You should know that I'm friends with Cowboy Chris in Orlando so it must be something in the water here. These guys must get hundreds of e-mails every day.
Anyhow, here's the set up. Gene wrote an article for ESPN claiming the Steelers do it right, but all the while backhanding us throughout the entire piece. His last line was...welcome to "America's Parade". Well, it usually wouldn't have bothered me, especially the America's Team stuff but I couldn't let it go, so I e-mailed him, maybe not a rant, more sarcastic than anything else but I got a reply in like 2 hours. It's not earth shattering but amusing. Thought you might enjoy it.
My E-Mail to Gene:
Yeah Gene, the Steelers, they absolutely do it right. Nobody mixed the combinations of steroids better than them. Oh, ask Mike Webster how that worked out for him.
...and ask the Seahawks how the NFL officials clinics are going?
And please, we'd all have more respect for you if you just said you hated the Cowboys. Yeah, they are a train wreck, but THE most popular train wreck. Ratings, merchandise, fans etc. The fact that you found a way to wrap an entire article around your disingenuous references to the Cowboys does little more than cement the tag, including the lame reference to "America's Parade"...that was just awful.
I understand that you're nervous...despite the Cowboys' problems, they still have the talent to win it all for a few years to come.
Don't worry though, we'll save you a seat at the parade.
Gene's Reply: (Notice he gets riled up with the CAPS)
I don't hate the Cowboys, but you can't call Dallas America's Team when YOU can't even win ONE playoff game. And, yes, they have talent. that's the point: they have talent and yet still can't win A playoff game. They couldn't even GET IN the playoffs this year. Win SOMETHING.
Glad he doesn't HATE us.
He's right of course, but I couldn't let it go.
