Title: The Dallas Cowboys Love ‘em or Hate ‘em
Post by: Ed Vette on January 14, 2024, 07:31:46 PM
I would guess if you asked Giants fans which team they hate the most, the Dallas Cowboys would top the list.

Most of their fans can travel poorly and are obnoxious and boorish in our house. They have a good percentage of fans who are fair weather and bandwagon. If you're a casual fan, you pick the guys in the white hats. Even the bragging, Texas Style with the "How 'bout dem Cowboys", can get under the skin of other teams fans.

If you can look past that, the franchise has a rich history of great teams and great players and coaches.

Some hate Jerry Jones because he's an involved owner who's a billionaire and it's easy to hate the owners because the perception is that they're greedy. But he built one of the best Stadiums in the League and he packs the team with talent. Passionate and by far... their biggest fan.

I gotta feel sorry for the man. Again embarrassed and this time in his own house. He's getting up there in age and although he doesn't change his HC's as impulsively as most owners, I don't see Mike McCarthy surviving this year.

Sorry, call me petty, call me small minded, but watching Jones sat in hos box with his face tripping him, I feel nothing but Schadenfreude.

I don't hate Jerry Jones at all. He's a patriotic American, a great businessman, and a passionate football guy. Plenty to admire there.

Do I feel sorry for him though? No, not at all. I don't feel sorry for John Mara either.

Mara should be on the phone to Belichick, Vrable, Carroll, and Harbaugh
Id take any of them over Daboll

Regardless of the coach and the talent the common denominator in the losing is Jerry Jones.

I was quite happy to see Dallas bounced in round one.   Can't stand Jerry Jones, for many reasons (I will not go into detail).   

I enjoyed the game immensely

I can't say that I hate Dallas. I admired what Jimmy Johnson did with them. Jerry did Jimmy dirty and his punishment is to never win another championship.

I live in Dallas and regularly speak with local fans. They're tolerable. For business networking purposes, my wife (a Cowboys fan) and I have a Cowboys club membership (which is a glorified country club type deal).

I dislike Eagle fans of all sorts. Philadelphia is a bleep-hole and their fans?  :sick:

I tend to hate eagles more but then it comes down to who is doing better where I tend to lead to my hatred. They are either same level or one inches over the other at different times.

I think Jerry's stunt of putting NFC Championship Game tickets on each player's seat in the locker room in 2007 was seen as unacceptable hubris by the football gods and now the Cowboys are cursed.

I agree.  I was at the 2016 opening day game in Dallas and despite them losing to our heroes me and my family didn't have to take any flak from the fans.  I don't think that would have happened in Philly.

Eagles have the worst fans. Cowboys have the worst media. It's like a nuclear bomb went off at ESPN today. They are spending 90% discussing the Cowboys and barely mentioned the Lions ending their 32 year playoff victory drought or previewing the 2 games today. Even without Skip Brainless they cannot hide their Dallas bias.

I've been to a few Cowboys games in Texas wearing a Giants jersey.  Would never dream of taking that risk in Philly.

The Cowboy fans at the game, both before and after the Giants got their asses kicked, were pretty good natured.  Some fun ribbing, but that's all.  No one tried to pee on me in the restroom.  And I didn't see any fights anywhere.  Multiple notches up from Philthadelphia.
