) running out of the apartment.

c) trying to get out of the way.

Except for the Packers fan who doesn't move from his seat because he's focused on the game. Finally the police arrive and are asking questions while Young throws the TD. The Packers fan goes bezerk and starts smashing anything he can get his hands on and the cops throw him in jail for drunken disorderly conduct.


Rich.....

[Cbz40]

In my younger days as a Cowboy fan I was a complete Cowboyholic (still am). From August - January my life completely evolved around this team. My mood swings, diet, sleep, and over all temprement was determined by how well they played on Sunday.

On Game days I was like an expectant father in the waiting room of the hospital. The coffee would taste terrible, could not eat, I would pace the floor, walk to the front yard, walk around in the back yard. Waiting for game time seemed like a week.

When I was watching the game My wife and daughters were afraid to walk into the room. The dog stayed under the couch the entire day. The parakete well that stupid bird ..... let's just say pluckings were not unusual.

There was a time when the Cowboys would lose I would be devistated until the following Sunday. I would be a pathetic mess for the entire week.. Then after a couple of losing seasons I figured acting this way had to be a hazard to my well being.:rolleyes:

So Over the years I have mellowed somewhat, for health reasons, and probably because now I have a keyboard and a mouse that take the brunt of my frustrations..;)

But, I will have to admit, I still get very uptight on Gameday and I am quite sure that will never cease to happen.

[DallasCowboysRule!]

Durring the away game last year against the Giants I became so frsustrated I threw the remote control across the room shattering it into pieces. This happened right after Bledsoe fumbled and it went back for a TD.

Not Cowboy related but durring the Michigan-Nebraska Alamo Bowl last year I was so upset I didn't talk to anyone for about a week. I went upstairs (after injuring my foot by throwing my hat on the floor at top speed) and laid down and stared at the cieling for about 2 hours. No sheets or pillows on the bed ( I ripped them off in frustration) just laying on a bare matress staring at the cieling.

[DragonCowboy]

I guess I can keep my temper better than alot of you. :D

I just sit there for 5 minutes, staring at the screen, refusing to talk.

Then, I've controlled my temper, and people give me all kinds of crap about it, and I just take it nicely.

Heck, I watched the second Redskins game with an annoying Redskins fan. I didn't even punch him out!

[es22]

in '81 NFC Championship game after Danny White fumbled with , i kicked in my TV set.

on a side note, when Quincy got drafted, i went nuts. i smashed my remote against the wall, and flung pillows for about 5 minutes while cursing over our lovely draft pick

[kojak]

Last year, Monday night against the skins. Played hookie from work to stay home and watch the game. I have these little foam footballs that sit in a tray that straps on to a recliner. The idea behind these are for the sole purpose of throwing them at the TV when you are fustrated at something.

Well after the the skins had just scored there second TD in like a minute and half and took the lead. I hurled one of these footballs at the TV, but I missed and hit a glass frame picture of my daughter on the wall up and to the left of my TV. The frame fell which took 2 glass candle holders(hanging on the wall right beside the picture). Those holders then hit a little end table with another 3 standing glass candle holders on it, causing it to fall over. Everything was either broken or cracked after it was said and done.

But instead of thinking man my girlfriend is going to kill me, I was just plain sick to my stomach after what I had just witnessed. To make a long story short my Girlfriend no longer lets me play with my balls during games. ;)

Way back before I knew the Lord, I was dating this girl and went to her house to watch a game. Cowboys and SKins. Seems like everytime Dallas would have a good play, the refs would throw a flag. I was getting madder and madder by the minute. Finally with about 2 or 3 minutes left in the game Dallas scored but it was called back bby a holding penalty. (It would have put us up but 4 points). The replay showed no holding and I went nuts.

I picked up a couch pillow and chucked it against the wall. What I didn't know was that I had also grabbed My girlfriends cat at the same time. (The cat liked to sllep under the pillow.) All I heard was screeching and then the cat went into the window.

My girlfriend was not happy. Neither was the cat. I figured we were all even because no one was happy.

I hate the Redskins. :skins:

Brainpaint got so angry once he ripped off all his clothing, put on his trenchcoat, went down to elementary school and...

