Michael is wrong, and it really annoys me that he plays right into the hands of all the Cowboy haters out there with these comments.
Any Saints fans reading this? Let me offer you a hypothetical choice.
A. You can go undefeated this season. One championship. End of story.
B. You can lose one of your remaining regular season games, and in doing so, you guarantee your team to win not only the 2009 championship, but the 2010 and 2012 championship as well.
What would you choose?
Anyone who says "A" is either trippin' or clinically insane.
Why does Michael's comments annoy me so much?
It seems he's indirectly stating that if either the 2009 Saints or Colts have a perfect season, they should be remembered as greater team than his 1992-1995 Cowboy teams. Irvin's team won 3 out of 4 Super Bowls, and is one of only two teams to accomplish that.
Cowboy haters on ESPN and FOXSports don't need any more ammunition to beat up on the Cowboys, but Michael gave them just that. :bang2:
Furthermore, I believe the 1992 or 93 Cowboys could have wiped up the football field with the 2009 Saints or Colts. Sure, they're undefeated....the 1992-93 Cowboys could have been undefeated too if they had played in the current NFC South! As we all know, the Cowboys played in the division that had produced the two most recent Super Bowl winners as they went into the 1992 season.
Everybody here remembers the 1993 Thanksgiving Day game against the Dolphins, right? Snow and ice all over the field at Texas Stadium, made it really hard for either team to move the football. On what should have been the final play of the game, the Dolphins missed a field goal which would have insured the win for the Cowboys.....and then, Leon Lett ('nuf said!) The pain of that loss that night made that Super Bowl victory to come so much sweeter for me.
Michael can looooove the Saints if he prefers, but I wouldn't trade the multiple Super Bowl victories in the 90s for just one perfect season. No way.
