Just keeping it real - this team is hard to like

I'm not trying to judge you but this is perhaps the most emotional post I've ever seen from you. That said, I agree ENTIRELY.

Interesting. I wrote one about my Dad’s death this summer that was definitely more emotional, at least to me.

And honestly, I don’t get emotional about the Cowboys anymore. I don’t get too excited if they win or lose either way. I do have some strong feelings about why America’s Team has turned into America’s Train Wreck but nothing I get emo about.

I'm sorry, man. I spaced on the post about your dad. I really meant no offense. <3

I think my point was that things must really be bad for all die hard fans if you, who seems stoic most of the time, makes the kind of post you did. I'll just shut up now. Heh.

No offense taken at all my friend. Your point is valid.

I’m one of those fans who believe in keeping it real, even with my favorite team the Cowboys, and even after a win that barely happened today.

Sorry man, I can’t pretend that this team is anything more than its mid-season record so clearly says that it is. After 9 games - 54% of the season - this is a below average football team. And 100% embarrassing too. Below average might even be generous.

Yes we beat probably the worst team in the NFL today despite 15 penalties, including the most ridiculous and at the same time appropriate symbol of this organization’s putrid culture. Watching this team get a 15 yard penalty when DeMarvion Overshown just decided to run on the field in his sideline attire to party down like a high school kid in a parking lot was the perfect metaphor of this organization.

Then watching our pitifully overmatched HC handle the last few minutes of the game allowing the dolts to tie the game. Then acted like this team had accomplished something when he praised his players for their “heart” in his postgame word salad. Please.

It all perfectly lines up for an organization untethered to reality. JerryJones and his entitled family have turned America’s Team into a cautionary tale of hubris, arrogance and greed, One word describes it for me: Embarrassing.

So I guess I want them to win. Half heartedly now if I’m truthful. Because even making the playoffs with something like an 8-9 or 7-10 record only extends the misery of this team and this sham of an organization.

I hate to admit it but I’m just keeping it real man. This team is really hard to like. They perfectly represent the lazy, entitled people who own this thing like it’s their personal yacht on a long holiday. Like a 31 year holiday to be exact.

I forgot to watch the first half

This season has such a “will they get in with 9 wins “ type of feel


So what the whole journey comes down to a wildcard game against Greenbay at home? Feels unearned

I was out shopping with the wife. When we were through, I asked if she wanted to see a movie or go somewhere else. She said, "Aren't the Cowboys on?" I said, " Yeah, but it's not a big deal." I don't plan around it anymore.
