Does anyone else get emotional over the Cowboys?

[FCBarca]

I get excited for it, no doubt...Wins feel great, losses are hard to stomach.

I suppose 'emotional' would apply when I was around 8 or 9 years old...For now, at the end of the day it's just a game

 

[FCBarca]

the buffalo win was the most impossible game ive ever seen

i loved it

i nearly had a heart attack...once..no wait twice...no wait timeout...three times

I was at a bar with roughly 10 people, only 2 of us were Cowboy fans...Not even sure who was a Cowboy fan in the bar but when they won that place went nuts...I believe at least 1 table broke from somebody jumping up on it due to excitement...Pretty odd game.

Then again, last season will be tough to beat in terms of drama, non?

I get my fill watching the games, chatting up with my other Cowboy friends and these boards...Otherwise, between the Pistons, Barca and the boys I can't get too emotional about any of them...Life is short :laugh2:

Hell yeah I get emotional. After the loss to the giants I was so upset for about 9 days. I wasn't my normal self. If I see them lose a super bowl believe me I will cry. It's just how I am.

 

[BruceWayne]

I've cried 3 times when Irvin got hurt in Philly because I knew I would never see him play again. When Emmitt broke the record and when Irvin was inducted into the HOF. It takes me about a day to get over a Regular season but a playoff loss I'm sick to the bottom of my stomach I missed a day of work after last year.

 

[DallasCowpoke]

I had a little bit of an upset stomach when I heard them announce Quincy Carter's name. But it could of just been the What-a-Burger breakfast burrito.

EDIT: WOW, I'm really feeling sick right now, watching "Gap-Tooth" hoist the Lombardi Trophy on NBC! :ralph:

 

[gambit187]

Dude I have not stop getting emotional about this team through good and bad every since that dreaded "the catch"

 

[jobberone]

Who me. Emotional over a Cowboys game. Never gonna happen.

 

[Cbz40]

Naw Never.....I throw things.....cuss......Lock my wife out of the room...Lock my grandson in the closet.....doesthat count as being emotional?

 

[Sarge]

I've gone through at least 5 remotes through the years and one hole in the wall.

 

[notherbob]

I have had so many horribly depressing experiences for months after big losses in the past that I just quit getting emotional about football and deliberately pulled myself back and try not to let myself get all excited about the team winning or losing.

I was extremely disappointed with the way the team just seemed to quit trying around Thanksgiving last year for the umpteenth time and got beaten in the playoffs because they played like the outcome was not important to them.

This year I will watch but will not care much if they win or lose. I simply won't let it matter much to me anymore. This year I have spent way less time on football forums and have not been anxiously waiting for the start of the season like I have been for decades. My feelings have been hurt in the past because I allowed them to be hurt. My feelings won't be hurt much if I don't care much. I no longer allow football to affect how I feel. I am no longer a football fanatic and I feel good about that, but still I will always find the game fascinating enough to watch.

Do any of you get really emotional over the Cowboys?

Anyone else?

I'm down 7 dogs and 12 cats............. my neighbors hate me.

 

[Wolf2k5]

i did the guy thing and wanted to cry when that pick happened. instead i punched a slot machine on base and was yelled at by a bar tender on base. and then yelled at by gf who yelled at me for being yelled at. that made me angrier and i still to this day blame that on giants

 

[mmohican29]

I used to cry when I was a kid, got butterflies before big games during the Jimmy years, and now I'm dead inside.

Bingo. I feel relief when we win now, vs joy. After last year's loss- I felt nothing. Just empty. I think it has something to do with the fact that the NFL has grown so much that it has almost a hooligan following. When your team loses, your pride is on the line. You have to answer for your favorite team's ineptitude as silly as that sounds- rather than relish the enjoyment of the team's style that you once embraced. The Cowboys have the most fans- and the most rivals because of it. When they lose- they let you down at a personal level.

 

[diekrazy]

you sound like the overly sensitive guy in the movie "bedazzled"

:laugh2:

 

[CrazyCowboy]

I through up when Jackie Smith drop the ball......does that count?

 

[poke]

i once kicked a coffee table to an early death but i was in total control of
my emotions at the time ( thats my story and im sticking to it)

i did notice my kids giving me a wide berth for a couple of weeks after that,
and they seemed to keep their rooms cleaner for a little while.

my wife being the smart woman she is had a friend build us one out of 2 x 6's
and i stopped being so dumb
