Congrats! Great lady!!!! Now the important question - when was the last time u attended a game in person and did we win? No offense but I gotta know if you’re bringing the good mojo or not.
Keep riding it out and print this for your wife as a hint if you need.
Great question and last live appearance to see DC play was the NFC division playoff game against the Eagles in 1996 which we won. It's been a long time coming.
Dang, I guess I better lawyer up. Wonder what Corso charges by the hour? Bring it on baby!!
Even better!! Thanks

Very fortunate/blessed in those departments.
Now THAT was funny!!
Nice...ironically my first 8 games watching the Cowboys were home wins. We had season tickets in 1980 (Danny White's first year as a starter) and we went 8-0 at home that year. Then the FOLLOWING YEAR (81 season) we went 8-0 again at home where I was at every game. So you know I was feeling myself that I was the lucky charm and that every time I attended a game, our team won! Fast forward a few years and I went to several other games, including the NFC championship game at the Stick...we won them all! You're seeing a pattern here. Alas, my streak ended in 2005 when we played an away game at Seattle (a game that we completely dominated btw) and Bledsoe had a late game meltdown (as well as the defense) and we ended up losing on a last second FG. That broke my streak!?! I had been about 20-0 up to that point. The irony about that loss...I was having a meal at one of my fave steak houses at that time in Seattle (The Metropolitan Grill?) the night before the game. I am washing up in the restroom and whom do I see at the sink rt next to me??? Terrance Newman! I gave him a hardy greeting (without trying to make it too awkward since we were in the bathroom and all...lol) and he was very cool!
Hilarious and I get it. I had the same superstitions in the early 90's. Same position/seat on the couch, wearing same jersey/clothes, drinking the same brand of beer during the game. Eating at the same restaurant ordering the same food before the game. Deep down I still carry a few of those superstitions with me today. I hope to carry the streak forward on Sunday for sure!!Nice...ironically my first 8 games watching the Cowboys were home wins.

I, of course, opened my big mouth about the win streak with me in attendance, which Terrance seemed excited about. As I sat in the stands dejected after the gut-wrenching loss, I cursed myself for having offended the football gods...they heard my boast and sought harsh retribution for my pride...to this day I blame myself for that loss.
Good job and those acts of good intent always pay off in the long run. Luckily my wife is a sports fan so this came a little easier to her as well.
