I'm sure that the majority of us Huddlers share the same distaste for the Dallas Cowboys. Their fanbase seems to be one of the least football knowledgeable that I have come across, they get hyped-up as a Super Bowl contender year in and year out, and they get exhaustive media coverage.

I used to attribute my dislike for them as pure haterism. Like the way I hate the guy sitting in traffic next to me driving an AMG Benz. I now genuinely believe I dislike the team and the franchise for the same reason I dislike Paris Hilton or the Kardashian tribe.

Neither has done anything to deserve to be where they are. They are pretty much famous for being famous.

Now don't get me wrong. I understand that the Cowboys have won 5 Championships in the Super Bowl era, but coincidentally have not done a whole lot of anything since the NFL adopted the salary cap to increase competition between all NFL teams, outside of a '95 championship the year after the salary cap was introduced.

I recently found out that it was Bob Ryan, V.P. of NFL Films in 1979 that coined the phrase for a 1978 Cowboys highlight film. So the title that the Cowboys and their fans so proudly boast was plucked out of thin air for a highlight film by a guy in a suit. This makes it no more relevant than say, "The Cardiac Cats".

People also like to note that the Cowboys are tops in merchandise sales every year. While this is true, I like to think that this is mostly attributed to the teams lust for marquee players, not talent or fan dedication. This year, Brett Favre's purple Vikings jersey tops the sales charts, followed closely by the Michael Vick Eagles jersey.

That being said, it is no wonder why they get all of the official's calls on nationally televised games. In the eyes of the NFL (much like with the NY Yankees and MLB), they figure f the Cowboy's do well, it means more money for the NFL. The Cowboys are a cash-cow, and I firmly believe the NFL will do most everything in their power to try and make them an elite team.

This thread is basically my rant as to why I hate the over-hyped Dallas Cowboys with a passion, and hope to God that we can out-play them and the officials and pull out a victory on Monday night.

America's Team? I don't think so. Watch out for the Cardiac Cats. Panthers win 27-24.

      Benjamin Solak on Panthers draft needs

      Wonder if we draft a RB. Seems like a lot of eggs in Brooks’ basket right now.  And the OL, no kidding. If that running game goes to hell with what we have at QB, you can forget competing. It is so much more important than sticking another wideout on the field. Take your wideout later.

      2026 Win predictions from DraftKings

      I have lots of different thoughts on it. This argument, the primary thing is I don’t like seeing him or anyone, being convicted on hearsay and/or pure speculation. Which some are doing.  I don’t care That much about defending Morgan as I do about the criticism being fair minded.    You sort of assert that Dan was just a yes man. I don’t think we know if he ever pushed back against Fitterer but I have this instinct thing that needs me to satisfy the question of: if Tepper was so down on a Fitterer as to fire him, why in the world would he hire his carbon copy? I guess maybe he wanted a yes man.Like I said, lots of different thoughts.     I am just not gonna judge him that harshly based only on speculation. I am sticking with what he has done starting when he was hired as GM. Maybe I am more lenient because the first season for him and Canales, I gave both a pass. Said I would judge them after the first year. Stuck to it. If you can get to the reality that neither were ready for the job and say okay give them a year get their feet wet, it looks a lot better.    And we are not bound to Bryce yet. Yes, for yet another fuging year he can probably marginally improve and slide by like he has been doing. But if they add even more people and he regresses? I think we could see some relief.    The QB room? As I understand it, Pickett was Canales’ choice. If we need to blame people for poo. In a sense, he is very Bryce like. So makes a good plug in. I get that a little bit. We still have the draft. If they do better than Jake Plummer or Hooker I’ll know they are trying.
