Dallas Cowboys: 'America's Team' no more?

http://www.wfaa.com/sports/football/cowboys/dallas-cowboys-Americas-team-no-more-136042073.html

A new survey conducted by Public Policy Polling and released Wednesday indicates that the Packers are the overwhelming number-one choice for that coveted slogan.

Seven-hundred American voters were polled between December 16 and 18, and 22 percent of them selected Green Bay as their favorite team; only 11 percent picked the Cowboys.

In a contest between just the Packers and Cowboys — 49 percent selected Green Bay.

The survey did give Dallas the top spot in another, less prestigious category. Twenty-two percent of those surveyed said the Cowboys are their least favorite team.


Goooo Pack!!

That's what my nephew (in the picture) said when he saw that my brother got a Disney Princess wig for his Clay hair.

There are some decent books in the genre, but you really ought to post about those in the fiction forum.
