Did the America's Team title ever get offered to Steelers? Sean Salisbury said so;

Google "America's Team."

The results don't lie.

A whole lot of fans say the nickname is offensive, and then will turn right around and tell you why another team (usually theirs) deserves it. How is it offensive if someone deserves it?

They never try and adopt other nicknames except a couple of years ago they wanted to see who was the real "Titletown, USA." It's Green Bay. It is always going to be Green Bay. The Cowboys could win the next 20 Super Bowls and it would still belong to Green Bay.

Nicknames are not transferable and they are not transient. Even in 1989 when we were 1-15 the press was calling us America's Team.

Bob Ryan of NFL Films chose the nickname for the 1979 Cowboys Highlight film. Not anyone with the Cowboys. The name stuck.

I believe the name America's team refers to popularity more than the success of the franchise, By popular vote, there are more Cowboy fans in America than any other professional team in sports , the only exception to that rule is the New York Yankees.

Both franchises are synonymous with winning as our first priority. I don't think there is any other reasons why we were pegged "America's Team", And rightfully so !

Sean Salisbury is a bitter and jealous man.

As you know i listen to several shows about the cowboys. On KRLD 105.3 the flag ship station now; with salisbury and some guy;
http://www.1053thefan.com/SHOWS---Sean-Salisbury---Newy-Scruggs/3784770

sean salisbury was popping off and said something like the cowboys didnt deserve Americas Team title, but possibly the steelers or the patriots. Salisbury went on to say that the steelers were offered the title of americas team, but that the steelers turned it down; but he didnt say when.

i thought some of you would want to know. I know i was ticked off. I gave you the link to the show and here is the phone number, i couldnt find a toll free number though.

1-214-787-1053

I never did like salisbury anyway, but thought some of you loyal dallas cowboys fans would want to know, the show starts noon to 3 pm best i remember.

When did teams begin being asked to be called America's Team? Who would ask the team that question? Can't be America so would it even count?
