Talk of past playoff failures during the summer is a waste of emotional energy

[nate dizzle]

The decision not to dwell on the past is NOT amnesia. We remember. We CHOOSE to have a positive outlook.

Listen, I attended my first Texas Rangers game as a 7 year old boy in 1973. I maintained hope for 50 years until the Rangers finally won a World Series last season. I remember all the down years, and the years the Rangers got close, but failed. I bought 100 tickets a year to attend games. I threw birthday parties for my daughters at the Rangers games. I took my brother to a Rangers game for his 50th birthday. I remember it all. There is no amnesia.

But the glory and satisfaction I experienced last Fall when the Rangers finally won wasn't tainted by bitterness from all those years of losing. I just exulted in them finally winning.

If and when the Cowboys finally win again, I don't want to be weighed down by all the years of them losing. I want to experience the full joy of winning, and experience it without any reservations. THAT is why I choose not to be negative about the past. I don't want to carry it with me like a burden every day. I don't want to be emotionally exhausted by that load of resentment and bitterness.

Whatever you call that, it isn't amnesia.

A touch dramatic, no? "Emotionally exhausted by the load of resentment and bitterness?"

Come on...if anyone is out there feeling "exhausted by the load of resentment and bitterness" you have over a sportsball team, you need to find something better to do with your time, or see a doctor because that sounds like depression. This isn't that serious.

Forget us the fans because I sure wish Dak and the other players could forget it. I think it’s in their heads now. They are going to be like the 90’s Bills in the Super Bowl. Once the momentum turns against them, it’s here we go again, another playoff flop. Quick collapse like the Green Bay game.

"Dez caught it!"

And Jerry sucks!

I actually find coming to the board and ripping Jerry and Stephen to be quite enjoyable

Change the owner/GM, the HC, and QB, and count most of us in.

It'd be easier to change the fan base why don't you go somewhere else why don't you root for another team put on a different logo burn all your stuff delete all your accounts and make sure you remove yourself from any Facebook group pages that have the Dallas Cowboys name attached to it that's easy why don't you do that because now the other stuff's happening you you don't like the way the teams run and it's gonna continue to be ran this way by the Jones family for quite some time so it's easier just for you to go elsewhere so why don't we change the fan base starting with you and let's just keep moving in that direction so everybody who's unhappy can maybe get a go fund me and come up with $10 billion and get on a list that's probably gonna take a decade for you to purchase a football team and do it your own way...
