Cowboyjoe: So, lets start from the beginning for some of you fans that might not know where this all really started and finish up to the present today. Some call the Cowboys Commanders rivalry the greatest of all time in sports, while some say that the rivalry isnt that much anymore due to the way the Cowboys beat the skins handly last year. This rivalry does have a rich tradition of winning between the 2 franchises with the total of 31 combined division titles and 10 NFL Championships, while owners Jerry Jones and Daniel Synder duke it out over who is the weathiest owner and the shinest owner with glitz and glamour. We will look at that deeply and honestly later, but lets see really where this all started. I am sure I am going to miss something here, so most likely Hostile will straighten me out with his superior vastly knowledge of the skins and cowboys rivalry.
Back in 1958, the Cowboys wanted to become a franchise in the NFL with soon to be owner Clint Murchison Jr trying to bring a team to the Dallas Area. In fact, Murchison was set to buy 2 NFL franchises and buy one of them from owner George Preston Marshall. Sure enough (to me this is where the Commanders got their legacy of being down right sneaky and underhanded), about the time Murchison was going to buy the team from Marshall, sneaky Marshall (ala sneaky skins) changed the ramifications of the deal, which caused Murshison to cancel the whole cotton picking deal. I was only 5 years old at the time, so was kinda sketchy what I was hearing from my dad, with a possible NFL team coming to the Cowboys. So, Murchison propably thought to himself, ok skunk Marshall you want to play that way, 2 can play that way, you havent seen the way a good ole texan can fight underhanded too.
Some where around here, Marshall the cheap scape and tight wad, got into a squable of sorts with his Deadskins band director Barnee Beeskin, who had written the music to the Commanders fight song. Yep, partner, you hit the nail on the head. To me, you always fight fire with fire, so after Beeskin contacted Murshison lawyer and sold him the rights to the fight song, that I do believe Marshall's wife wrote the lyrics to the song, for a measely $2,500 dollars. Good ole Dallas native Murchison came in on the deal. Now, to me as any of you should know, any time your wife is involved in some kind of deal that you own or hold rights to, and that gets taken away from you, kinda like letting the cat out of the bag so to speak. You cant let it get away, because the wife is after your rear end to fix what you goofed up in the first place.
Now, this is where it gets dicey and down right good, with some he said, you said back and forth between the 2 parties involved, kinda like 2 old hound dogs biting and scratching at each other, if you get my drift. Or kinda like George Preston Marshall catching his pants on his own pitchfork, due to his underhanded sneaky dealings. Clint Murchison Jr, then tried to lobby for a franchise in the NFL with the help of good old papa George Halas. The only objection was coming from, yep, you guessed it, George Marshall. However, when little old George Preston Marshall found out that Murchison had the rights to the Commanders fight song, that his wife had helped write the lyrics too, Marshall was hooked line and sinker. Yep, the Skins were finally scalped by the Cowboys and they hadnt even played a game yet.
Now, were not done here, dont think that was the end of the fight or scrape between the owners and the team. Getting approval from the league for the rights for the Dallas Cowboys to come into the league in the NFL, although the Cowboys would be in a different division than the Commanders were at that time. Some of you know, that the Cowboys came into the league late to have any rights to select players in the NFL draft. (I am still ticked off about this till this day, another reason why we owe the skins, because of Marshall delaying us from coming into the NFL in time for the draft). So, with the Cowboys being an expansion team and no players to select in the draft, they were allowed to pick players from teams in the league. So, what did Murchison do to tick off George Preston (scalped) Marshall. The Cowboys picked Commanders QB Eddie LeBaron, starting some more fueding, because Marshall had forgotten to put Lebaron on the teams protected list. So, the feud really started but good then.
Yep, you guessed it, the first game between the skins and cowboys was played on October 9th, 1960, and the skins won, hooting and hollering at us, and rubbing it in but good. While the owners took some parting shots at each other too. So, the skins beat us fairly well the first couple of years, probably Hostile can help me out here, but to best of my memory the Cowboys werent that good the first 3 or 4 years, till 1965. Now, this is where it gets good and interesting with fans getting involved in the action hot and heavy.
Somewhere around in December I do believe, a number of good ole Texans snuck into D C Stadium, ready to do battle armed with chicken feed and put the chicken feed onto the field late at night. Now what happened because I am sure you want to know? The skins had some kind of show on during the halftime show, with some kind of dogs pulling Santa Claus onto the field. Well the good ole texans not to be outdone by the skins fans rubbing it in on us, planned to release a the chickens they had in cages, onto the field at halftime.
About 50 or so chickens, best I think, but thats not the good part yet, even though your probably busting a gut laughing. The good ole texans (bless their little old heart for thinking of such a thing to get back at the skins fans), had picked some chickens that were white and some that were black. At that time in the NFL, Marshall would not let african american players play on his team, hince the black and white chickens. Thre were some words exchanged behind that theology. The chickens were discovered right before halftime, but the damage had been done. Fireworks between owners, fans and players were just starting to get heated up hot and heavy. Even one fan snuck into Marshalls hotel room one night, and put a large turkey into Marshalls bathroom. Sure enough, when Marshall went in to grab the turkey, the fight was on again. Marshall had this to say after trying to apprehend the turkey. Chickens are nice, but a grown man shouldnt fool around trying to grab a mad turkey.
So, what happened at that game, while Marshalls wife beloved song was playing, Hail to the Commanders, some banners were unveiled at each 50 yard line, by some die hard dallas cowboy fans, saying CHICKENS, and 2 acrobats hired by cowboy fans, rushed onto the field dressed up like chickens throwing colored eggs, while releasing a chicken here and there onto the field and in the stands. Sure enough, the cowboys won that game, chickens and all, 38 - 10. and the fight was on now.
if you like this, i will add some more,

TK, I don't know if my opinion matters () but I'd recommend adding cowboys-forum.com to your forum list. In my opinion, it is better than cowboyszone. I never have liked that forum. I have an account, but I never post there. CF.com has a better look to it and has better posters (me )
We have a few Skins fans who post fairly regularly during the season. Obviously nowhere near as many as there are Cowboys fans on here, but then again, ES is a much larger community.
Does this count as spam?
