Dallas Cowboys Weekly... Is it worth the $$$$

[31smackdown]

The only thing that I recall being additive information was the player Q&A's and the cheerleader page. Every once in a while they would do a more in depth profile on a player that would be interesting. It's almost more like a collector or nostalgia piece. Sometimes it's nice to read a paper instead of the computer screen.

You hit the nail on the head there about it being more like a collector or nostalgia thing. Exactly right and it is interesting how fast nostaglia catches up with you.

I used to usually receive the Weekly on Friday mornings and, in my youth, I would often have to work afternoons, so I would read the Weekly with breakfast. That was an in-season Friday tradition. After a bad loss, I would look forward to reading the DCW game recap because it would never seem as bad.

Subscribed for years and it was special but it always arrived too late - dated material. Like everybody else says the internet made it obsolete. Between this forum and the team's official website you don't miss a beat.

If the team offered a discounted, online only edition I might reconsider. But there is so much content available on the net already.

However, the DCW was the King during it's era.

I got a feeling of profound melancholy reading this thread. It took me back to a simpler time; yes they usually arrived late and during the lean years, you had to make do with seeing "The Lethal Weapon" Vince Albritton on the cover, but I still loved collecting them. I even ordered the Blue Book one year, following the 1985 season. It had statistical breakdowns of each game (Tony Hill and Mike Renfro were dynamite that year!) and even a preview of the 1986 draft class (if only Sherrard could've stayed healthy! As for Zendejas, Clack, and the rest....)

Anyways, I loved the DCWs back in the day, but they more or less define obsolete in this day and age. I used to have my collection in pretty good condition, but a basement flood put paid to it.

Yeah, it's hard to print and mail updates about where Jerry's jet has taken off from and landed.
