It is always HOT because it is called SUMMER and has been that way every year
slow down denier.

Up and down the West Coast, millions of people are experiencing the hottest July on record. With just under two weeks left in the month, more than two dozen locations covering a large area of California are on track to break all-time temperature records for July.
Through July 17, the average temperature in Redding — calculated by averaging the daily high and low temperatures — was 92.4 degrees, more than 5 degrees warmer than the previous record for July, set in 2021. In Bakersfield, the average temperature this month is 92.6 degrees, nearly 3 degrees higher than the next hottest July on record.



That was a week or so ago,... but yea, its damn hot this year.

Do you live in Ca? Apparently not, because yea, this Summer is not like others. 31 days in July and we have probably had 20 or more days of 103 plus temps... so yep, its pretty freaking hot. Ive lived in Ca my entire life... this is not a normal Summer.
I've always thought of Northern California as the great weather part. Something is definitely right when trees can grow that big. SoCal can get hot.

This is completely false. The appeal of the Cowboys will never go away, just like the Yankees. Dallas hasn't won anything in value in nearing 3 decades, yet they are still the most valuable franchise in the world in any sport or one of them year after year. The DFW itself is not causing that. Dallas fans took over the Rams and Chargers stadiums in the last few seasons. Same as Arizona.
OK, with that being said what do you attribute a crowd at training camp that is about 70% less than it has been the last several years to?. And that’s not making it up. I have people that are there.

There could be any number of explanations -- we're talking about judging the motivations of 100s/1000s of individuals.

But the enthusiasm is just not there. I don't need to see empty stands to understand that.

And that's what Jerry and Stephen deserve.

You have it mixed up//..... a little. Ca has very distinct reasons. The central valley, which gets damn hot, the coastal regions which stay fairly cool, the mountain regions... well , which are mountains, but they are all very different. Ca is 1000 miles from border to border.

Too many Dumb, Gullible homer Cowboys fans for that stadium to ever be empty. It would have to get to Washington levels of ineptitude before that happens unfortunately.

Good. That Packers game might be the most disappointing game I can remember. Hit harder than the 07 Giants game IMO
So I was numb for both losses. In 2007, I was predicting a loss all year because I was out on Wade Phillips (@stiletto can vouch for that lol) and last year I was fully expecting Dak to choke at him given what I saw the year before. I was sky high before watching the game because I felt a blowout lol.

For me, The Catch will always be my most devastating playoff loss...only because I wanted to believe Danny White could be as good as Roger and my whole family hated the Cowboys. It's why I laugh when people question my fandom...I was born in the dark...molded by it!

I think I was like 4 or 5 when the Catch happened and I blew a freakin gasket... I was that into it even that little. Still remember stomping off into the other room and sitting on a chair having a hissy. My grandpa thought it was the funniest thing ever. I still remember him laughing at me and it made me laugh. They weren't into football but I guess they knew how much I was.

I was pretty disappointed during the 49er game when Aikman threw the 3 interceptions but was happy with how the team battled that day by the end. A far cry from our current group of clownish fanny-patted losers. Different time I guess.

I hope we see the same at the stadium. For those who are still have a glutton for punishment, please bring the paper bags for your head.
It is the longshot idea that is far more likely to motivate what nests between Jerry Jones' ears than empty seats ever will. Dude may be cheap. He may be greedy. Neither matter in the end since he is one of the most stubborn <expletive> most people will ever experience during their lifetime.

Same here! My grandparents were laughing at me...or so I thought. They probably were laughing at the fact that I was upset...more so than being happy the 49ers won.

That '94 loss cemented my love for that team. Even the 49er fans who I ran into had to put some respect on the team...they cheated on the cap, Emmitt had a hurt hamstring and Jerry hired Barry Swisher Sweets to run the team and we STILL almost beat you. Loved the fact that Aikman kept throwing AT Deion and trusting Michael.

I love, love, love CeeDee Lamb and I blame goofy Dak for the playoff loss, but CeeDee Lamb's dejected body language was NOT professional and a far cry from what the other 88 (Irvin) would have done. Even Dez wouldn't have pouted like that. Again, love CeeDee but I understand why Jerry has issues paying all 3 of these guys the best at their respective positions.

Probably a good thing. But would be more important if it was a regular season game.
It's an awesome thing. We need fans to deliver the message. We're a long ways away, but it's a start. Stop buying merchandise and lining the Joneses pockets and maybe they stop actively trolling the fanbase.
