Does anyone else get emotional over the Cowboys?

[Beast_from_East]

I AM ADDICTED TO THE COWBOYS!!!

They are the only sports team I watch, I really dont even care about any other teams. I tried watching baseball unitl I realized it takes 6 freaking hours to play a game! I tried watching basketball until I realized the refs are the worst officials of any major sport. When they are not betting on the games themselves, they are calling phantom fouls. The NBA playoffs are even worse, that crap is not even watchable!

So all my time and energy is devoted soley to the Boyz. When they lose, I totally lose it. When we lost to Seattle on the botched snap, I puched 3 holes into a sheetrock wall. When we lost to the Giants last year, I tossed my universal remote across the room and broke a mirror. (Now I am going to have 7 years of bad luck, whoppee!).

When we win, it feels like winning the lottery, I am on cloud 9 for the whole week. Food taste better, the air smells fresher, even sex is better!!!!!

Threw a $300 vacuum through a wall once...over a bad call in the first quarter. We won the game.

I pouted so much one time...when we were down by ten at the half, I couldn't watch anymore and turned it off. The girl that I was dating at the time was feeling frisky and tried to start a little sum'n sum'n....but she got up all pissed off because she could tell that I was just going through the motions. She turned the TV back on so I would stop being a baby, and we were up by a touchdown.

So, yeah, the Cowboys are more important to me than money or sex. I get a little emotional. The only thing comparable is the love for my dog.

so would you call out from work to watch or go to a cowboy game??????

Another question for those in this thread. Can you guys stand to have anyone else around during your game watching time?

I can't. I mean, whoever it is and no matter what team they're cheering for, unless they can match my football knowledge, I want them nowhere around me since I can't really express what I'm angry about. I also don't like people asking me what happened after we lose. Don't ask me. I might know, but I don't want to talk about it with you.

I will watch football games with my parents. My mom has to get to work early in the morning so she can't watch the Sunday Night/Monday Night games, and if my dad is home we will watch them together and talk about the plays. When he's not home I usually watch those games by myself.

I hate when people who don't know football comes over and watches ball games with me, because they are always asking what happened and/or they don't care about the game and want to talk about other topics. For example my grandma and her husband came over to watch the Superbowl, back in Feburary, and they wanted to chat about the family and trips they have taken. And everytime a big play would happen one of them would ask, what happened?:bang2::bang2::bang2:

I don't really mind people that try to learn about the game. I remember this one girl asked what are they doing.....they were punting and my friend was like you can't be serious

After the loss to the Giants in the playoffs I was the most upset I have been since I was a kid watching us lose to the Niners in '94. Even more so after the botched snap. I just sat in the basement for like two hours and stared off into space.

the loss didn't piss me off that much I got over it after a couple of hours / days it was the Giant fans that really piss me off. Especially the ones that you don't see for the whole year and then decide to show face becasue they won the superbowl I caught so much hell.

Nope - they all just piss me off. I'll join the 'zone chatroom to follow the game if I can't get it on TV but mostly my Cowboys pleasure & pain is private.

Would that be your . . . . unicorn vacuum????

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I get upset, never cried but curse, scream etc

I mostly pace in my front room when the game is close

 

[windward]

I've learned to manipulate my work schedule to minimize the games I miss.

DVR has also become my best friend.

I remember back in 1982, as a 2nd grader, I balled my eyes out when Dwight Clark and Joe Montana hooked up for "the catch". Now i just fluctuate between nirvana and rage according to the outcome of the games.

i did the same thing. I also was in denial for 2 years and thought the game was fixed (the ref blew the call) until i saw another angle. I was so pissed that i kicked in the tv. Parent's werent too thrilled about that.

The loss last year disgusted me. It was tough watching the playoffs, especially the Giants winning and knowing that it should have been us.

My friends and wives love having me over since i get caught up in the game. It adds to the ambiance.

 

[es22]

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 have to stop attenting cowboys games. I went to both the Buffalo and Detroit games last year and almost had heart attacks. The Buffalo game was so sweet. My voice at work the next morning was shot, but well worth it.

 

[Real1st]

Dude i woke up at 5:30am this morning. I knew i was in a world of hurt. When im up on gameday this early i cant go back to sleep because im thinking of matchups and scenarios in the game

I've made it a point to any boss I've ever had that I was not to be scheduled during Cowboy games. If they weren't football fans, I provided them a schedule. I'm about to become a small business owner, so it won't be a problem anymore.

 

[es22]

Yep, not as much as I use too.

Up until a few years ago, when the Cowboys lost it would ruin the entire week for me, now it just ruins the entire next day.

When I almost broke my hand punching a wall after what seemed like Quincy Carter's 100th interception in the Playoff Loss to the Carolina Panthers, I realized I needed to take it easy and it was just a football game .

I was at a friends place for the draft. I was telling my buddy that a team must be stupid to draft Quincy as he has gotten worse since his freshman year. When Jerry Jones drafted him, i went insane and actually had his dad come downstairs. I then realized that i was at someone else's place and I regained my composure.

When QC threw his 4th interception vs the cardinals (including 2 in the end zone) i lost it. i started to scream at the tv yelling at Jerry to cut his ***. Lucky for me, my future wife overlooked that moment.

I'm apologizing now for any thing I may say on this board. Anyone who was here last year or the year before that knows I'm one of a couple people that live and die with every play. I do get to emotional, I do turn into a chicken little and then a homer in the same breath. I'm going to do every thing I can to keep it in check even if it means staying away as much as possible but PLEASE do not hold it against me. You should know by now I'm level headed every day but game day when pure emotion takes over.

Check out my post of "??? Difference between 13-3, and 10-6"