Oh I guess I shouldn't be telling that one. ;)

After a few seasons of watching the Boys having their butts whooped, I finally got tired of it during a Monday night game. I had just sworned that I had had enough of their losing, and that I wasn't going to be a Cowboy fan anymore. As I reached to turn off the TV (didn't have remote control in those days), Tony Dorsett broke off this "99 1/2" yard touchdown run against the Vikings. We lost the game, but I took the timing of this historic run as a sign not to ever give up on the Boys. I've been a lifelong fan ever since. Rain or shine, I'm a Cowboy fan forever. :bow:

I could never swear off the Cowboys or not be a fan... Actually, that thought has never crossed through my mind... But that is why the losses hurt that much more, because we are truely Cowboy fans.

Endless remotes (stopped counting at 15), a coffee table, a hole in the wall, a broken oak dresser (and toe), a guitar, and two windows, Just caught myself short of kicking a hole in the 53" HD tv after the Monday night Skins game (averted quickly to a dvd stand).

I have a bad temper to begin withand I've managed to control it in virtually every other phase of my life, but as far as the Boys go, I just can't help myself. God please let this be a good season.

That's a mighty impressive (read: expensive) temper you got there...

[skinsscalper]

WAY expensive temper. Last year was a pretty good year though, only the dvd stand and the hole in the wall (lol).

Really, though, I've gotten a lot better than I used to be. Maybe I'm just getting too old for the 20 minute rampages. Now, the violence ends in about 30 seconds and the lamenting lasts the rest of the day (but I still don't watch SC or NFL Network for a week).

I remember sometime back in 1980 or 1981 Dallas was playing in Detroit... A rookie QB, Eric Hipple, was fixing to get his first start... This was back when Billy Sims was toting the rock... Dallas was favored big time... America's Team vs. the lowly motown Lions...

Dallas was winning handily all game and then in the 2nd half Sims made some nice plays and Detroit got on a roll, Hipple managed the game well, and Edde Murray made a 47 yard FG at the end of the game to win it... I then understood how important it was for other teams to beat America's team... I was just dumbfounded and in shock... I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a bad dream. Surely this just couldn't happen to MY team when they started out playing so well...

I cried all evening afterward and my mom told me to go outside and take out my angst on something... but no throwing rocks at the neighbors pets. I grabbed my bicycle chain and proceeded to go out and whip the metal dumpster... Apparently it annoyed the neighbors and they called the cops... Well the cops drove down the alley with lights shining to find a little boy crying with a bike chain in the dark beating a metal dumpster... They asked me what was wrong and I just froze... I got a really dumb look from the policeman and he told me to be quiet and go home...

I realized I had it bad and I figured out what football passion was right then and there... One loss to a lesser (IMO) team, cried myself, got violent, got BUSTED. Sheesh!

Dallas Cowboys rule!!

[EveryoneElse]

In the first quarter of the '94 NFC championship game I whipped a full can of cherry skoal at the refrigerator opposite our living room. You could have clocked that sucker at about 100mph. Needless to say, the can shattered there was tobacco everywhere and I was jonesing at halftime. LOL.

I can relate to this story.

I can't remember how many times I've chucked a can of skoal across the room in frustration during a game, I've only vacumed up and swept up a broken can a hand full of times though.

Hint: Buy a log of what you chew.....running out is not fun, especially during a game.

I remembered crying after the Cowboys got whipped by the Eagles one time.

Dallas was up like 13-3 by halftime, or something, and then the Eagles just went crazy, and won 44-13. I just ran up to my room and dug my face in my pillow. I couldn't believe that MY team, (even though they were horrible that year) could play SO badly after starting out so well. It just blew my mind. It was then that I realized that the team that I idolized was not as good as I always thought they were. (I watched the Redskins games and consequently thought that Dallas was great lol)

[Number82]

My worst was when the Cowboys lost to the Redskins of MNF this past year, I threw a chair through a window. Problem was it wasn't my apartment. Let's just say my friend wasn't too happy about not having a window.

Dallas Cowboys rule!!

