Thanks for the warm reception, guys :)
Thanks for hanging around and letting us welcome you and get to know you a little better. Some just leave us hanging necessitating turning their welcoming thread into one of debauchery and decadence. We win either way.

We're gonna get our D&D somewhere but I guess we better put lamb's blood on Crosbie's thread.

Welcome Crosbie, good to see another Brit, I'm a Diehard Chelsea fan and a 'Boys fan since 1985, don't believe a word that these Reprobates say about Me (except the good things).

No matter how hard You try to convince Them otherwise, most Folks will insist on reading Your posts in a Hugh Grant accent and see You as a posh sophisticated urbane Gentleman (no matter how many times I tell Them that I look like Charles Manson and sound like Bob Hoskins, it never seems to work), good move calling Your current Home Leamington Spa and not using it's full name of Royal Leamington Spa (that'd probably convince Them that You're a Duke or something)

Folks here are obsessed with food, British cuisine is an endless source of fascination to Them, You may have to spend a lot of time explaining the culinary delights of Blighty, such as Bubble and Squeak, Toad in the Hole and Their all-time favourite Spotted Dick (maybe You could introduce Them to a few Northern Specialities like Hot-Pot).
Dear Crosbie, trust the reprobates! Especially Runnybunny and Coachie Woachie. Oh... yeah... it could happen. Relax, you're safe. Lundy (precedence) is trying to lead you down the wrong path. He's already discussed British food with us. :thumbdown: It might taste great, but the names sound unappealing. Ask for Spotted Dick here with cause more problems than you can shake a stick at.
Hahaha! I did almost pick The Rams or The Saints, but alas, I am stubborn. I’ve made my choice and will stay loyal to the Cowboys until my end of days is upon me ;)
:star:Once you've become more familiar with our history, love for the Cowboys will make perfect sense. :star:

Sorry. We're so used to people introducing themselves, then disappearing that now we just immediately claim the thread as ours. :laugh:

Hahaha. No worries man, I like to check in regularly. I work from home 5 days a week so I can dip in & out when things aren't too chaotic. It's nice to see how close the pack is!

My pleasure, brother!

Thanks Xeldyweldy! I'm trying to absorb as much of the history as I can, watching some of the seasons whereby we won or at least reached the SB. I watched Tony Romo's "A Football Life" as well as the All Or Nothing; A Season With The Dallas Cowboys on Prime... I'm already too deep into this relationship to go sewing my wild-oats anywhere else, like Las Vegas or New Orleans. ;)

Everybody got their Giants jerseys ready for tonight's game? I know how unholy it feels cheering for a rival, but as far as our play-offs chances go... They're the lesser of two evils :D

Well, the way the East is going, the winner of the division might also get a top 10 draft pick.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! The only thing I allow on my property is someone wiping their butt with Giants propaganda
.
:star: The Giants will never be the lesser of two evils. They can only tie with the other evils. Oh wait, you're talking about Philly. You're right. They are the devil's team. The only good thing they ever did was hire Chip Kelly.

Hi all

Posting my suggested introductory thread! I’m a new NFL fan (I just recently became obsessed with the sport this pre-season) and without being blessed with the privilege of being born in the USA, and having no affiliation with any specific State, I decided to pick the Cowboys as my team. My reasoning was simple, I loved the team’s spirit and fighting motto throughout the All Or Nothing series on Amazon Prime, I have friends who live in Dallas, so the prospect of visiting the AT&T is real, and also my favourite band used to be Pantera, and Dimebag was a big Cowboys fan. I guess I could have done what everybody else in the UK seems to do and try to come up with paper thin reasons to somehow justify the fact they’re Patriot fans, (my great great great grandad had a clock from New England, so naturally I’m a Pats fan) but I prefer to ride the underdogs, and I’m happy to say; I’m starting to bleed silver & blue.

I don’t feel like I’ll ever be able to have the same affinity for the team as some of you good people who’ve been born and raised by generations of Cowboys fans yourselves, though I hope to be accepted as a true lover of the sport and the team all the same. Perhaps some day, even an honourary Texan (yes, sorry, I spell honour / colour etc the English way.)

I’ve bought myself my Zeke jersey and an official Cowboys hat, and am hoping to make a trip to Mecca (AT&T) next year :)

So... my first question to you all; is it always this depressing being a Cowboys fan? I am a realist, and I’ve done the research and the homework into all of our recent seasons, I’ve even gone so far as to go back in time and watch the majority of the Cowboys games since 2016, so I’m putting in the time to get up to speed.

Is it really as doom and gloom as it feels on the forums at the moment? Is Dak really not the franchise QB we wanted / needed? I know Garrett is hugely unpopular (as is JJ) but I don’t have the history with them to feel that same anger as the long-erm fans do, so I can’t share in that. I can however already identify that Linehan is a joke. I mean, our Offensive playbook is so limited, if I can read every play before it happens as a football fan of only 2 months... what hope do we have of bamboozling seasoned Dlines and coaches?

What do you guys think needs to change in order for the team to get back to the legendary status of old? I very much hope to experience making the playoffs and Super Bowl wins during my new life as a fan of the sport and the Cowboys.

Apart from getting rid of JJ / JG / and Linehan, what do you think needs to happen for us to be a Super Bowl team? I don’t feel like I have the experience to say what exactly needs to change right now, all I can say is, watching almost every other game every week - I feel like the other teams offensive units are so much more interesting and creative to watch; even the Browns who as I understand it, up until this year, were literally the booby-prize of the entire NFL, are making some freaking huge plays. The kind of plays that I want to see Dallas making! I say apart from changing the owners and coaches because I’ve read enough of that today and I’d like to hear some more detailed breakdowns of the line-up!

So I ask you good people and long-standing fans; what needs to change?
Welcome and you have a lot of words in you :oldcouple::welcome:

That might be how they say it in Georgia, but Texans religiously use the letter R. It's Podner or Pawdner (East Texas Twang, thank you, thank you). Are you the one that got him to using "y'all"? Otis looks especially guilty tonight.

That was a right proper introduction. He's going to be the Silver and Blue Standard by which new members will be judged. The "Hey, I'm new here" group will be dismissed and their threads promptly jacked.

Hahah. I like to try and add a bit more character to introductions than just "Err hello, I err, I guess I'm new here... uhmmmmmmm.... Go Cowboys?" You guys have been a great welcoming committee, I am honoured. Yea, that's right right, I said HONOURED.

He always looks guilty because even if he hasn't done anything, he's lusted in his heart like Jimmy Carter.

I don't know who is responsible for Londy using y'all but I think it makes him look cute.

Uh oh, another Brit with too many u's, just for that, I am droppin' my g's.

Crosbie, you use as many words as you like, these folks are used to it. They complained about me for years but then realized how much I had helped their readin' skills and actually stopped several from movin' their lips when readin' because of chapped lips.
