Worst Loss - 1998 Wild Card Loss to Arizona - How do you let that little panty wearing, cry-baby Jake Plummer beat us?

Worst Player - Ryan Leaf - No explanation needed, I almost had to find a new team until I realized he wouldn't make it here either!

Worst Personality - Tony Banks - Worthless! Never forget him crying his butt out of here.

Biggest Underachiever - Shante Carver - Go Desperados!

Worst Moment - Mark tuinei/Tom Landry/Tex Schramm dying were all crushing to Cowboys Fans! What the hell ever happened to Nicky Sualua!

Biggest Surprise - Tyson Walter - 6th round pick and has been quite servicable.

Best Win - Carolina 10/13/02 AB catches a bobble to win it 14-13! I loved being at this game with all the boo-birds all game long. Somehow the same people booing were praising Quincy after that!

Best Player - Jay Novacek - Hands down, had to be the biggest immediate loss to our offense!

Best Personality - Alonzo Spellman - Come on, any defensive lineman with BiPolar Disorder....you gotta love that! Last I heard, he got committed to a psychiatric hospital after a disturbance on a plane!

Biggest Overachiever - Emmitt Smith - Might get his 20,000 before he retires!

Best Moment - Finally beating Pittsburgh in a SuperBowl! Ahh the revenge!

Hostile · 07-27-2004

Worst Loss in the last 10 years? 2002 vs. the Cardinals. I had the displeasure of paying to go see that game. I wanted to put my eyes out. How they could play that poorly against that awful team is beyond me to this day. The drive home may have been the longest of my life.

Worst Player in the last 10 years? Robert Thomas at FB. I have long said if he cashed his game paychecks he is a thief.

Worst Personality in the last 10 years? Not sure this can include coaches or not but Barry Switzer. The team discipline started downhill when he arrived. Then we had his assinine eating of a hot dog on the sidelines of the Pro Bowl and the gun at the airport and his stupid excuse for why it was there. Just an all around idiot in my book.

Player who was the Biggest underachiever in the last 10 years? Shante Carver. Close to him are David LaFleur, Kavika Pittman, and Ebenezer Ekuban, but he still takes the cake.

Worst moment for the Cowboys in the last 10 years? Losing the innagural game to the Texans. That is a distinction that really just chaps my butt.

Player who was the Biggest suprise in the last 10 years? I thought Dexter Coakley was too small to make it in the NFL. Not only has he made it, he's been a lot of fun to watch.

Best win in the last 10 years? Giants game last year. Parcells return to the Meadowlands. Will be talked about for years to come.

Best Player in the last 10 years? Larry Allen. I know he had a couple of down years but his early years where he was the most dominant force in the NFL make him the runaway choice in my book. I've said it before, this guy may be the best football player to ever play in Dallas based on where he was at his best vs. the next best guy at the same position. He was simply in a league by himself.

Best Personality in the last 10 years? Darren Woodson. An honest to goodness good guy and a natural leader. Earned every accolade ever given to him and left every bit of himself on the football field. He not only played stellar defense for years but was a Special Teams ace as well.

Player who was the Biggest overachiever in the last 10 years? I'm sure I view this topic differently than others will. Dat Nguyen has turned into a tremendous Defensive Captain. Though he was drafted in the 3rd round I never envisioned him being an anchor for a defense, but he clearly is. He combines intelligence and passion for the game to a motor that doesn't stop and at a size that doesn't lend to people speaking of you in reverent whispered tones. He'll never likely be mentioned in the same breath as Brian Urlacher and that is a pity because I think he is a better MLB. He does the job brilliantly and with almost no accolades. He doesn't go pound his chest and demand respect. He just does his job and does it better than anyone expects. He so impressed Bill Parcells that he said last year he'd want him on any defense. High praise from a man who does not give it lightly.

Best moment for the Cowboys in the last 10 years? Super Bowl XXX. Has to be by default. I think the hiring of Parcells could end up being bigger if he wins more than 1 Super Bowl, but until he does, the Lombardi is what it is all about.

