I know I gave you a hard time for being a "rah rah" guy last week, but (and I'm being 100% honest, here) the more I stopped caring about the Dallas Cowboys, the better my life has been. And, no, I'm not joking.
I had spent way too many years emotionally tied and invested in this teams successes and (WAY MORE) failures. When they would lose it would, literally, ruin a string of days. When they won, I couldn't get enough NFL talk radio, forums, etc.
I made the decision last year to quit wasting my Sundays on this team. I stopped living for the Dallas Cowboys and started living for myself on that day. Doubled up my weekend rounds of golf and have had an absolute blast ever since. If the game falls outside of my tee time, I'll watch. If not? Meh. Who cares. I've seen TWO games this season. The Rams game and the Seahawks game. Both re-affirmed that this team isn't worth my time, right now. Worth my passing interest? Sure. But I'm not wasting another minute better spent doing other things that are more worthy of my attention.
I'll always love the Dallas Cowboys. It's in my DNA. Switch to another team? NEVER. But until this clown show demonstrates that it's worth the investment, it's a big nope for me. And, frankly, my life is ten times better off for it. I'll keep checking in with you guys and gals. I'm hoping this team makes it all worth your investment. In the meantime, my time is my time during the football season. For the most part, I'm just over it.
Go Cowboys.
