I don't know about you guys, but for me Turkey Day and Christmas means spending time with Cowboys Haters in socal! I grew in Fort Worth, my relatives are from Illinois and local to San Diego. As you can figure out, that makes them Bear and Charger fans. All day long, all I heard was, "why do the Cowboys always play on Thanksgiving?" or "This team has no class", "Why are they America's Team?", and of course, "Why can't the Cowboys pick on someone their own size!" ***???? I got soooo mad I told the last person who open his mouth I was about to stuff him in the trash can! lol. Thank God the Boyz won or I would have been run out of the house.

See you go about this all wrong.....You are a flippin Cowboys fan. You are the Alpha fan on holidays. I have no idea why Bears and Chargers fans hate the Cowboys....but whatever. We don't really have a rivalry with either of them.

As far as us always playing on Thanksgiving....well you should have merely said Dallas = ratings. Even though that isn't the real reason, it is good enough to piss em off. Even when Dallas sucks, they draw higher ratings than almost any other team.

About the Bears, Matt Forte is a nice RB. Hester is a great KR. Orton is a promising young TE. Gould is a solid K. The rest of that offense sucks. The defense has been pretty good, but not as dominant as the last few years. The team is still boring to watch, other than a few key players.

As for the Chargers. They go out of their way to find ways to lose games. Rivers is highly overrated. Their defense isn't anywhere near as good as it was with Wade. The offense has so many weapons, and yet has completely underachieved this year. This team at the beginning of the season was the most talented team on paper, and yet they will most likely miss the playoffs. Has SD ever won a championship in any pro sport?

you needed to put them in their place. The Bears are one of the most storied franchises, pre-1960. And since the dawn of the SB, they have been great on a handful of occasions. the Chargers have made a handful of great runs as well, but otherwise, they have been a middle of the pack team.

That's nothing.
I live in Virginia.
My whole day was surrounded by countless Commanders fans of all ages. And they were all wearing their jerseys... why? (they didn't play today?)
Every year... at every family function.
The one guy who isn't a Commanders fan?... an Eagles fan.

But these events are what groomed me into embracing 'the star'.
I love it.

My relatives in Denver are die-hard Broncos fans. They hate the Chargers and Raiders with a passion, but guess who's their NEXT CLOSEST hated team? Yup-Dallas.

I also lived in New Orleans for almost 20 years-Saints fans hate the Falcons, but believe it or not, they hate Dallas more.

Back when Garrett had one of the best thrid stringer starts in league history against Green Bay on Thanksgiving, I had to spend it with 49ers' fans. Since I was a guest I had to cheer on the inside in my mind so I wouldn't be rude. The whole house of 49ers' fans were pissed, because they expected Green Bay to destroy us since Garrett was starting. :D

believe me when I say this...

Commanders fans hate the Cowboys more than they like the Commanders.

It is the absolute truth.

I hear more anti-Dallas comments from them all year, every year, than I hear pro-Washington banter. Even amongst theirselves.

They are completely and totally obsessed with the Cowboys.
They don't care about the Commanders' success or future.
All they care about is beating Dallas, finishing better than Dallas, and/or seeing Dallas struggle.

It is the God's honest truth and it is utterly pathetic.

Do your Eagles fans friends behave the same way, FWIW?

I'm no fan of Owens either, but remember the 1st meeting Owens had with his former team in Philly in '06-the fans were publicly getting together in the street to burn his former Eagles jersey, the WIP guys were asking Eagles defensive players if they would cripple him, when Lito made that game-clinching INT return at the end, the fans(the ones watching from their tvs at home et al) were celebrating like Osama Bin Laden was (finally)captured.

Like I said-like you, I'm no fan of Owens either, but this is pretty sick behavior on their part. With us Dallas fans, if we beat the Eagles, it's just MERELY beating the Eagles like any other opponent, not like we won the Super Bowl or anything.

The Eagles fans I know don't obsess over the Cowboys the way the Skins do.
They hate Dallas with a passion too but they are too busy whining about their own team to hate on anyone elses's. (as it should be)

Eagles fans are the biggest Eagles haters.

live in the Philly area so I can relate. A lot of Eagles fans, some Commanders and Giants fans mixed in to. On Turkey day nobody bothers with me unless they lose. Usually they don't. Anyhow, I leave at halftime and watch the 2nd half at home because dinners finished by then. This year, the eagles fans had NOTHING to say with what happened last week with Mcnabb.

Don't worry, I did my part sending verbal jabs back their way... The main problem in my situation is that I usually have no backup :( But it's all good. Anyhow, I how lived all over the country due to my military service. And common demoninator I have seen is that other team's fans generally hate the Cowboys.

I built a man cave up stairs in my house. I have a 54" HD TV, wet bar with a small fridge and microwave. Even my own cabinets with my choice of foods.

Wow....... those are two sets of fans who shouldn't be saying a word. A Charger fan was ripping on the Cowboys???

Agreed.

I will also take it one step further.
Non-Cowboys fans have THAT MUCH hate also.

And.. furthermore... non football fans will say something like "oh, I dont like the Cowboys... I hate them" - I ASK WHY? they reply... I dont know I just dont like them.

Classy...

I love when people claim that Skins fans hate Dallas more then they love the Skins. One question. And I want an answer:

Are you that arrogantly self-centered?
