Cowboys fans letting it all hang out
By Jeff Pearlman

Updated: September 19, 2007, 12:12 PM ETDALLAS
Like moths to a flame, the geeks file in … three, four, five at a time, some chanting "C-O-W-B-O-Y-S!" others talking loudly of the inevitability of a sixth Super Bowl title.
"This is the year!" shouts Brandon, a 33-year-old accountant. "We can't be stopped! Cowboys all the way!" "Whoooooooooo!" adds Mike, a plumber. "Cowboys in '07!"
On this night of NFL openers, similar scenes take place all over the city of Dallas. In sports bars, fans go crazy. In the Texas Stadium parking lot, patrons excitedly file out after their team's 45-35 victory over the Giants. But it is here, at the famed Men's Club of Dallas, where the instant elation over a strong start for America's Team can best be measured.
"If you come here and the Cowboys are on a roll," one dancer says, "you'll know it."
Indeed. When the Cowboys lose and the city is, well, blah over its football team, the Men's Club's dancers often find themselves strutting topless before bartenders, waitresses and far too many empty seats. But when hope fills the air and the Cowboys are the talk of the town, the Men's Club turns into a living, breathing, oozing ode to breasts, beers and football.
"As the Cowboys go, we go," says Apple, a 19-year-old dancer. "When they win and the fans are psyched, tips are higher, customers come more often … everything is great."
During the Cowboys' triumph over the Giants, everything is great. Fans roar with delight. Dollar bills are stuffed between artificial breasts with reckless abandon. All of the establishment's 20-something televisions are tuned to the big game, even as women strut to and fro, tempting men to give in to a $20 lap dance. "No better way to celebrate a Super Bowl," raves one man, "than with a little T and A!"
It is, in many ways, a flashback to the halcyon days of the 1990s, when the Cowboys of Michael Irvin ruled the league and the Cowboys of Michael Irvin ruled the Men's Club. Back then, the Dallas secondary was known to occasionally hold its weekly positional meeting at a Men's Club table; Barry Switzer, the team's coach from 1994 to '97, raved about the club on his radio program; a wide receiver was even banned from the club for having multiple sexual escapades with strippers in one of the phone booths (free tip from your good friends at ESPN.com: Bring a cell).
Perhaps the establishment's greatest fame came March 4, 1996, when a police officer knocked on the door of room 624 of the Residence Inn in Irving, Texas, and found Irvin, cocaine … and a former Men's Club dancer named Angela Beck.
Good pub, bad pub, it mattered not. The Cowboys were hot and, hence, so was the Men's Club. Now, after more than decade of mediocre play, fruitless drafts (Where art thou, Kavika Pittman?), mounting fan indifference and one too many Chad Hutchinson sightings, the Cowboys -- and, by association, the Cowboys' favorite strip club -- are back. On this night, the Men's Club goes so far as to charter a bus to carry fans from the establishment to the game and, come fourth quarter, back to the club for some more T and A.
"For us, the best thing is when the Cowboys win," Apple says. "That means they're willing to spend the dollars."
Will the Cowboys, indeed, win? With a 2-0 start, there's reason for optimism.
"I think we've turned the franchise around," says one fan who sports a Julius Jones jersey but won't reveal his name. "A lot of people got sick of Bill Parcells and his strict ways. But with Romo, TO, the young defense, I think we're on to something. At least I'm excited."
He sure is. Moments after finding a seat, the fan's face is smothered between a stripper's breasts. Nearby his pals grin wickedly. Are they thrilled their 24-year-old chum has finally touched a woman? Are they elated by the sight of the strategically placed blue-and-red tattoo above the dancer's rear end? Are they intrigued by the unlimited possibilities the Men's Club seems to afford?
Nope, nope and nope.
They are watching TV … and the Cowboys have scored yet again.

LOL Leave it to ESPN to make nothing out of ....nothing.
Doesn't EVERY fan for EVERY team, no matter the sport, think "This year is our year" ? Isn't that what being a "FAN" is all about? Or does ESPN prefer that people not be hyped about their sport, about their team and oh, I dunno, somehow use a measured sense of reality when assessing the prospects for the coming season?
I mean...isn't it ESPN that loves to show those J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS fans at their full coverage of the NFL Draft every year?
If anything, it's a network like ESPN that has made the fans more ravenous with wall to wall coverage of every juke, dink, dunk, pass, catch, scramble, tackle and "JACKED UP" hit we see on SportsCenter, NFL Live, NFL Primetime, Sunday NFL Countdown, Monday NFL Countdown? Why do they handsomely pay personalities like Chris Berman to bellow out funny quips and make funny voices and noises when presenting highlights? Why pay Stuart Scott to keep it cool as the other side of the pillow?
ESPN banks on the hype. ESPN banks on guys like these at the gentlemen's club going home and watching highlights on their shows after the game (and maybe a lapdance or 10). ESPN banks on it all. Those beer guzzling, boobie hungry, Dallas Cowboys fanatics guys pay Jeff Pearlman's bills.
If not for the hype, the excitment and the build up of every new season, there'd be no need for all that ESPN does. They could just have a monochrome screen showing box scores.
..sorry didn't mean to rant

Perhaps you guys needed some background info on this.
ESPN posted a bunch of articles today that tie into a similar theme... that theme being the overreaction of fans in various NFL cities. This was the Dallas article of that series.
There is another one on the knee-jerk reaction for Jets fans wanting Kellen Clemons to take over, another on angry Bears fans calling into a radio station to complain after a win... and so forth.
Whether you thought it was a "tasteless" article because of the strip club angle is another story. I wasn't offended by it.

The Men's club has always been busy and always will be, with or without the success of the Cowboys. If they relied on that, they would have been out of buisness 7 years ago.
Apple, was just a kid [still is] when the Cowboys were winning SB's. So how would she know. Just from what she is told probably.
I haven't been there for years, I guess I'll need to stop in and see what Apple looks like.
