but I just became a Redskins fan.  Football is not a driving force in my life, my heroes have always been Cowboys, I've always pulled for any team playing the Redskins.  
Funnly how life changes in just a few moments. 

Against all politically correct pressure, the Redskins owner refuses to change the name of the Redskins... said "I'll never change the name". 

You have to salute that, give it it's proper respect... a man unwilling to give in the the whims of the ne'er do well, socialist minions of political correctness.  
1. Cowboys
2. Giants
3. Steelers
4. Redskins...

Never thought that would happen... go figure...

Agreed, and kudos to Dan for bringing this matter to our attention.

Go Redskins!

I gave up on Romo, finally, a couple of games ago… NOW, I give up on Garrett… he can't coach…  He has the best team in the league and can't win...

I've been a Cowboys fan ever since I can remember, and I stuck with them through the good years and the bad. But, I finally gave up on them 2 years ago. I just couldn't take it anymore! I got tired of being excited about games only to watch them blow huge leads and make the same mistakes over and over again. I've got better things to do with my time. It's not the losses that finally got to me. It's the pervasive atmosphere of underachievement, lack of discipline, lack of heart, lack of leadership, and mediocrity that infests the whole organization. Jason Witten, Sean Lee, and DeMarcus Ware continually play at a high level and I like them as players, but they're stuck on a cursed team.

It starts at the top. Jerry Jones' arrogance and micro-management is the crux of the problem. He needs to stick to the money decisions, hire a GM, hire a good head coach, and let guys who know the game make decisions on the field. They had that when Jimmy Johnson was head coach and had some autonomy, and they were among the short list of greatest teams to ever play the game. Then Jerry's obnoxious ego took over and he created an atmosphere that no upper tier coach would work under. He has become the new incarnation of Al Davis. I will never again buy any Dallas Cowboys licensed gear, watch their games, or give a damn about them as long as Jerry Jones remains the GM.

Tony Romo is a metaphor for the whole team -- talented, but when it really counts and they have to win, they can be relied upon to choke.

The Dallas Cowboys suck!

Speaking of the Cowboys and institutionalized mediocrity, read this very carefully and let the numbers sink in, as it's unbelievable...almost. It's as if the Cowboys PLANNED to be average! I don't believe any other team in any other sport could achieve these incredible stats on such a consistent basis even if they intentionally set out to do so...

This is why I simply can't watch them anymore!

Even his action figure has a warning on the front of the package that reads, Choking Hazzard.

Jerry Jones is Al Davis in a better suit.
