Do you prefer the Cowboys be flashy and loud, or blue-collar and quiet?

[Red Dragon]

As we all know, the Cowboys have always had a reputation for being Hollywood-ish. Loudmouthed in the 1990s, Jimmy guaranteeing victory over San Fran, the debauchery, glamor, ratings, media hype, etc.

I suspect many of us here are San Antonio Spurs fans too like I am, and they are the polar opposite of the Cowboys - a low key, well disciplined, blue collar, quiet but highly successful team (until recently.) Generally, I prefer the blue-collar type and dislike flash and hype. But the Cowboys brand is fundamentally high-profile and attention-grabbing.

So, if you could choose, would you rather the Cowboys be glamorous and loud, or low-key?

They were both in 92 & 93.

Externally they were brash with Mike Irvin leading the way, however...
- They had a blue collar work ethic.

Blue-collar and quiet but still kick your butt.

Just Win Baby....

Flashy and loud hasn’t worked for over two decades……..

Swag. Specifically, The U Swag. Jimmy and Irvin brought some of it with them.

I know it had all those Landry Sunday School crowds in a riot, but I loved it.

I like them flashy. The game is second to flash. I like going to a game and watching a dance club breakout. I love the self-promoting crap. I wish the center would jump up and down every time they hand the ball to the quarterback. Or the long snapper running down into the end zone pounding his chest from a long snap. Why can't we let the kicker celebrate a long kick that goes out of the end zone? why can't he run down pound his chest three times and point to the skies while doing a special ed dance? why do they even play football, why can't they just come out and have a dance-off or some sign-off for the win?

Ill take Blue Collar every time

HOT BOYZZZZZzszsSzzZz

As much as I dislike gaudy play, I'd probably be okay with it, as long as they can back it up.

 

[Rajveer]

Flashy and loud on defense and blue collar on offense.

 

[75boyz]

I believe Barry Sanders was trying to please his pops because he was always told Jim Brown was the best and a story emerged I think.
Something about when ya score a touchdown act like you've been there before.

I always loved how Barry casually tossed the ball back to the refs after scoring a TD. No matter how many defenders ankles he broke getting to the endzone, lol

Humility by athletes is refreshing.

Especially in this me first society we live in nowadays.

 

[HungryLion]

I honestly don’t think either type has any causation with winning.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Silver items can be considered flashy.
Blue items can be considered calming.
This is actually a Silver or Blue question?

Blue 100%. Blue. Blue. Blue.
I want the players to be....I just came here so I wouldn't be fined, blue.

 

[calico]

I want natural swag from being good.

 

[remdak]

I want them to be like a mullet - business in the front, party in the back

 

[HungryLion]

I honestly don’t care if they’re sneaking out of the team hotel and partying and banging hookers the night before games.

Nor do I care if they’re low key reading their bible Saturdays and having brunch with the in laws on Sundays before the game.


Just win.

This.....those were tough blue collar teams that happened to play with a confidence bordering on arrogance. Rubbed a lot of people the wrong way but I didn't care because they won......bottom line.

Michael Irvin was about as flashy as a player could be. He also would practice so hard he would literally puke on the field and keep practicing. Nobody can say he didn’t work hard. Despite the flashiness and off field troubles.

He was puking on the field because he was burning off a bottle of gin and a few bumps from the night before.

Just kidding, loves me some 88. Bottom line, whatever style you want, just win baby.
