DMD Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 You know, when I see your name on the main page as the last poster on a thread with any contention to it, I always think "and here comes the gas can"... And of course, the Cowboys are America's team. That's why we all win when they win. Not that it happens a lot, but you get my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is by far the most delusional post I have ever seen on this board. Good job, man. "Most valuable": Utterly irrelevant "Huge Road draw": Cowboys far from unique. Steelers, Raiders, Cowboys, Packers all about the same as for "road draw". In fact, there are always more visiting Steeler fans than Cowboys fans when they play in NY. "Huge TV draw": No more than other teams. Depends on 1:00/4:00 or Prime time. Not that it is the Cowboys. "will always be 'America's Team' ": Ahahahahahahahahahahaha. It's not even "america's Team" now. Wow Cowboys fans are like in a drug induced fog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you're a Jets fan, so I will weigh that into the intelligence curve here 2016 top road draw NFL 2017 see below 2018 3rd ranked road draw in all of sports . # 1 in NFL 2019 could not find the data but I assume you can see a trend here Keep in mind , these numbers are generated by Mediocre Cowboys teams. Agreed that we haven't been a powerhouse since the early 90s yet we are still a top draw . Saying we are the most valuable franchise in sports is irrelevant is complete ignorance . Popularity and your fan base generates revenue . Its certainly not just Texas homers generating these figures , its the nationwide fan base https://scholarblogs.emory.edu/esma/2017/06/17/nfl-fan-base-and-brand-rankings-2017/ https://seatgeek.com/tba/sports/these-are-the-visiting-teams-sports-fans-want-to-see-most/ https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2016/8/5/12382996/nfls-best-and-worst-road-draws-cowboys-remain-a-top-road-draw-in-2016 I understand that it seems odd to call a team with limited success on the field Americas team , but they are . For every hater that roots for the Cowboys to lose more than they root for their own team to win , there is equal or more fans of the Cowboys . When my local teams are on primetime and their regular TV slot is open , id say 70% of the time , they put the Cowboys in that slot. They could put better performing teams in that slot , but they don't. Why is that ? So while you weep into your Namath jersey every night while abusing your privates , do so realizing that the Cowboys are now and always will be Americas team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, That you retort about the J-E-T-S Jets, shows a lot. There was nothing about the Jets in the thread. Yet here you are dishing Jets at me. Weak attempt to deflect. This isnt about the Jets. It's about Cowboys fans' long standing delusion that somehow, because they like the Cowboys, it is magically "America's Team". Newsflash. It is not. $ value is irrelevant. That they get more prime time TV than other teams is the only reason why the ratings are higher. If you are basing this on revenue, then you are changing the argument. I make no claims that the Cowboys don't make more money than the other teams. But that doesn't translate into "America's Team". Sorry. That's just a magical illogical leap, but I know you believe that. Gotta love the way Cowboys fans truly believe the myth. It's actually very very funny. Now you can go ahead and respond about the Jets again. But just like before, you only do so to divert form the issue: Cowboys are just a team with a wide fan base. Just like the Steelers, Raiders and some other well traveled fans. It in no way makes them "America's Team". LOL. Cowboys fans are just silly.

I don't understand why it upsets you so much that it is attributed to the Cowboys . Its sort of like in boxing when they talk about pound for pound. It is a phrase . It isn't a title that holds true value . and That they get more prime time TV than other teams is the only reason why the ratings are higher Proves my point . Why would a mediocre football team get more prime time games than anyone else ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def. Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Majority of other team's fans about the Cowboys: "You're not America's team!" Also majority of other team's fans about the Cowboys: "If only we had their numbers!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a mediocre football team get more prime time games than anyone else ? Proves your point? No. How so? A football team will get more prime time games for multiple reasons. Sometmes it's because they are a good, strong team. (Best reason). Next, it's ratings. So you are saying if more people watch the Cowboys on a Monday Night than they would the Jaguars, that means the Cowboys are America's team? LOL. You cowboy fans are remarkable.

But many are. Likewise, not all Jets fans are uneducated, beer drinking idiots. But many are. I see them all the time. Now as for the Patriots..... no... lets not go there.
