My mind says 25 but my body definitely says 45 lol.Heh heh... well, if my oldest son has a child the same time I first became a father-- then I could be a grandpa in 4 years lol
Don't get me wrong-- middle aged doesn't mean boring lol... but I guess when you have been married nearly 20 years and have teenagers you just accept the stage of life you're in
This is depressing. 25 years to go for me. lol
Hell, you're already heading downhill. Lol
I'm fifty, gonna retire soon and start living all over again. Hopefully, I'll have a few years to enjoy it.Heh heh... well, if my oldest son has a child the same time I first became a father-- then I could be a grandpa in 4 years lol

Thats the way I feel, I live in Giants country and I have to listen to them tell me to go get a vhs tape to watch our last SB
Thanks, Been coaching for 30 years, long hours in Texas.
Quality over quantity, more power to you, if you can have them both.Downhill? Nah. Just found some perspective and meaning in my 40 years on this rock that keeps me focused and anchored.
I am 100% fine with getting older
Like I said, it was odd. These were older fans and they were all "How could that scumbag do that to coach Landry!" I'm sure the young Gnats fans of today couldn't care less. The old Giants fans still had a lot of love for him even though he beat them mercilessly.

They don't come around often, I have been a fan since 1968 and have watched all the Super Bowl Wins for the Cowboys and when Dallas lost Super Bowls. So enjoy and hope Dallas goes all the way this year and gets # 6
This is a case of people creating a narrative in their head because it's what they want to believe despite the fact that it makes no sense.
Amen, brother.I've been a fan since the early 80's. I was born in '76. Seen a lot of football. Weathered some lean, harsh years and experienced the thrills of more than my fair share of highs as a fan.
I realize we've suffered a LOT of disappointments as Dallas fans the past 20 years. A lot.
BUT-- I feel compelled to speak from my heart for a moment. IMO-- this season represents a key watershed moment for this franchise. A distinct cultural shift has occurred, and this team has "locked in" as professionals in a way that I haven't seen since Troy retired.
They have a fresh, hungry, focussed mentality I haven't seen since the 90's. There is a renewed passion for the game I haven't seen since Irvin was on the sideline. They have found their champions heart again. I just want to pause and acknowledge the new beginning in front of us. Out of the ashes of a 4-12 disaster last year, after hope was lost when Romo was writhing on the field in Seattle this pre-season-- out of 20 years of futility and frustration-- this team has FINALLY been reborn.
This is bigger than just what has happened this season-- they are now set up for success for the next decade. IMO-- we are witnessing the foundations of a championship legacy.
Enjoy it friends.... I'm for sure not the longest tenured fan on this board-- but I am old enough to know that these moments don't come around very often.
Agreed. If I recall correctly, Jerry was trying to handle it diplomatically, but a local TV station caught wind of Jerry having dinner with Jimmy and was breaking the story of Jerry about to fire Tom and replace him with his old college roommate. That forced an uncomfortable timeline on Jerry. Jerry was guilty of not understanding the media circus he was inheriting surrounding the Cowboys. He didn't handle the situation perfectly, but Bum, Tex, and Tom didn't make it any easier on him.
