Apparently the Porters are life long Cowboys fans

[Risen Star]

This surprised me. I always thought Sr., being the good Steeler, hated this franchise.

As an aside, I saw an interview with Brian Urlacher yesterday talking about this same thing. He said when he played he shut it off but now that he's retired he's a Cowboys fan again. Even over the Bears.

Hmmm
His dad hated the Cowboys

I could be completely wrong , but didn’t we have a chance to draft Porter and or even told him we were but drafted someone else?

 

[Acceptablename]

He was drafted 32 so ya

He was taken 32nd overall in 2023, meaning the Cowboys took, uh, Mazi Smith instead that season.

I meant his Dad. I should have been more clear

Not sure about his dad. The only players I recall feeling like Dallas would draft them but didn't were Michael Strahan and Randy Moss. And ouch to both.

Players put their past alleigience aside when they play. For example EZE grew up an Eagles fan. Hope he's over that.

Based on our brain trust since Jimmy, I would assume there are a ton of missed picks …. But that can be said for all the teams.

They were rooting for the Cowboys when the Cowboys whooped the Steelers in Super Bowl XXX

 

[Blast From The Past]

Hmmm
His dad hated the Cowboys

pretend while still playing

When you refer to "the porters" are we referring to Baggage Carriers, Train Attendents or Custodial Engineers?

Sean Lee was a diehard Steelers fan. In fact, he was so disappointed that the Steelers took another LB over him (Jason Worilds) that he went outside to be alone and that's when the Cowboys called.

Just a fun fact that Lee actually hates the Cowboys with a passion.

Maybe be as a player while he played. But since they are not rivals from the same conference. Did not mean he rooted aging them, only when the met head to head.

That’s why he was one of the original Hot Boyzz. He was a sleeper agent for the Steelers

I recall his dad specifically saying he did not want the Cowboys to draft his son.
I'm going to see if I can find the quote

At least wait until the check clears
