Never Been Prouder To Be A Dallas Cowboys Fan

[Eddie]

I want the Giants and Jets to have the courage to call themselves the NJ Giants and NJ Jets ... because they don't play in NY.

Let's see their fan base disappear after that.

Besides it being a huge media market you mean?

Media market...there are probably just as many (if not more) Cowboys fans in SoCal. That stadium will be our second home.

Another reason in favor of the move.

That's true, but it's not like LA is dominated by any one fanbase. I'd say Raiders, Cowboys, and rams have the most there. Either way, I'm excited. I have a ton of homies in the SCDCFC (SoCal fanclub), and each game there will be a takeover. They had about 100 people at the PS game in SF by themselves. Our tailgate at SD two years ago was about 150 deep.

I live in SF. I went to the Cowboys PS game in Santa Clara and had dreams of watching the Cowboys win the superbowl there. Then Dez got broke. Then Tony got broke. Then better. Then broke again.

As for LA they will build a palace there and it'll sell out 99% of the time and will raise tv rights in the next NFL deal.

Lol. I'm torn between going to SF or MIN next season. I'd go to both if I wasn't already going to Cleveland. I'm selling my home games to attend away games.

The "Dallas" Cowboys franchise is a brand, a huge brand for, well, the Dallas Cowboys, but more importantly, the NFL. It's not an oversight that we are still in the NFC "East" (rivalries) when we are actually geographically located in the South. If the Cowboys left the Eastern division? Well, that will never happen.

 

[CowboyMike]

really? we only have (2) sides here? we have NO ONE in the middle ground who are not happy with some things but are still fans and positive?

yea, kinda extreme i would think but for some reason we cater to the few who pull that crap and slap a wide paintbrush on the rest so we don't have to realize there's more thank black and white to *most* issues. i'm guilty of it also but kinda trying to stop thinking that way cause it's more for convenience than truth.

Read any thread here and tell me if anyone is allowed to express that they like Garrett without being jumped on for it. Any other opinion or middle ground stance is immediately nullified by the majority if you like the head coach.

No, right now this is a volatile place to be if you're a fan that is postive and supports the team.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I know, weird timing right? and to tell the truth, I've been a lil down on the team the last couple weeks. (by down I just mean stuff like not wanting to wear any Cowboys stuff in public etc.) But with the official news tonight of teams leaving their cities behind for LA, and seeing some of the heartbroken and/or angry reactions, Ive never been so happier in my life to have been raised in DFW and a Cowboys fan. I looked up at my wall with the huge Cowboys flag that says DALLAS, and was reassured that we will never have to worry about such a nightmare situation......And I know ALOT of our fanbase couldnt care less where we play because they have no direct connection to DFW or even Texas, but for people like me, the loyalty lies more with Dallas-Ft.Worth.....So yes, hypothetically, if we ever did move to say, even just up the road to OKC, I could not continue to root for em....but again, case in point, we will never have to worry about that!! I think of Mel Brooks in History of the World where he says "its good to be the king"...doesnt roll off the tongue as well, or at all, but, "its good to be a DALLAS Cowboys fan"

Yah.................Im going to have to disagree with you on this one. And it appears from the likes that there do seem to be a few that are also the proudest they have ever been after this season.

I can tell you personally that I have never been more embarrassed to be a Cowboys fan in all my life. And that includes even the Quincy Carter years, and the Campo years.

But more power to you. If you can come off a 4-12 season like this year and be the most proud you have ever been, then that is quite extraordinary.

Would you jump all over me if I told you I thought Matt Cassell was a good QB and should be leading this franchise?

meh, the internet is pretty much a volatile space these days just cause it's easy to be that way w/o having to deal with people in "real life".

does this happen? yes. so it would be pertinent to the people who do this but not all people do. this pretense that i will generasize a problem a minority are exhibiting and say that all are doing it is also an issue. not just here, but everywhere.

 

[Junglist]

Can't speak for the other guy, but he has my support.

I've lived all over DFW. When I leave the area, I tell people I'm from Dallas. For all I care, the Cowboys could move to Fort Worth, they'll still be known as the Dallas Cowboys if they're here.

But it's fun to make jokes

I'm from South Irving, born and raised. On the playground is where I spent most of my days. Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool...shooting some b-ball outside of school....

 

[CowboyMike]

No. We'd talk about it, sure. But I wouldn't attack you or call you names because of it. Most fans were saying exactly that about Cassel a few weeks ago when we benched Weeden, so it's not an unreasonable--albeit unlikely--opinion to have.

I'd love to have a conversation about it if it was realistic, reasonable, and cordial. I certainly wouldn't use it as a qualifier to invalidate anything else you had to say.

There might be some Corky Thatcher comparisons.

Naw, guy...the difference is debating the principals involved without including insults directly at another individual.

Don't make facts or even opinion grounds for insult and demeaning targeted responses.

Even here, you, personally, were never targeted...only the insult and targeting of others, was.

Topical subjects, and supporting points, can be presented without an attached label of fool, idiot, and lame.

 

[Fredd]

lived t he northeast my whole life, never been to a game in Texas...I get what the OP is saying, I am not proud of the 2015 product at all (kinda embarrassed); I may join the OP in his thoughts if I lived close to where Dallas plays; in general, I am, and will always be proud to wear the cowboys moniker...the only thing someone can bust my chops on is if they wear steelers garb, since they have more SB's (currently)....

middle ground = where Fred resides on this topic

You are Sir jones' kind of guy.
Sir, can we have more gruel?

Granted, but you would probably think I was crazy. As would anyone now that would try to say that Cassell is a quality QB. He just isnt. And certainly I wasnt the one saying that Cassell was good when they brought him in. Im not sure who did, if any.

The issue isn't the semantics of Cassel. It's the fact that we'd be willing to discuss it in a civil manner rather than hurl insults and low veiled shots back and forth.

Yah, I think you are missing my point. Cassel has played bad, so no one in their right mind would support him. So it makes sense that people would look at you funny if you did support him.

You brought up Garrett and people not liking anyone that supports him. Im trying to get my point across without getting into discussion about you know who.
