To true fellow Cowboy fans. it's OK to be excited

Been retired for 10 years. Live like a king on my ranch. Putting my daughter through med school, just gifted her and her husband a house on a country club, don't owe a penny. Have a second home on south Padre island, liquidated most of my 40 properties and enjoy life. I don't mind the dust. My wife is a UT grad, wasn't for her, she came back to the dust bowl, too. It's not for everyone, but it's been good to me. You sound very bitter. Life is what you make of it, sounds like you got a long way to go. Sorry, hopefully things will look up for you.
Nice.

I don't have that level of success, but I do own a ranch w/ a paid off house and good retirement accounts. Great wife and great family. I've got it good.
 
100% what I believe.

To add, we now have a D that other playoffs teams shouldn't be able to run against unhindered. And, we can now run the ball ourselves. Those 2 facets alone make us a completely different team than we have been going all the way back to at least 07.
So are you saying when we play the Rams in the playoffs, they will not be getting over 200 yards rushing?
:laugh::thumbup:
 
Uh, no. You don't "sniff" any championships when you never even win a divisional round game, and you know this.
Best chance was 07. What happened? We strangely and suddenly changed our model of success. Instead of starting Julius, we turned around and started MBIII, which rendered him completely ineffective. Why would we do this? Only answer I can think of is Jerry.
 
I agree . But considering we haven’t made a change at the top should we have expected more. Just saying ..
I do. However, horrific GMing, complete w/ the worst player evaluation I've ever seen from any NFL franchise, has always kept us from the top. Whenever we get close, the odd drafting takes over along w/ releasing players who got us there. Rinse wash repeat.
 
I said, trying, I didn’t say accomplished
The OP's decision to call people names and to ridicule anyone who doesn't agree w/ him makes this a horrifically inane thread. He should not be complimented by anyone. Anyone who starts a thread w/ insults such as this should be informed that it's not w/i the rules. Agreeing w/ him simply prolongs the spatting on this site.

I am not against the positivity of the thread, I am against the cheap little insults he wantonly threw out there, which ruined his own thread.
 
I don't think anybody's better because I don't believe fandom is a competition it's just different for everybody.

Circumstances alter cases and every fan has a slightly different viewpoint because of what they've experienced.

Having watched the best of cowboy football in the moment the product I watch now leaves me uninspired.

I continue to watch because I am hopeful that at some point our owner will actually go all in and use his resources to do what's right and try and win a championship.

An offseason like this where effort was actually made definitely gives me hope.
Hear hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Nice.

That's great, congratulations!! I built my home in 2002. Took me 58 days. Sold 2 properties to pay for it, not having a house payment for the last 24 years has allowed us to do a lot of things. Paid all my daughter's school, paid every dime of her wedding, wife and I retired at 50. Enjoy my dad that turned 91 yesterday and she enjoys her mom. My daughter's house is about a mile away. Very fortunate to live in this dust bowl, that we call home. Lol
 
That's the same speech Ike Clanton gave Johnny Ringo before Ringo walked into the saloon and called Doc Holiday out.
Right. But his death led to him becoming Reese and saving Sarah Conner and thus humanity.

*time isn’t linear

Tons of hard work and money management. Anyone can do it, most would rather fill their days w/ convenience stores and meal deliveries. Any way they can to make it easy. And then complain about not having money.
 
Same here.
A disagreement isn't an attack. Its just a differing point of view. You just think that anyone who isn't "rah rah rah" like you is a hater and rather than hold a civil conversation you just go down the Rockport rabbit hole of negativity and attacks.

That and I suppose you haven't read the verbiage and tone of your OPs have you? Its not always what you say, but the way that you say it.

Let's put it this way, you have the reputation you do, and probably are the most blocked person in this forum, for a reason. Maybe one year you could take that to heart and learn from it.

This entire thread is case in point for why there had to be a tutorial thread for how to use the ignore feature.

Maybe try something called “agree to disagree?”

Not everyone has to think alike, and many times both point and counterpoint can both be true.
