Philly.com:Why "hated Cowboys"? Let's count the ways

[Wimbo]

lol @ them suggesting the Cowboys cheerleaders have implants.

There isn't a single girl on that squad with overly-large mammaries.

i think you better go see for yourself... make sure of the facts before you report them. Take your time - we can wait.

"Frightening news. Cowboys running back Tashard Choice announced yesterday that he will be ready to play Saturday.

Guess Andy Reid didn't get any sleep last night."




it's all fun and games until Choice busts for 50 through your D line.

Choice has more yards, a full yard per carry advantage, and more TD's than Westbrook this year, and they have had about the same number of carries.

He forgot to mention that Dallas has five Lombardis and they still have none.

 

[dwdj75]

Somewhere around 200 Texans died, compared to possibly 600 Mexicans. I think a Texan can hold it's ground.

Plus, who won that war ?

 

[BoysFanInAustin]

Translation: "We hate Dallas cause they kicked our butts for many years and we're jealous of what they've become. America's team, 5 time SB champs and two of which came along at the Eagles expense in 92 and 95 on the way to the Lombardi"

 

[trickblue]

So just because the Mexicans beat the Texans in a battle in 1836, that means a Texan in 2010 couldn't survive in Philadelphia?

Odd.

Funny how he left out the Battle of San Jacinto...

That passes for writing in Philly? No wonder their fans are stupid.

You gave me the first laugh of the day with that one. Thanks.

I think the whole thing is supposed to be a joke. He's actually pretty self depricating in that most of his reasons to hate the Cowboys are lousy and on several occasions he seems to outright suggest the Cowboys are better and his hate for the Cowboys is illogical.

I think the dead giveaway was that Landry made the "list" for "making the team respectable." along with the fact that he says Irvin would be worshipped if he played for the Eagles, but since he didn't, he's hated.

Why "hated Coboys"? Let's count the ways

DALLAS - Charles Law, a nice but naive Inquirer reader who is excited about tomorrow night's NFC wild-card matchup here, asked in a recent e-mail why the Dallas Cowboys were so often referred to as "the hated Cowboys" in Philadelphia.
Well, Mr. Law, it's obvious you're either new to Philly or don't own a radio, so let me explain.

First of all, the Cowboys are from Texas. There may be another place on earth more dissimilar to Philly, but it's difficult to imagine. We're a hoagie. Texas is mustard. Texas is oil. We're water - and foul-tasting water at that.
The natives are odd, too. They like country music and pressed blue jeans. They also persist in wearing cowboy hats and boots, even though there hasn't been a need for either since LBJ was an LAD. You don't see Philadelphians in tricornered hats and powdered wigs, do you?

Then there's the statewide smugness, best exemplified by the slogan, "Don't Mess With Texas." As I recall, the Mexicans messed with Texas at the Alamo and things didn't work out real well for the locals. It's doubtful a Texan would last a week in Fishtown.

Don't forget Tom Landry. The longtime Dallas coach was a nice man, but as congenitally annoying as Woody Paige. In that silly hat, he resembled a Southern-fried Elmer Fudd. We frequently wanted to smack the lifeless expression off his face.

Landry also was squeaky clean. Philadelphians don't like squeaky clean, with the possible exception of Dick Clark. Landry always brought to mind a prim Sunday school teacher. And for those of us who were swilling beer and ogling the cheerleaders on Sunday afternoons, that wasn't a welcome reminder.

Roger Staubach was squeaky clean, too. Whenever he and Landry huddled on the sideline, I was convinced they were plotting ways to sell me insurance.

And how 'bout them Cowboys cheerleaders?

Philadelphians aren't fooled. Their smiles are obviously phony, their hair too big, their demeanors too perky. Take away the makeup, mousse, and implants - well, the makeup and mousse anyway - and what you're left with are Jersey girls.

We aren't alone in loathing Jerry Jones. Everybody despises him, including the Texans forced to spend $60 for a pizza at his new stadium. There's his face-lift. His hair implants. His toadying sons. His "mine-is-bigger-than-yours" mentality. The man has more shortcomings than the Eagles' defense.

There's more, too: The stars on the helmets. The hole in the roof. Michael Irvin. Deion Sanders. Troy Aikman. Jimmy Johnson. Barry Switzer. Tex Schramm. Leon Lett.

So you see, Mr. Law, we have our reasons. And we'll probably get a few more on Saturday night.

"This just in . . . it's cold." Hysteria is the normal emotional state for morning news anchors, but yesterday's unusually cold weather caused those in Dallas and Fort Worth to turn it up a notch.

They were so apoplectic about the cold snap that it was easy to forget it was sunny and 20-some degrees outside. They reported breathlessly on the school districts that had shut down, the roads that had closed, the long underwear that had been sold.

And yet - there was no snow, no sleet, and very little ice. Just a stiff wind and some subfreezing temperatures.

I guess if you're determined to mess with Texas, it's best to wait until the wind chill is in the teens.

Spite spit. The big buzz down here was that the Eagles' Web site director had spit on the Cowboys' star last Sunday.

His expectoration was not only unhygienic and juvenile, it was yet another indication of why you don't go to team Web sites for objective reporting.

"Of all the driveways in all the world . . . " I'd love to have seen Jerry Jones' face - assuming it hasn't been permanently paralyzed by Botox - when a bus filled with Eagles fans got stuck in his driveway earlier this week.

"Jeeves, what's that ruckus outside?"

"I'm not quite certain, sir. It appears to be a large green vehicle whose occupants persist in chanting 'Dallas Stinks!' "

"That hardly narrows it down."

"They also seem to be spelling out the word 'Eagles.' "

"Oh, it's our friends from Philadelphia."

"Shall I call the police?"

"No, the exterminator."

Frightening news. Cowboys running back Tashard Choice announced yesterday that he will be ready to play Saturday.

Guess Andy Reid didn't get any sleep last night.

Eagles-Cowboys limerick.

In their first loss, the Eagles were drab.

Last weekend, they took jab after jab.

Will they see strike three

On prime-time TV?

If so, we can all blame McNabb.

Showboats redux. As anyone with the stomach to sit through Dallas' shellacking of the Eagles last Sunday now knows, there's a new generation of hot dog in Dallas.

Despite the fact that he played at Monmouth and has had exactly half of one good NFL season, Miles Austin celebrates more often than Paris Hilton.

TRUTH: And if Austin is the new Michael Irvin, then D-back Mike Jenkins is making a bid to become the next Deion Sanders.

Ask North Korea who they would rather invade first, Texas or Pennsylvania? Having a big mouth doesn't make you tough.....By the way ever notice Philly has to rally around a fictional hero to pump them up, you Adrian.....

Yep.

Here is a quote from Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto during World War II.

You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass.

I don't think he was thinking of Philadelphia when he made that claim .

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Chock up another thing they don't understand here.....the whole concept of the Alamo was it was a rallying force for Texans to rise up against the Mexicans and use the Alamo as a battle cry.....therefore you don't "Mess with Texas"

Ugh I love to hate Philly.......

Good Lord,,, lol,,,, that sig is over the top!

[DallasCowboysRule!]

This guy is a complete moron who has obviously never been to rural Texas. He may have been to Dallas or San Antonio but to suggest that Cowboy hats and boots are not needed anymore is ridiculous. Maybe he doesn't realize that there are hundreds of ranchers and farmers in this state and real life cowboys still exist.

And a a small force of less than 200 holding bravely fighting and fending off an army ten to fifteen times its size is a black mark on Texas. Please.
