Does watching the Dallas Cowboys cure depression?

[ODawg]

I have noticed with myself that when its football season im happier and when the dog days of Summer are here i tend to be bummed and thinking of the upcoming season as hope? Or just football in general helps your mental state??? Just wondering who out there suffers like me from Boys Withdrawl!:laugh1:

Well considering they are the ones that start my depression early in the year every year, it's only right they help to alleviate it some when the new season starts.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Yes....well at least until Dec :laugh2:

 

[lcharles]

Do you think the last two games of last year would cure anybodys depression? :cry2:





No. it might cause it, not cure it.

 

[bbgun]

No, it just means you're a masochist.

 

[ODawg]

No, it just means you're a masochist.

what does that mean?

 

[ODawg]

Someone who derives pleasure from recieving pain! Masochist

 

[ODawg]

aka known as the Dallas Cowboys who only seem to cause pain!

I'm with you on this one, even though the past years have caused some serious pain.. my schedule is dictated around the Cowboys during the season, but I'm just a huge football fan in general. I like baseball and basketball, but nothing touches football.

Summer used to be my favorite time of the year when I was in school, but now I really don't care about it at all.. I wouldn't mind one bit waking up tomorrow and having it be September. I'm ready for college football and most importantly, ready for Cowboys football.

I find myself during the day just daydreaming about football.. it's all that I'm looking forward to at this point. Knowing that our first exhibition game is a month away makes me a little depressed. Even though a month isn't long, it's too long for me.

HAhahahahaha well put sir, well put. I was thinking the same.

I was pissed about the playoff loss to NY for at least 3 months

I would just as soon skip right from the end of May to the beginning of September. Essentially, from the end of the NBA playoffs to the start of the NFL season. I hate baseball and the heat here in NC just sucks so there's no going outside for me during the summer months here.

The beginning of the NFL season always gets me excited and I stay that way until the playoffs. After that it depends on how we do whether or not depression sets in then or after the SB. Last year depression set in when the Ravens broke off those two long runs a the end of our final game in Texas Stadium. The blowout the following week was already a foregone conclusion as it was obvious that the team had given up by then.

The 2008 season pretty much caused my depression.

Only 3 months? I am still throwing the occasional hissy fit over that season's disappointing end.

 

[Stash]

As others have eloquently said, sometimes the Cowboys actually cause depression.

 

[lurkercowboy]

As a kid, the Cowboys season opener went a long way toward dulling the depression brought on by the end of summer vacation.

 

[DEZBRYANT x88x]

I think it causes mass hysteria not depression.

But glad the season is upon us.

 

[DallasDomination]

it's a rollercoaster of emotions watching the cowboys.

I can only make a guess from a clinical standpoint.

But after the head injury occurred and I was between Cowboys Heaven and life (such as it is) I think the Cowboys pulled me through. Them and "Cops" filmed on location with the men and women of law enforcement.

I would see the nurse's eye look into the peephole to see if I needed more of that meducation. If I was feeling hostile they'd bring in their gorilla unit, two big guys and a svelte nurse to do the injecting.... boy was I a rebel. My head injury gave me the strength of two Gurodes and two of Wade Phillips' kids.

But, when they let me have a TV and got to watch the Cowboys and news about the Cowboys I found myself getting better and better.
One day a panel of meducal experts axed me if I could function outside the walls of that place.
I tolt them I could not only function but one day, when they were getting in their car or turning off the sprinklers at night they would turn and see me standing there, functioning alright and mad for the shick they put me through.
Well, for that they kept me 3 more months for more metal plate therapy and counseling and made me see the Ludovico therapy tape, which they administered between bites of succulent steak as my reward.

But back to my premise of cowboys being good for you.
When they proclamed me cured, I not only had a head plate that I could crush walnuts against I also had an appreciation for being at peace with my fellow man and loving the Cowboys even more -- if that is possible.

Now the only people I hate wear green jacks with eagles or dark blue with New Yawk. And them stupid raiders fans who think they are all tough and all but I could make them cry if I really wanted to.

Yes, the Cowboys are gud for depression even when Wade Phillips is on the sidelines!

Last season probably caused a lot more depression then it cured

strike that...reverse it
