Any Given Sunday


For anyone who knows me, they will tell you that I am the biggest Female NFL fan they have ever met. I am a True Blue Dallas Cowboys fan!! Six months out of a year, I live and breath football.

Football fans either love or hate the Cowboys, there is no in between. When the city of Dallas, received a NFL expansion franchise in 1960, the team was announced as the “Steers” a few weeks later the team was renamed to the “Rangers”, however, Dallas already had a Baseball team named “Rangers”. That Baseball Team was not expected to continue as a Major League team, however, when the MLB and the City of Dallas decided to keep the “Rangers” the football owners had to come up with another name for their NFL Football Franchise and then came the “Cowboys”. Now, you have the Dallas Cowboys. Their first season recorded was 0-11-1. For some reason that does not surprise me!! During that inaugural season the only time the team could celebrate came on the week that they tied. HUM…..who did they tie with……..THE NY GIANTS!! The tie came within the 2nd to last game for their season.

As, I watch the Cowboys today and see the way there playing leads me to believe that they missed their plane in Dallas and never made it to New York………YES 48 years later the Cowboys still play the New York Giants, who are now in our division and are one of the known rivals in the NFL. At the time of this blog, the score is 28-7 for New York. I can almost guarantee you the NY score will go up from there. The cowboys have some serious problems this year and chances are WILL NOT make it to the playoffs.

Throughout the last 48 years, The Dallas Cowboys have a lot to be proud of. Their first Super Bowl appearance was in Super Bowl 5, the Cowboys lost that game. However, their first win in a Super Bowl came the following year in Super Bowl VI. The Cowboys have 5 Super Bowl wins. Their last win was Super Bowl XXX, January 28, 1996. The Cowboys have 8 appearances in the Super Bowl, which at this time is the NFL Record. The Cowboys became the first team in NFL history to win 3 Super Bowls in just 4 years (that has been matched only once since, by the
New England Patriots. Anyway, the Cowboys are America’s team and the best team in the NFL. They not be numerically the best team in the NFL during the 2008 season, but the cowboys are the most winning team in the NFL and the most expensive team in the NFL.

So for any of my friends that are NOT a Cowboys fan, try to out do any of the Cowboys records………..sorry you just can’t do it!!

Stay tuned there will be more about the BOYS that’s for sure!!

Go Cowboys!!
