Congrats to my Second Favorite Team! Their win against Seattle is really the frosting on the cake after the Packers great win.

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).

As I see it; as goes Romo , so goes the Cowboys. Now I've observed this guy , Romo , for years. What he does is this. He gets red hot , sometimes for multiple games, and people start to believe that maybe Jerry wasright after all.Then he'll play against a team like the Redskins and throw 3 picks and fumble. I call it the hot/cold faucet syndrome.
He either play like S#it or he plays like sugar. He will get cold, I'd bet real money on it. [roflmao]

I can understand the hate for the Cowboys - I think most of it stems from that string of games a few years ago where somehow the Packers repeatedly seemed to have to play them at there place. Aside from short term allegiances - who needs to win or lose to help the Packers right now, my most consistent favoritism is NFC over AFC - going back to the AFL days. There was genuine HATE back then, and with good reason. The frosting on the cake of Super Bowl I was when Vince came on national TV and dissed the AFL saying something to the effect that most of the NFL teams woulda beat the Chiefs.

What I see from this Cowboys team is similar to when they emerged as contenders in the early 90s - a lot of sharply procured players coming out of nowhere in some cases, wisely drafted in others, etc. I WISH the Packers could put together an O Line as well and as quickly as Jerry did. I WISH we could dig up some ILBs like the Cowboys have - even with their best D player out injured. As for Romo, a good Wisconsin boy from about 20 miles from my hometown, yeah, he has a history of inconsistency; I've called him a "Favre-wannabe" myself in the past, but as beat up as his old body is, he still has that escapability and a flair to make big plays. Obviously, he ain't Aaron Rodgers, but IMO, he's better than what about 25 - 27 other teams start at QB.

It's always traumatic for me when my two favorite teams play each other. I could see than happening in the NFC semis or finals this season.

Some years back, a fellow where I worked , walked into work one Monday morning and declared that he was not upset that his beloved Dolphins had been eliminated from the playoffs. I and the other men looked at each other and listened as another fellow asked him why he was not upset even a little. He said that it was ok because he had a backup team. 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.

Having a second or backup team is just laughable . [roflmao]

Obviously, I disagree about that. In fact, despite my negativism about the AFL/AFC, I'm warming up to the Houston Texans as my THIRD favorite team. I think having J J Watt and a couple of other Badgers helped that.

I just can't enjoy watching a football game, pro or college where I absolutely don't care who wins. Whether it's "what's good for the Packers/Badgers" or "NFC over AFC" or "pro-Big Ten" or whatever, it has to have something to keep my interest. Jets v Bills or Cardinals v Rams or whatever, I just can't sit and watch it.
