The Dallas Cowboys are one of those teams that pro football fans either love
or hate. I am one of those people that has hated the Cowboys for eliminating
my beloved Atlanta Falcons from the playoffs in the early eighties.
That team was led by Steve Bartkowski at QB and William Andrews at RB.
That very talented Falcon team never recovered from that which made me
hate the Cowboys.
What did the Cowboys do in the following years? Nothing but win a bunch
of Super Bowls under head coach Jimmy Johnson. What did the Falcons do?
Wallow in the misery of one losing season after another with just one Super
Bowl appearance which they lost. God, I hate the Dallas Cowboys.
Imagine my delight when Cowboy's owner Jerry Jones and coach Jimmy Johnson had a falling out. The team that Jimmy Johnson put together carried coach Barry Switzer to another Super Bowl Championship.
That team started to get too old to cut the mustard and that organization
hasn't put together a championship team since.
Oh the joy. This 2008 season had the sports forecasters predicting a Super
Bowl win for the Cowboys. THEY DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!
The Dallas Cowboys will be sitting at home watching the playoffs on tv just
like me.
Meanwhile, my Atlanta Falcons made the playoffs with a ROOKIE QUARTERBACK!
Oh the joy.
