Who is the one player from an opposing team you grew to hate as an Cowboys fan?

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Merton Hanks...

Yes, that was my answer in 2007 when the question came up on this board, and that is my answer today. There was nothing more awful than having merton hanks intercept and then do the chicken dance >.> going into the endzone. Those who haven't watched a game back in the day when he did that don't know...

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

T.O. before he became a Cowboy.

There were others, at different times of course.
Rodgers is one.

Any Steelers player.

That is my close second to merton hanks. all though George Teague hitting him the second time he placed the ball on the star made it all better, and earned Teague a place in Cowboys folk lore

Lol I love Odell... He's a circus clown with a jersey on, pure mindless entertainment...

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Deoin Sanders

losing the NFC Championship. The 49ers dominating the superbowl. And then seeing Deon on SNL. That was a low.

 

[Centex]

Randall Cunningham in our division
Jack Tatum
Albert Haynesworth
Bill Romanowski
Lynn Swann
Dexter Manley
Ritchie Icognito

Those are the worst that immediately come to mind.

The Cleveland steamer!

Joe Theisman, ugh ....Steve Young is a close second.

 

[Johnny23]

Merton Hanks...

I am with you on that one especially when he'd make a play and flop that big ole Turkey neck of his. Good god I hated that.

 

[mathew1184]

Steve Young

 

[Johnny23]

Buddy Ryan and Reggie White.

actually everyone on the eagles defense of that era.

I hated Clyde Simmons with a passion. I won't even lie.

 

[JoeKing]

Joe Theismann

 

[Pantone282C]

Ron Jaworski.

 

[Swagger]

Sorry completely off topic but Lebron James is soooooooooooooooooooo good! The guy is incredible. Not bad for a 35 yr old

 

[America's Cowboy]

Anti-Cowboys Big Mouth to this day...

I grew up hating and still hate this BIG MOUTH...

 

[Diehardblues]

I never really hated their players , just their fans. I guess I attended too many games.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

WR Jimmy Smith of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

 

[J817]

WR Jimmy Smith of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Don’t get this one. Yea we had him but Jimmy found his place around 1997 which was the beginning of Troy’s down years. If we kept Jimmy he would have had to play with an old Troy, an old Randall Cunningham, a Quincy, a Clint etc...

My list
McNabb & TO combo - that one year.
Randy Moss - that one Thanksgiving game
Aaron Rodgers - his whole career

 

[Irse]

Diron Talbert
Darrell Green

Realize I’ve been a Cowboys fan since I was six in 1964...So here are my most hated opponents since I was a kid to now- most of them broke our Cowboy hearts at some point:

• Bart Starr, Packers
• Leroy Kelley- Browns
• Diron Talbot- skins
  
• Conrad Dobler- Cardinals
• Lynn Swann- Steelers
• Terry Bradshaw- Steelers
• Joe Theismann- skins
• Ron Jaworski- egirls
• Wilbert Montgomery- egirls
  
• Dexter Manley- skins
  
• Eric Dickerson- Rams
• Randall Cunningham- egirls
• Joe Montana- 9ers
• Merton Hanks- 9ers
• Ricky Waters- 9ers

To be honest, after the late 90s, I can’t think of anyone like those above because we never had teams that I honestly felt were better than the best teams we lost to in the playoffs. It’s hard to have big enemies when your team isn’t awesome enough to make others hate you. The hate the Cowboys get from people nowadays is more about the past glory than anything else.

Joe Theezman.

Despised TO in Philly and too many mouthy Giants over the years to name (Justin Tuck).
