Many of you may be equal, but none of you are a bigger Cowboys fan then I

[Daudr]

I am not questioning anyone on this boards fanhood because I know most of you are great Cowboy fans. Many of you on here probaly don't know me because I dont make controversial threads and I dont post often because I'd rather read what other people have to say. Anyway, I was sitting in my room last night thinking to myself though, who out there is actually a BIGGER fan than me? Allow me to go into detail:

1) I have not missed a game in 10yr (I am 21)
2) I pay alot of money out of pocket for direct tv so I can see everygame and due to that I'm always broke
3) I drive an hour and ahalf home every sunday morning if Dallas isnt televised so I can see the game. (How many of you would do that?)
4) Living 5 mins from philly,it takes more balls to be a Cowboys fan here then anywhere else in the country
5) I have just as much Cowboys gear/memorbilia then anyone on this board
6) i have the star tatood on me for life
7) Ive been in 3 physical altercations over my team
8) I have turned down sex for Cowboys games
9) I have never ever turned off a Cowboys game till the last second, whether we were up 40 or down 40
10) I watch pregame, the game, and postgame till the network switches to something else
11) This website is my homepage and I visit it atleast 3X/day
12) How many of you on here havent witnessed your favorite team win a playoff game? Since I was old enough to understand and care about football, I have never witnessed the Dallas Cowboys win a playoff game, and I still am passionate as anyone could be.
13) For the last couple of years, I have eaten Thanksgiving in THE OTHER ROOM BY MYSELF SO I COULD SEE THE TV. I'd argue that almost none of you do that. Call me stupid for it, but I'm not missing a game or a play for anything.

There are many other reasons why I am Boys fan, but these ones stuck out to me. I am not dissing people on this board because I realize some of you are just as great a fan as I am, but I will argue that any of you are greater.

Life Priorities:
1) Family and Friends
2) School
3) Dallas Cowboys Football:starspin

Try living overseas and doing contortions with the radio antenna just so you could barely pick up the Armed Forces Radio broadcast of the games. That was me in the 70s.

Try paying for and attending games during a 1-15 and 3-13 season. That was me in the 80s.

There are a lot of us that have lived through a lot worse for the Cowboys and our love for the team.

You have a long ways to catch up to me being a Dallas Cowboys fan;

1. I have watched the dallas cowboys since 1966 and I have never missed a game.
2. I have alot of Dallas Cowboys stuff on my wall too, my bed, etc.
3. I have about 54 dallas Cowboys signatures and I have met about 67 Dallas Cowboys players down through the years.
4. I watched the Cowboys even before 1966, but became a total Cowboys fan in the ice bowl. Being little you dont remember too much, so thats the reason for not remembering too much before 1966.
5. I have seen the cowboys through the dark years, then win in 1972, then win again in 1977, then start losing through the years till 1990. Saw the cowboys lose the big catch in 1983 for example. Then saw the Cowboys win superbowls, while I was there at 2 training camps. Then saw the cowboys lose for 13 years.
6. I have helped the Dallas Cowboys win a game, yes a game. Charley Waters wasnt holding the ball correctly on field goal attempts for Herrea. I wrote Tex Schramn & Gil Brandt, rest is history, no more missed field goals. The Dallas Cowboys even moved my season tickets from the 2nd level at Texas Stadium to 1st level at the 25 yard line to keep watching field goals. Tex Schramn sent me a thank you letter etc. That same year in February I gave a package folder to John Wooten former All Pro Offensive Guard, whom gave the articles to Tom Landry. Two to 3 weeks later Tom Landry put in the shotgun formation.
7. I sent another document to Dave Campo, this article helped me win 2 tickets to a Cowboys game as reward.
8. I won 4 VIP sideline passes to San Antonio training camp.
9. I won $500 gift card on Dallas Cowboys scratch off lottery ticket.
With the above gift card, I have now even more Dallas Cowboys stuff.
10. I have talked to Tex Schramn, Tom Landry, Alicia Landry, Jerry Jones among a few others in Cowboys organization.
11. I had a dream that the LORD showed me, which counting this as year 1, we would go to the super bowl in year 2. Wasnt revealed to me who the head coach of the Cowboys would be at that time or even if we would win. All I was shown that we be in the SuperBowl in year 2.
12. I have been on several trivia contests and easily beat several tough, tough Dallas Cowboys fans. Even a few said I was very tough.
13. I know about 9 writers and media personnel that covers the Dallas Cowboys. On several occassions, I have told a few of these writers info before they got Dallas Cowboys info or got Cowboys info from espn. I have like 32 direct sources that I use to keep up with the Dallas Cowboys.
14. I have wrote several stories, some of them good, some of them bad, but I keep improving, while giving recaps on Cowboys to Cowboys fans on this board.
15. I have several personal Dallas Cowboys football cards autographed.
Two of them with a personal letter from one of them, Roger Staubach, he even gave me a black and white photo of Calvin Hill in a minny game catching a pass from Roger the Dodger. Another one of my cherished items is a book that Drew Pearson signed, he wanted to know where I got the Dallas Cowboys book, etc and we talked a pretty good while.
16. I have won several Dallas Cowboys tickets on other occassions.
17. I have said plenty of prayers on the behalf of the Dallas Cowboys.
18. About 4 years or earlier when this board just started getting going, the NFL Draft wasnt as big as it is now among NFL fans. I gave plenty of links, sites, etc for the NFL Draft covering the Dallas Cowboys. Even one of my friends on this board, helped me in some areas regarding the NFL Draft etc for all of my preceding coverage on the NFL Draft. A few fans asked me if i was the CowboyJoe that did post some stuff way back and give info on the NFL draft before it was real big.
19. I have close to 9,500 posts, how many do you have?

