This article made the front page of The Huffington Post this morning is written by Eric Marmon. The angst over us winning again is amazing and brings the irrationality out of "journalists, writers, bloggers, high school students...who somehow make it onto national publications.
JOY TO THE WORLD - THE DALLAS COWBOYS LOST!
Some of the nonsense...
"Here's a toast to the Green Bay Packers, who put the football team with the silver star out of our misery. And it really is all of our misery, as the folks who inexplicably have selected the Cowboys as their rooting interest are a fungus-among-us; they exist from coast to coast, bringing out old Starter jackets and reciting Tony Romo's fantasy value like it somehow excuses the fact that they've never stepped foot inside the city of Dallas."
About Dez...
"Of course, when it comes to rooting for someone as dislikable as Dez Bryant, that kind of mindset may be required. The Cowboys hotheaded wide receiver, talented as he may be, has one skill set above them all; he has an incomparable ability to make NFL fans from every wok of life scream at their television screens in unison "Oh my gawd, dude, you are so freaking annoying!"
Watching Bryant's antics on the gridiron is comparable to observing a child throwing a temper tantrum. You know, the kind you spot at the mall or a TGI Fridays. Your gut wrenches as you wonder, "Why isn't this kid mature enough to know how to act in public?"... though those feelings often manifest in the words "Shut up, shut up, shut up!" And through that pit in your stomach, there may be an ounce of sympathy for the parents of this childish-outburst. That is, until you start succumbing to the reality that the entire train wreck of a scene is the result of heavy parental enablement.
And the closer...
"Happily, even with a successful 2014, the 'Boys are nothing more than the league's middle-of-the-pack."
"The glorious endgame, of course, is that if Jones continues to fail as a general manager and an owner, then the fans like Christie will eventually cease to be. Front-runners searching for a winner won't pick the Cowboys -- they haven't been, for nearly 20 years now -- because the Cowboys aren't winners. Jones' mediocrity is driving the worst kind of Cowboy fans into extinction. That's what we should be most thankful for.
Never change, Jer."
After a quick search...get ready...this clown is from Philly. Feel free to send Eric a greeting.
