Dallas Cowboy FanBy Jawface, Jawface.com
It's football season again and I am ready. I bought a brand new big screen television with all the amenities. I have the NFL Sunday ticket from Direct TV and I am walking around with a chip on my shoulder. Now, I just have to find out what team I am going to route for. I have been a fan of almost every NFL team, from the Tennessee Titans to the Pittsburg Steelers. I love them all except one team, The Dallas Cowboys. They have been a thorn in my side for years.
I used to be a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, but the Cowboys changed this for me. During the glory years, the Cowboys won many games and went to the playoffs year after year. The Cowboys won a couple of Super Bowls, which made me proud to be a fan. The Cowboys were my true love.
Like most football fans, I used to win a lot of money betting on the Dallas Cowboys. I am no major gambler, but at least I used to win enough money to keep gas in the car. Then, the tide changed. The Cowboys stated losing games and I started losing a lot of money. The Cowboys were losing games that they should easily win. Some of the games were lost in embarrassing fashion. For example, the Cowboys would botch a 10-yard field goal with 3 seconds left in a playoff game. The Cowboys would also let a team with few wins come into Texas Stadium and make the Cowboys look like a high school football team. It was a sad day to be a Cowboy fan.
In the past, I loved going to work on Monday mornings to brag about the Cowboys. I talked a lot of noise and many of the conversations at work were about the Cowboys. I may have received my promotion because my boss was a Cowboy fan as well. I would even go to work early just to meet non-Cowboy fans in the parking lot so I could start bragging.After the team started losing games, I would be the last person to make it to work. I was disciplined for being tardy on several occasions. I went from a superior employee to a dude in just couple of weeks. Then again, a couple of bad loses by the Cowboys. Especially since my boss who was a Cowboy fan was fired. I am not saying that the Cowboys got him fired, but his luck also changed when the Cowboys started losing.
I started to despise the Cowboys. Not only did I lose money betting on the Cowboys, I also received a lot of ridicule from peers. I even filed for divorce from my first wife because she bought me a Dallas Cowboy jacket for Christmas. I did not mind all extra-marital affairs by my wife, or even her going months at a time without cooking. However, the minute she bought me the jacket, she had to go. I could accept being cheated on, but I could not accept the cruelty of her buying me the jacket. It's like she was rubbing it in my face.
I have not talked to one of my sons in years. We have had problems in the past but would find a way to communicate and make things better. Things changed when he moved to Dallas, Texas. We could never see eye to eye on anything. Maybe the curse of living near Texas Stadium changed him.
I have lost a lot being a Dallas Cowboy fan and I'm not going to let the Cowboys ruin another football season for me. I have decided to bet on any team that plays the Cowboys. Maybe I can get some of the money back that I lost betting on the Cowboys to win. I will be rich in no time. I could probably earn enough to buy the team, and then they would be my favorite team again.Find friends, meet people and discuss everyday Topics at
