You touched upon every single unique perspective experienced with being an avid Boys fan and aligned with this site.
That was the best ****ing post I have ever read on this site. Call me a nut swinger if you'd like. I have to give props to Hos for laying it down completely. We all have our arguments and take various sides on every topic. Yet still, we're Cowboys fans... a common bond that will always tie us together. To my fellow fans, I may aqrgue with you when I get home but right now I am really feeling this thread. Helluva post Hos.

That IS about the size of it.
I name your post a redundancy-addendum-reinforcement post to Hos's OP.
Cowboys fan - a band of brothers and sisters.

You are right. No need to get all mad and stuff.
Ever night I just pray to my god to punish and utterly destroy some people I really hate here and instantly I feel the lord touch my heart and I feel real good. And when ms. busty touches me I feel even better.

We all really love the Cowboys. No one's opinion counts more than anybody else's (though we think that sometimes!). Whether we are realists, blind homers, gun-shy, whatever, we all are passionate about the Cowboys. What makes us special is at least half of us are not even from Texas, live in Texas nor have ever been to Texas. That is how strong the Cowboy brand is!

Great Post.
It is the Cowboys M.O. to be the biggest and baddest coaster in the park. But oh how sweet the highs are.
If you're a TRUE Cowboys fan, everyone knows it... the Star stickers on your car, the ballcaps on your head, the jackets the hoodies ... all of it. Everyone knows your a Cowboys fan, and everyone takes shots at you when the team struggles and everyone has an opinion on why or what is causing the snickering that you smile and endure.
But the best part is the looks on the faces of fans of opposing teams when the Dallas Cowboys are fielding a quality football team. A good Cowboys team tends to take a similar form when we have good teams- lots of "Scary" good big time players surrounded by solid talent and top notch specialists. This team is staring to look a bit like those great Cowboys teams. Not exactly, but we have pieces of the puzzle in place.
When we start winning football games the whole world goes silent until they can breathe again after a Cowboys loss. Because the whole world knows that the history of this ballclub while peppered with heartbreaking losses-shows that this team is indeed THE enduring franchise in the NFL.
The entire sports world sleeps with the lights on wondering when the Cowboys will get it rolling again, and takes a turn at keeping us down as best they can.
But eventually the train rolls out and picks up steam. You can hear the seething contempt for the team hissing in the locomotive engine that is Dallas Cowboys football. The sneers become straight faces, and the snickers become begrudging backhanded compliments. The contempt is buried by quiet respect. Field goals become touchdowns, and sacks become sack/fumbles, batted balls become pick 6's.
The Star shines brighter and goes supernova.
How many people remember these moments? Your friends stare at the screen and see a graphic showing the rolling Dallas Cowboys are on their upcoming schedule.
Where are the snickers then? Where are the comments? How bad do we suck again? But the thing is as Cowboys fans... you don't have to say anything.
You just watch and enjoy your favorite team do it's thing, and let the chips fall where they may. Clearly you picked the right team in 1982 to root for despite that day's outcome, clearly they did not. Or noone would care.
And we picked the right team to root for despite 44-6. Remember that.

Yup, we are all Cowboy fans...just like 99% of us are American or the majority Christian...We only want what is best for our team, country, church, etc. and it is something I always try to keep in mind when discussing a topic. But as a society as a whole we have become far too cynical and we look for ways to seperate than to unite. But that is a topic for another place and another time. Good post my friend and I appreciate what you and our other fine mods do.

I used to bet 5 bucks against the Cowboys every game. If I lost the bet I was proud to pay the 5 bucks for the win. If they lost, hey at least I made money. I quit that around 1988 when no one would bet me. I never picked the habit back up.UnoDallas;3055037 said:

LOL - I play in two very serious money keeper fantasy football leagues but for that same reason have zero Dallas Cowboys players just so that if we have a bad week I can more likely pull off atleast a fantasy win. Sure losing a little money in fantasy sucks but when my cowboys win/lose it really matters.