Maikeru-sama · 07-27-2004

Worst Loss in the last 10 years?
2003 playoff game against the Panthers. Expectations were high and the Boys had already beaten the Panthers earlier in the season. The result, 29-10 romp suffered by the Boys.

Worst Player in the last 10 years?
Dewayne Goorich just never lived up to that lofty 2nd round draft pick. Seemed to struggle in coverage and later in his career was involved in an appearant dwi accident that would end deadly.

Worst Personality in the last 10 years?
Chan Gailey, just didnt seem to have the warmest personality. After 2 short seasons, Gailey and his personality was shown the door.

Player who was the Biggest underachiever in the last 10 years?
Shante Carver was a 1st round pick and was suppose to carry on the sack master tradition that Haley had established at Right End, needless to say, things just didnt work out.

Worst moment for the Cowboys in the last 10 years?
September 24th, 2000, Cowboys vs. 49ers at Texas Stadium - The Infamous Star Wars incident.

Player/Coach who was the Biggest suprise in the last 10 years?
Expectations were not that high for Barry Switzer when he was named coach in 1994. All he did was win a Super Bowl title, finish with a .625 regular season winning percentage and go 5-2 in the playoffs.

Best win in the last 10 years?
Easy, The Super Bowl XXX win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Best Player in the last 10 years?
La'roi Glover has been the cornerstone of the defense for a good while now. Even though Big Bill said only the long snacker Jeff Robinson's job was safe in a Press Conference after the 2003 season, somehow, I had a feeling ole Glover would be back as well.

Best Personality in the last 10 years?
Michael Irvin had one of the most colorful personalities in club history. And when he and Deion get together, they will have you laughing for weeks.

Player who was the Biggest overachiever in the last 10 years?
Dexter Coakley, 3rd round pick was probably a long shot to make the team because of his size. Turned into one of the most productive linebackers in history.

Best moment for the Cowboys in the last 10 years?
The Press Conference where Bill Parcells was named Heach Coach.

Okay, that has me intrigued. Please explain. Much confusion racing through my head.

Worst Loss in the last 10 years?
1995 NFC Championship game...The 4th quarter No-Call against Deion on the playmaker...Where Barry argued and we got penalized...We got penalized for a Deion pass interference play against us.

Worst loss: I believe it was 1998 Thanksgiving ve. the Vikings. Randy Moss caugh three passes all for long touchdowns. This signaled the downfall to come.

Worst Player in the last 10 years: Shante Carver' wasted 1sy round pick and now out of the league

Worst Personality in the last 10 years? Darren Hambrick; self-centered arrogant a full of himself. Should have remembered these things when annointing his little brother the starter last year.

Player who was the Biggest underachiever in the last 10 years? Dwayne Goodrich

Worst moment for the Cowboys in the last 10 years? Hard Knocks 2002. All of the A$$ Kissin' on Chad Hutchinson. They'll look like fools all of eternity thanks to that show. Shows just how desperate the team was for another QB.

Player who was the Biggest suprise in the last 10 years? Dat Nguyen. A lot of questions initially about his size and being first Asian-American in the league. Now on the verge of being a pro bowler.

Best win in the last 10 years? LEven the die hards were shocked at the outsome. Last season vs. the Giants on Monday night. They should have lost but pulled it out in OT which gave them hope for the rest of the season and the near future.

Best Player in the last 10 years? Emmitt Smith of course. Are there any other options? OK, LA is a close second...but Emmitt still is #1.

Best Personality in the last 10 years? Michael Irvin of course. Loud, flambouyant, drugs, hookers, broken neck, etc.

Player who was the Biggest overachiever in the last 10 years? Dexter Coakley. Three time pro bowler at 5'10" and @ 230 lbs. for most of his career.

Best moment for the Cowboys in the last 10 years? Super Bowl XXX

Simultaneously irritating and entertaining. I call it "irritainment"

I think you could put Switzer in the same category.
