I'm torn about who to root for. Any other Cowboys fans wanna help me out?
Edited on Fri Feb-04-05 12:05 PM by redqueen
As a Cowboys fan, I have loathed the Eagles for as long as I can remember. However, if the Pats win, then they'll have tied my Boys as another team that's won 3 SBs in 4 years. (And, really, we should have won 4 in 4 but $#&*(@#& Irvin just HAD to coke it up the night before the game and couldn't catch for $#&@! the next day.)

Help me out here, fellow Cowboys fans...

Who are you rooting for?

1. One thing should keep you from rooting for the Iggles.
Cheers when Michael Irvin was lying motionless on the Veterans Stadium "playing surface."

Hey, I hate the Cowpies, but that was ruthless. And from recent accounts, the Iggles fans are still as bad. Let's not forget, too, how they BOOOOOOOOOED the selection of Donovan McNabb when he was drafted.

4. That is but one example of the nastiness of the fans there.
Someone should write a book!

5. Daunte Culpepper's wife had to endure profanity and slurs directed at her.
It's just sad, no sportsmanship whatsoever.

10. Hurling snowballs with batteries in them at players?

Wonder how many examples we can get just from people in this forum... I think you really could fill a short book.

12. They didn't have batteries in them
And they were directed at the Dallas coach, not the players (at first, at least) So there.

And our current governor started that snowball fight (true!)

But in any case, I suggest you root for the Pats - we don't need no steeenkin Cowboys.

;-)

14. I'm pretty sure they had batteries in them.
Edited on Fri Feb-04-05 03:42 PM by redqueen
And as you probably know there are lots more stories of the fans' behavior there.

Thanks for the suggestion and your input. It's settled... I'll think I'd rather the 'boys share one with the Pats than the Eagles EVER win one.

11. Duh, maybe you should have read my post.
I'm not a Cowboys fan either. But you do appear to reinforce the Iggles fan stereotype.

7. No one should ever cheer an injury
But too many years of Michael The Push-Off Artist Irvin took its toll.

Go Iggles!

8. But but but
Are you just saying he rocks because you are giving him a pass, like the rest of the liberal media, for being black and successful in football? Isn't that what Rush Limpball said?

16. Mc Nabb Rocks
Because he's a great quarterback. He's a proven leader with a strong arm and good game sense.

15. Anybody but the Eagles
I grew up outseide of Philly and despise the 'Iggles' more than any other team. I can't think of a more obnoxious fan base than the people who actually cheer for a player who goes down with an injury (Michael Irvin). I, as a Cowboys fan, would never cheer for TO to go down to injury, even after his numerous displays again the 'Boys. So, in answer to the question, ANYBODY BUT THE EAGLES. And since it is NE, that's who I'll be cheering for.

18. You are a cockroach and a traitor.
Awww poor little Irvin got hurt. If he wasn't such an asshole, cokehead punk that would have never happened. If it was Smith or Aikman there would have been none of that but if I had my druthers it would have been Sanders, probably the most hated Cowgirl ever. There is nothing worse than a Cowgirl fan in Philly, bandwagon jumpers with zero character who were picked last for kickball and needed a winning team to latch on to to boost their self esteem. Don't come home for the parade.

19. I'm a Cowboy Fan, yet a DU'er, hello
I'm rooting for either team. If Philly wins, first time in awhile. Mostly rooting for them. However, I lived in NE too and was with other POKES fan when they won against the Steelers in 1996.