You forgot something Aardvark,




the Lions game-winning FG, they had TWELVE men on the field.

The sports page on the Monday paper displayed it. That cost Dallas home-field advantage, as I seriously doubt the Cowboys would not have lost that final game against the Giants (in which Dallas had nothing to play for).

Dallas would have been 14-2 with the niners going to Dallas. I seriously doubt the Cowboys would have lost

Yep Good memory!

[DallasEast]

I had a glass table once...

It was January of 1981. It had taken me a whole year to get over Dallas losing to Philly in the NFC championship game. There was NO way we would lose two years in a row and definitely not to those upstart 49ers.

We lost. Somehow, my hand punched through the tabletop. I never knew the human body contained so much blood.

Thankfully, the hospital was only a few minutes away. :)

Unfortunately, a year later, my reaction was worse. Anger makes you do stupid things. I don't want to talk about it. :mad:

[lcharles]

I just sit quietly alone in a room. :rolleyes:

[ConcordCowboy]

This was actually a good memory for me as I thought the outcome was going to be bad.

The 1980 playoff game against the Falcons.

Can't remember what the score was at the time but Atlanta had the lead and it all looked lost so I went up to my room to cry in my pillow, but my Dad kept watching the game.

So after a little while my Dad comes to my room and says you better get your *** down here and watch your Cowboys...They're about to make a Great comeback...So I did and they did.

Great memory...My Dad still gives me **** about that one.:D

[HoustonSucks]

This is fun. The worst I guess was throwing a beer bottle at a couple of Seahawk fans this past year. I got kicked out of the bar but no charges were pressed because I pulled the innocent girl card to the manager.

After we lost to the Texans in their first hideous game, I started flinging beer too. But I'd had the sense to tell people to remove the bottles and bring paper cups at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

It's like I've gotten more stupid the older I've gotten.

My dad has broken several chairs and odd pieces of furniture throughout the years.

We obviously need anger management.

I remember that game well... we had the "brilliant" defensive formation that assigned linebacker D.D. Lewis to cover Billy Sims. Needless to say we know how that one ended up. :(

I took all of my Cowboys stuff and put it in the metal garbage can and lit it on fire!:laugh2:

Wow, this thread is absolutely crazy!

So...how many of you guys are wife beaters? :eek:

Just reliving all these infamous moments in games is enough to get me angry. :mad:

I honestly don't think I've broken anything. Note to fans, no coffee table, no remote, and no beer can in your hand during the last 5 minutes of a game and you'll save a lot of money. :D

When I used to workout daily, I did get some great workouts after bad losses. 1...2.... Bleep that coach.... 3.... 4.... Damnit, what the hell was he thinking... 5.... 6.... :strongarm

[cowboyeric8]

When I was little I used to cry after every loss, wait that was just a few months ago, lol, just kidding.

But during one game we had balloons left over from a party or something, and every once in a while when they had a bad play I popped a balloon, and after that they would respond with a good play. So for the rest of the game every time we needed something big I popped a balloon. Lol, stupid superstition that only lasted a few games.

But hey, its cheaper than breaking things, and heck they even have BOOM when you pop them, ha.

still friends?

I remember with a bunch of my friends over that I got so mad I went outside in the third quater and climbed in a tree during a monday night game and sat there until the game was over.

[thomas_22]

Well He was my College room mate and He wasnt Into Football he liked Snowboarding and Skateboarding and was trying to piss me off but, nah not really freinds

[lurkercowboy]

I forgot one. After the "catch" game, I ripped my Joe Montana rookie card into shreds. Then, as the years went by, I watched that card become the most valuable one in the book. Do I regret it? Not really.

