I hate the Cowboys and everything about them.

Of course, the Packers are and will always be #1 in my heart - I was born and raised in Wisconsin, so they are my heritage, but I've got plenty of room for the Cowboys as my second favorite. Some might think that is merely because I have lived in Texas since the seventies. The fact is, though, I've favored the Cowboys since the days of the AFL - when their existence as an NFL expansion team was challenged by the flagship team of the AFL, the Dallas Texans, owned by the primary league founder, Lamar Hunt. The Cowboys, of course, survived that war, and the Texans moved on to Kansas City and became the Chiefs.

The talking heads (and even some in here) like to ridicule Jerry Jones for not going out and getting a real GM, but Ol' Jer has done a damn good job of building that team - never letting it really bottom out, and AGAIN, like he did in the early 90s, bringing them back to the elite of the NFL. A LOT of GMs of teams around the league haven't done nearly as well. (much as I'm happy to have Rolando McClain as an ILB for my second favorite team, I'd rather have him playing for my favorite team - just one of many examples).

The Boys' will be The Boys' and melt down at some point, was kinda glad to hear they won today.

This raised the attention level still higher. Next he stated that his backup team was the ,"Pittsburgh Steelers". Everyone to a man began laughing. People entered the area and began laughing because everyone else was laughing. Having a "backup team" became the funny excuse around there for the next 6 months. As for the guy that said it originally, he was a jolly good sport, but never again said he had a backup team.

You're a Packer fan, or a Lakers fan, or a Brewers fan, or ...
Having a second or backup team is just laughable . [roflmao]