Even with all of this, I know I am not that big a fan compared to DC Fanatic or Hostile, or Woodsgirl or Theebs and some others, but yes, I am a Die Hard Dallas Cowboys fan and would be hard to beat me.

There are many more things, but those are off the top of my head.
So, yes you have along ways to go to catch up to me as a top Dallas Cowboys fan,

I'm Joe's #1 fan. :toast:

Got any free tix Joe?

[Biggems]

Hey Romosapien, you need to give up the Pens crap. I get enough of that here in western PA. I can't stand the Stillers, or the Pens. And it all boils down to the cocky fans and those stupid announcers for both the Stillers and the Pens, especially the Pens announcer. That dude gets on my nerves for the way he calls the game. The Steeler announcers, Wolfy, Bill Hillgrove or Hargrove, they are all annoying and sound like they are missing something up top.

Any way, love that you love America's Team. Keep on keeping on. Just lose the Pens while you're at it. Try the Dallas Stars. :

Ive been a Pens fan since the late 80s, but its kind of hard to follow them down here in San Antonio. I am so glad cable came up with Versus and the NHL Network....so now I have a greater chance to see my Pens. I hate the Flyers and Wings.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

This is why I don't always post because theres internet thugs all over this board that get off to getting on people. I never said I am the GREATEST fan, but for my age, theres not much more you can do than me. Financially, I do not have the money to fly to Dallas and watch the games. I forget who called me dumb but I have a 3.4 gpa in college which is not easy. I stated earlier that I am not bashing a single person on this thread, just trying to show off my pride

Any relation to Charlie Waters?

i think there is nothing wrong with showing your pride of being a dallas cowboys fan. Like i said, we all are unique and different, but we all have something to contribute to being a dallas cowboys fan in some way or another.

Yep, I had a 3.8 in gpa, not hard to keep that up, then i took a course i shouldnt have and nose dived my gpa. But for one year, I had a real good gpa.

That's cool. I'm just not a big hockey fan in general. I will follow the Stars as much as possible, just don't get any games here unless the Pens play them, which they don't this season. Oh well.

I dunno. I just can't stand any of the announcers for any PA team. You're cool in my book for loving the Cowboys.

 

[cowboyjoe]

Any relation to Charlie Waters?

yep thats him, i wrote him about when he wasnt holding the ball for the field goal attempt etc, when he was writing stories for the cowboys a few years back.

trust me they cant be worse than Celtics, Suns, Mavs, or Skins announcers. The worst for me though, is that JT the Brick guy or is it Scott Farnam, who does the Pac 10 games every weekend on TV. He is so annoying.

