The Steelers have 6 wins, whereas the Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers have 5 each. I don't mind the 49ers too much.... kinda like them to tell the truth. But I've never been able to stomach the Dallas Cowboys. "America's Team" indeed....
So although I know there's not a lot of NFL fans here..... I know there's a few. So in the words of the since booted Hank Williams Jr....... ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!?!?
I knew, deep down, that there was something off about you.
A Steelers fan? Oh heavens.
I have been a die-hard Cowboys fan since the late 1960s when I, wearing a cowboy hat and a gun belt, saw the Cowboys play the Redskins. This was during the time when Walt garrison played fullback for the Cowboys, did Skoal commercials and rode rodeo. So I figured that they were cowboys during the week and played a little football on the weekend.
My father was born and raised in Pittsburgh during the 1920s and 1930s, when the Steelers were so bad that going to their games cost less than going to high school games. And they sucked during the time when the Cowboys made it to one Super Bowl- vs the Colts and were obviously cheated- and won another. And I, a cocky 8 year old, talked a lot of trash.
Did the same with Little Red Lopez, and this one came back to bite me, too. Just like Lopez lost to Chacon, the Steelers somehow cheated their way to a very successful decade in the 1970s. We all wrote off the 80s, and the 90s were a draw...
I don't think the win vs Arizona should count
and I bet you wouldn't let your daughter attend a party with your team's quarterback!
Best I got...we'll probably be 8-8 or 7-9 this year.
