Adding insult to injury


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Several of us have an annoying Cowboy fan in our life. Maybe as a friend, relative, co-worker, boss, significant other (shudder) or something else.

For those to whom this applies, Thursday offered a little bonus.

So if this is you, three questions:

Who are they in your life?

How annoying are they?

And what did you do to make their pain and suffering from Thursday's blowout even worse?

I live in San Antonio and am surrounded by Cowboy and Houston fans... All last week I wore all my panthers gear to work each and every day and one of my good friends in particular kept saying how Dez was going to throw up the X on us and how Hardy was going to get all these sacks on Cam..well I text him during the game

I grew up near Dallas.  My family and childhood friends are all Cowboys fans.  Honestly, I didn't do much because I remember us being 3-7 last year.  I feel pity for them because we have a good owner, GM, coaching staff. Look at what they get.  There problems are a lot bigger than Tony Romo playing or not.

He is a coworker. I work directly with him. So I have been told all last week how bad my week would be if we lost. He text me himself before the second half saying Romo was killing his team and that we still sucked. I haven't done anything but post about it since I haven't been back to work yet. But Monday......is gonna be great.

True Story--My son and I were moving into his room at UNC, where names of his suite mates were posted on each door.  We were organizing his things, and a male student entered the room to introduce himself; he had a very disturbed, concerned look on his face.  After exchanging formalities, he took my soon to his room where he pointed to the name on the door that was to share a room with him.  The roommate had already moved in, but he had not met him yet.   He looked at my son and said, "How would you pronounce this?"  The name on the door was A-N-A-S (we later learned that he was of middle-eastern descent).  My son said, "Dang.  We all wonder if our roommate is going to be an asshole, but your roommate is actually named "Asshole." 

It gets better.

His new friend said, "you have not seen the worst part yet."  He opened the door and he had a giant Tony Romo poster on the wall and a Dallas Cowboy comforter on the bed. 

The moral of this story?  I think you have figured it out by now.

I swear, this entire story is true.  (Anas--pronounced uh NAS) turned out to be a pretty decent guy who was rather obnoxious about the Cowboys.  He texted my son after the NY Giants game in Dallas this year, a game he attended---The same game the Giants blew with terrible clock management--"Cowboys win.  Super Bowl 50 bound!"

My most annoying boss is a die hard cowboys fan who thought for sure they would win. He is not a nice person and just very grumpy all the time and yelling at everyone. Well we both worked like 13 hours yesterday and were stressed out over black friday stuff but every time I saw him I said something like "how abought that game" or "hoe about those cowboys" he was getting so mad and it felt so good

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