[Hoov]

I wouldn't say this was stupid, but the second time we played Buffalo in the SB there was a woman at my house on base who kept running her mouth during the first half pulling for the Bills. I kept telling her to shut up and she didnt so I ordie taped her to a chair and sat her outside taped to the chair for the third and part of the 4th Qt....

haha, awesome

[Hoov]

funny thread..... i cant remember breaking things, i tend to get bummed for a bit then just talk myself into saying it'l be better next week or next year.

but i almost always am the ONLY cowboys fan in a room with steelers fans, eagles fans and skins or giants fans. both my brothers are steelers fans, my dad is 49ers fan and i live in philly so most of my friends are eagles fans.

sooo, since i never buy the nfl package or anything i go out to philly sports bars alot to watch games. probably the worst night was one where the cowboys played the lions on monday night and the game was going back and forth, the lions werent good but sanders was carrying the team all night and emmitt was playing well too but the lions were really taking it to us.

so ive got my emmitt jersy on and i had been drinking much of the day so i was good and tanked by halftime. and everyone was rooting for the lions and booing the cowboys, and im the loudest one in the bar when the c owboys did anything good. so this guy is screaming, then im screaming and were going back and forth and it was all good fun until the guy in the bar with the microphone starts ripping cowboys and ripping cowboys fans and we're losing and then he's really rubbing it in and saying look at that sorry cowboys fan down the end of the bar, and wavibng at me and making me the topic of discussion. so sanders breaks a long run and he's saying hey what did you think of that and really trying to get under my skin.

so i gave him the finger and he goes yeah good one arsehole, so i stand up and im screaming at him and dropping the f bomb left and right and giving everyone in the bar the finger. and these 2 guys come over like they want to fight so i yell at them and tell them go back and get your other 2 friends because 2 of you arent enough, meet me outside i'll fight all you wussy's. so this went on for about 10 minutes (luckily my friend was going around telling everyone just let him go he's really drunk) because no one jumped me outside. and i challenged about 15 people to fight me.

so after the game my friend took me outside threw me in my truck and locked the doors as i passed out. i didnt wake up till the morning, and my wife was really pissed. i had to explain the next day but she didnt beleive me, she thought i went home with another woman. after that it was a fight everytime i wanted to go out to the bar to watch football.

[lane]

i used to be in a really bad mood after every loss back when i was between ages 8 through 32. i did everything from cry to not speaking to anyone...you name it. never broke furniture but came close on several occasions.

then maturity set in......sort of.

i do remember back in 97 against san fran when we could have tied the game on a long pass from troy to mike and it skimmed off mike's fingertips in the end zone.

as the pass was coming down........i mean mike was wide open.....

i jumped up and crashed my head into the living room ceiling fan..not the blades, but the light bulb fixtures..

it still works to this day although it wobbles a bit...

my kids looked at me like "what the heck is wrong with this dude?" :)

Oh I remember that game. It was a late game and was broadcast nationally. We went ahead 17-0 and then when the Lions won with twelve men on the field, I threw a newspaper at the door. My parents were not all that pleased but they understood.

[dallasfan31]

some here i broke my remote when lose the skins game.kept me up all night i was so mad.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Never did anything really stupid except PO the ole lady (she gets over it). I just go into the other room away from everyone else and wait it out. The family I think has finally learned to just leave me alone.

But I DO NOT want to telk about it.

Youre whipped.

[the kid 05]

when they lose or something bad happens i get one of those poker faces but veins in my forehead and neck start to show.

also i was playing a game of madden online *yes i knwo OT* but i was getting MURDERED i think this guy was beating me like a rag doll close to 52 -7 or something extremely close to that and yeah i lost control and proceeded to throw my xbox 360 controller through my wall into the living room...mannn my mom was pisssed!

[phillycard]

Damn Heavy Hitta. LOL!! Sorry my boys caused that agita for you man!! But I can tell you my brother banged open a fire exit at the Holiday Inn here in Philly when you guys lost that game to the eagles, when Troy was driving and James Willis intercepted lateralling to Troy Vincent. He was livid, and the alarm was loud as hell. he just kept walking right to his car!

[phillycard]

My worst was when the Cowboys lost to the Redskins of MNF this past year, I threw a chair through a window. Problem was it wasn't my apartment. Let's just say my friend wasn't too happy about not having a window.

Witten, I would have whipped your !:) One thing I learned not to do is destroy other peoples ish. I broke a friends rice cooker one year after a Cards loss and had to replace it. It was an authentic one from China that cost me way too much money.
