The Dallas Cowboys are great for television ratings, but that doesn’t mean everyone is a Cowboys fan.
This ESPN.com poll — which is admittedly unscientific, but which has garnered nearly 200,000 votes —
indicates quite strongly that America is on the side of the Redskins on Sunday night.
As you can see, 73 percent of voters would like to see the Redskins win, and only in Texas do a
majority of voters favor the Cowboys.
Of course, the Cowboys hate seems even stronger away from the DMV, where many deranged weirdos
(including my daughter’s kindergarten teaching assistant) grow up rooting for the Cowboys.
Maryland (78 percent Redskins), Virginia (77 percent) and D.C. (76 percent) trail places like Michigan (82 percent Redskins),
Pennsylvania (82), New Hampshire (82), Vermont (82), Massachusetts (82), Maine (81), Wisconsin (80)
and Minnesota (80) in right-mindedness.

Regardless of which team you root for, think about how far you've come to get to this point. It started on the day before free agency, when the NFL took a huge chunk of salary-cap money away from each of these two teams and redistributed it among the others for what to this day continues to look like no good reason. The owner who most vocally championed and reveled in that punishment for your teams' spending during a season that featured no official spending rules was John Mara, the owner of the division-rival and Super Bowl champion New York Giants. His team can't win the NFC East. Yours can. His team needs a minor miracle Sunday just to get into the playoffs. Your team has control of its own destiny. If you want to cackle in glee about that particular irony, that's your right. Get satisfaction.
This is the funniest part of this article. Neither Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder broke any rules during the non cap year. Someone forgot to tell Mara that karma can be a b****. lol
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

what is left out is that the Giants won 2 super bowls in the last 3-4 years....when was the last dallas or washington super bowl win????

We all have our memories of the good times .... you hang on to those memories..... you're going to need them to get through the cold winter NFL seasons you're going to experience during the RGIII era now underway.. ......

Tom, I think the point of that passage is not the fact the Giants had won those Super Bowls but the fact that someone who is supposed to be a respected owner pretty much gloat before the season began that it will hurt his division rivals and do it publicly. It is one thing to say his team will beat his division rivals, which is justified, it is another to say what Mara did.

True, neither one broke any rules, but both knew that there would be consequences for their actions. And guess what, they acted all indignant when it came back to bite them. There was a reason that the other 28 owners didn't play that game.
I love how people talk about the Cowboys like they matter or have mattered at all in the last decade and a half. I have made my opinion about Tony Romo very clear to many on this website since he took over the starting job 6 years and close to 100 INTs ago (not to mention countless 4th quarter flops which lead me to describe him as having the nerves of a "Nervous Little Flea On Crack"). A very good friend of mine, and a current Key West bartender and Cowboys fan for some retahded reason, made me a T - Shirt sarcastically and ironically declaring my gay love for Romo which I wore proudly (and ironically) around the Great Woods parking lot one year . . . and the fact remains - no matter how amazing a team the Cowboys management produces if Tony Romo starts you will eventually lose. The Cowboys are irrelevant. I almost want them to win on Sunday . . . create an even greater false sense of hope.
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

they said that about Michael Vick , Donovan McNabb and many other running QB's..... if i still recall , they are still the defending Champs....so it's not a memory , it's the present......

That's a great point....and although RGIII does have other talents besides his legs, he is one major knee injury away from becoming a very ordinary QB. He's not one that would end up out of the league if he lost his ability to run, but that running ability is what takes him from good to great.
What I'm really hoping for is a GB-Houston Super Bowl.
I want the Packers because they are my favorite (and local) team.
I want the Texans because I know JJ Watt and his family personally...the Sports Bar that I ran is located in his hometown....can you say "record sales"? His family comes in for some of his games, and his baby brother is a regular.

Which bar was that, and when did you run it? I've been through Pewaukee a couple times; I might have even stopped in. -"BB"-