 

[CATCH17]

judging by your join date and # of posts I don't believe you. this site is like crack for any Cowboys fan.

It really is.

http://img31.*************/img31/2610/galleries15horrifyingco.png

BB, she don't look half bad, especially after a six pack or two. I look a that picture and give the guy credit.....he dated up, way up......

 

[TheSkaven]

These reasons don't even get you in the vicinity of being the best fan let alone put you at the top. If I could offer a rebuttal...

1) I have not missed a game in 10yr (I am 21)

I missed 1 game in 18 years, the MNF at Seattle where Julius Jones went off. I was in Germany.

2) I pay alot of money out of pocket for direct tv so I can see everygame and due to that I'm always broke

I have DirecTV, Superfan, and usually fly down to Dallas (or go to the Eagles-Cowboys game in Philadelphia). I have a 500 square foot Cowboys themed home theater room with a 100" projection screen, Cowboys themed bar with blue silestone and complete glassware set.

3) I drive an hour and ahalf home every sunday morning if Dallas isnt televised so I can see the game. (How many of you would do that?)

I thought you just said that you had DirecTV? And yeah, I'd do that. In the old days, I used to switch my address to a frat house in Dallas with DirecTV so I could get the Dallas local channels and see the pre-season games (that trick doesn't work anymore).

4) Living 5 mins from philly,it takes more balls to be a Cowboys fan here then anywhere else in the country

Me too. And I wear my jersey to the home games.

5) I have just as much Cowboys gear/memorbilia then anyone on this board

Doubtful. I've been collecting them for 30 years, and since everyone knows I'm a Cowboys fan, it's usually get for birthdays, Christmases, etc. I won't bother listing everything I have, but it's really quite insane.

6) i have the star tatood on me for life

Me too.

7) Ive been in 3 physical altercations over my team

Living here this is natural, but I try to avoid the fistacuffs, I'm usually with my wife and children.

8) I have turned down sex for Cowboys games

That's easy.

9) I have never ever turned off a Cowboys game till the last second, whether we were up 40 or down 40

Ditto.

10) I watch pregame, the game, and postgame till the network switches to something else

I usually switch to the Cowboys' post game show or highlight shows.

11) This website is my homepage and I visit it atleast 3X/day

I visit it often too, including from my iPhone when I have a spare minute.

12) How many of you on here havent witnessed your favorite team win a playoff game? Since I was old enough to understand and care about football, I have never witnessed the Dallas Cowboys win a playoff game, and I still am passionate as anyone could be.

That really does suck, I feel for you on that.

13) For the last couple of years, I have eaten Thanksgiving in THE OTHER ROOM BY MYSELF SO I COULD SEE THE TV. I'd argue that almost none of you do that. Call me stupid for it, but I'm not missing a game or a play for anything.

Everyone who knows me knows that I watch the game. Anything or anyone that interferes with the game leaves. But I'd argue most people on here are the same.

Here are some of my additional points:

1) Already mentioned the full home theater room,:
a) painted in full Cowboys' colors
b) with two fat heads,
c) 100" screen projection TV, Cowboys' vending machine,
d) a "Wall of Fame" with signed, frame posted and jerseys from 70's and 90's greats,
e) the flag (which I also fly in front of my house - in Philly)
f) helmets, bobbleheads,
g) the blue bar with a big star carved into the middle

2) I drive a Cowboys' blue Porsche Boxster S with magnetic Cowboys' star on the side (again, IN PHILLY - though I never park it anywhere I don't trust)

3) I can name every starting player from each of the Championship teams

4) I have Jerry Jones Jr's e-mail address and once exchanged e-mails with him (I begged him to ask his father to trade for Galloway - my bad)

5) I've raised two young Cowboys fans, and converted another (my wife, originally from the Bronx and former Giants' fan)

Where does it say I'm a "Pens" fan?

I lived the first 37 years of my life in Dallas Texas. I am most decidely a Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks, Stars fan. I just happen to live in Trashadelphia now.
