If you had been asked which Dallas franchise would not win a championship in next 30 years

[ArtClink]

In 1996, I would have picked the Texas Rangers to not win a championship for 30 years. The Rangers have not only won a championship since then, so have all the other DFW teams since then.

In fact, if we look playoff performance among the 4 DFW major sports teams, the Cowboys are at the bottom of the barrel.

• Rangers: 1 World Series Championship, 3 AL championships
• Stars: 1 Stanley Cup championships, 4 Western conf championships, 6 conference championship appearnces.
• Mavericks: 1 NBA championship, 3 Western conference championships, 5 western conference championship appearnces.
• Cowboys: Zero SB championships, zero conference championship appearances.

The Cowboys are the only team of the four whose owner does not hire someone else as the GM. Coincidence?

It’s just bad luck, bad calls, bad drafts, Jerry assuming the role of head coach, introducing Rowdy, hiring every family member to be involved in a business they know nothing about, etc

QB who plays for DC in the XFL is no different than number 4 for the Dallas Cowboys

Don’t insult Romo that way (Dak and Romo have the same stats, playoff wins).

I'll ask you one. Which one of them will win a championship in the future?

Prolly the Mavs. They're in the process of building one heckuva nice team.

Ive always been confused about that way of thinking. Most of the NHL players on every United States team are from Canada and American born players are only under 30%.

In fact a Canadian based hockey team hasn't won a Stanley Cup since 1993!

The Toronto Raptors won the NBA Championship in 2019 so Geographic location of any professional team is almost irrelevant.

Yeah, it's not like the players are from there.

Spurs will be hard to beat.

in 1996, which of the major sports franchises in Dallas would not win a championship in the next 30 years, would you have picked the Rangers, the Mavs, the Stars or the Cowboys?

I was 29 years old, full of piss and vinegar. I would have probably said, I don't give a crap and tell that little guy in the corner, he better not ask me to share my thoughts, again!!

Mavericks for sure.
Stars had a formidable team still. And won the Stanley cup 3 years later.
Rangers were ok. I think.

Yup that is how I remember it, about. Rangers and Stars had coaches that were getting some praise at the time and doing the right things. Mavericks had Jason Kidd I guess. I don't quite remember what year it was where they were saying that the best players on the mavs were all too big headed to work together. I remember the son of Ross Perot being a joke though Mavs didn't start getting interesting until Mark Cuban was the owner.

 

[kskboys]

Spurs will be hard to beat.

Oh, no doubt, but they weren't on that list.

Certainly the Mavs. They were such a bad team, and many thought they wouldn't win it with Dirk. Their championship win was a mini-miracle.

I would've never believed 30 years

 

[Tabascocat]

Mavericks, they were always pretty bad. I didn’t know enough about hockey to pick the Stars.
