If you’re not still a fan you wouldn’t be here posting and complaining about the team. If you were done with the team you would move on from posting and find something else to do. It’s like a guy saying he’s done with a woman and has moved on, but he can’t stop talking about her. You’re not done with something if you keep complaining about it.

That's what you would like to believe, wouldn't you?

My mind is twisted? This is coming from someone who claimed the NFL is rigged and the Chiefs won the Super Bowl because of Taylor Swift. :laugh: :laugh: Care to deny any of that?

I had something that I felt needed to be said.
But I am not a fan of these Dallas Cowboys.

I don't believe in this FO , the coaches and the CURRENT roster

The Fandom belongs to the STAR alone and I'll keep hanging thick until they decide to get serious about putting together an organization that wants to wins SB.

Coming to the forum has nothing to do with believing in this current version of our team.....in fact, we've got many members of other teams coming here regularly

On the one hand, I’ve been a Cowboys fan for longer than Jerry has owned the team so I feel good when they succeed.

On the other hand, the organization’s management and team has become so unlikeable that I’m also here to gladly see this franchise implode. You know that feeling where you need things to get really bad before they become good again.

It’s a weird conundrum.

How are they imploding? They’re 1-1 and tied for 1st in the NFC East.

After the signing, I told folks they should stop attacking other members and check on leeblair instead but no. This is what happens when people do not pay attention to those they care about.

Wait.

This didn’t just happen this season. It’s been a 30 year “process.” I’m just glad many on here are finally starting to see the light. Hoping for this to be the break season. Blow it up!

You'd still have the same clowns hiring different clowns. So, blowing it up is pretty worthless also. Just be different clowns in the same Big Top Circus.

I kinda did. I posted it in the thread, "Getting upset now when Dak plays poorly is a waste of emotion".
I am no longer a fan of the Dallas Cowboys organization or the team. That ended a week ago on Sunday morning when the news of Dak Prescott's extension was announced. It was confirmation that this is no longer the Cowboys that I grew up loving. I am a fan of the original Dallas Cowboys, and I always will be. But, this organization does not possess the values that make me want to cheer for them.
And, I realized something: Jerry's way of doing things is amateurish, and since Jimmy Johnson's departure and the unraveling of the team he built, what we have seen is another franchise. Jerry's way of doing things will never achieve greatness.
Jerry has used his influence to change the entire NFL from a professional sports league to an entertainment business. More teams are getting new domed stadiums, and PSL's and tax dollars fund most of it. It has, in the short term, made the NFL a booming success.
It will, in the long term, destroy it.
It is no longer about which team is best, but the new NFL is carefully structured to maximize profits. I said before it is naive to believe that billionaires would leave their fortunes to chance.
Now most games are decided in the final seconds by one score, keeping advertisers happy and gambling popular. This would never happen in a real sports league.some games, yes. All or most of them, no.
When the economy weakens, fans will no longer look to the NFL for a break from their everyday pressures. The reality of what it has become will sink in, and fewer will be willing to place bets on a game that is obviously not a true game.
Yes, the athletes run up and down the field and make great plays, but in the end common sense will set in and they will realize that everything is not as it seems.
Like pro wrestling, muscle bound athletes in fancy costumes show their abilities and play for the cheers of the fans, but in the end it's just entertainment. That's why Taylor Swift is so important to the NFL. The NFL doesn't want to lose her fans
That's why individual stats are promoted through fantasy football; fans forget their team stinks and they cheer individual players, regardless of who wins.
This is the new NFL, and these are the new Cowboys.

The close games are a result of parity rules implemented in the mid 1990's that make it near impossible for teams to pool too much talent. Landry's and Johnson's cowboys did not have to contend with salary caps and free agency. The parity rules have delivered with the exception of the Brady anomaly. Its kinda like NASCAR now with everyone having to race basically the same machine.....so, the teams that excel have the best GM's who figure out ways to give their franchise an edge. Its got nothing to do with gambling.
