Only one thing, Booger buying the team. I would gladly give up the 3 additional rings if that were to have never happened and we don't really know what would have happened had someone else bought it.
I had no problem with Landry, Brandt and Schramm being gone as they had a great run but everything has a life. The party had passed them by.
It's not about the 26 years because I do not need that to be a content fan. It is about him slapping his ugly face on my team and turning it into some kind of caricature that he could exploit for his own ego. Neither Yankees fans had this with Steinbrenner or the Raiders with Crazy Al. Cowboys fans have had to endure something no other fans have ever had to experience.
Other than that, I never had a negative experience with this team that I couldn't find numerous positives to counter that. And to this day, no other record matches the 20 winning seasons in a row. It was both blessing and curse because it could not help but turn those of us around at that time into entitled fans. For a while there, I didn't think we should win; I thought we deserved to win.
I didn't watch them play; I watched them to win and felt cheated if they didn't. I had to learn how to be a realistic fan. I was that dog with his butt in the sunshine every day and used to it. Took me some time to get to the "it is just a game" point where I could truly enjoy it.
And while I do what I can to avoid exposure to that pathetic old fool, it has become increasingly difficult. Might be time to add Booger's face and voice to death and taxes.
