    That's what I said. Not sure about "worst played" . . . V's a serious contender, there.

    So what are you right about? Of course no team wants to have their bye week in week 2 nobody would dispute that but shit happens. Do you think the Saints wanted to play their HOME opener in New York after Katrina.
    What would you have done?

    Regarding Super Bowl V, I'll have to take your word for it. I hadn't been born yet, so I have only seen highlights.

    Having being told I'm one of the "more balanced Cowboys fans" that most people who hate the Cowboys know, I can say that without a doubt, when it comes to what I've seen from Steelers fans, I don't come close to being an asshole, and I'm pretty hard on myself when it comes to me thinking I acted wrongly in a public setting. I'm very passionate.

    To borrow a line from Gunny Hartman: I am hard, but I am fair.

    Tommy, I wasn't questioning whether or not you had dealt with asshole Steelers fans. I've dealt with plenty myself, and I'm sure there are a few people who would consider me to be one.

    It was the front-runner comment that I was addressing. In that area, Cowboys fans have Steelers fans beaten by a mile.

    Oh and Inky,

    I knew you were better than that comment which is why it surprised me. I understand the "hatred" you Stealer fans feel toward Dallas, but imagine my hatred after having to see Jackie Smith drop the ball in the end zone 1,000 times or Lynn Swann's graceful pummeling of the Cowboys' secondary.

    Someone said it before, I'm also holding off the Super Bowl tix before I see what this team can do in December and January. That being said, the final game of the year in Philly could be a hell of a meaningful game.

    oop,

    I know you weren't referring to me. It's all good, but I've seen plenty of the front-running coming from both sides. I know Cowboys fans who piss me off because they give me a bad name whenever I wear my colors. However, both sides are far from innocent. It's all about fair-weather fans. I hate 'em, you hate 'em, we all hate 'em, but every Super Bowl winner picks up their fair-share of these jackasses, only to lose them whenever the next champ is crowned.

    THEY DIDN'T HAVE A FUCKING CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I swear to God, this is like you saying kids are complaining about getting a snow day when a hurricane hits in September. You talk as if the calendar was released and they said "Awww man we use one of our five snow days on Sept. 15. What the fuck?"

    What were the Texans and Ravens going to do, play in fucking hurricane-destroyed Reliant? Or at a high school field in Oklahoma? What part of that is up for debate?

    For the love of piss.

    It's this kind of fan I'd rather talk to in a public setting, discuss issues and such - even if I'm not a fan of the Cowboys (and I'm not) - than someone who wears the same colors I do who's embarrassing himself and the team which I support.

    Thanks, T_D. No blue font ... not even Cowboys' blue. :)

    Hey, anytime I can speak from the heart and have you back me up, I know I've done my job lol. That being said, I can get a little rediculous at times, I think we all are guilty of that, but I do my best to right the ship if I do go overboard.
