You suck. The Cowboys are still “Americas” team. Yall faggots in Philadelphia have never won a Superbowl ring. Bunch of drunks gambling on fake horses. The Cowboys shall rise again.
That Eagles song in the podcast is the only thing you got. Try winning the “big one”

The city stinks, the fans are ugly and the football team has about as much class as… you’ve decided to keep rolling with the NFL’s turdiest team.

Go back to Dallas and watch America’s team in a sports bar. Guacamole, frozen margaritaa and good looking girls are a lot more fun than a bunch of fat ass “MDs”
Btw, Dallas has one of the best airports in the country.

hey Fit Chick,
Better to have fat guys talking about food than to be a compulsive broad with an obvious case of narcissism.
Nice handle.

Clay,
Thanks for the link to this site. You’re right; they really are Americas Team.
Cocaine arrest, assault allegation, career-ending injury
In March of 1996, Irvin was arrested on charges of cocaine possession at a hotel party celebrating his 30th birthday. He pled no contest to the charges and was sentenced to community service and probation. The NFL suspended Irvin for the first five games of the 1996 season.
In Irvin’s 1996 absence, the Cowboys struggled out of the gate and never recovered. Upon his return from suspension, Irvin tallied 962 receiving yards in only 11 games.
Controversy would rear its head again as the Cowboys played the Carolina Panthers for their NFC Divisional Playoff game. Media reports stated that Irvin and teammate Erik Williams had sexually assaulted a woman and, with a gun to her head, videotaped the interaction. Despite Irvin’s denials of the allegations, the story overshadowed the game, which the Cowboys lost. The accuser was later proven to have fabricated the entire incident, but Irvin sustained even further damage to his reputation.
Irvin had solid years in 1997 and 1998. During the fifth game of the 1999 season, however, Irvin was tackled hard at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. As Irvin lay motionless on the Veterans Stadium field, he was famously greeted by hostile applause from Philadelphia fans, who had grown to dislike Irvin and the entire Cowboys’ organization.
The play in Philadelphia proved to be Irvin’s last. The Dallas wide receiver sustained a non-threatening spinal cord injury and was subsequently diagnosed with a narrow spinal column, which forced him into early retirement.

As I sit here snacking on dry Apple Jacks while I’m reading this, I have to join Fit Chick in the observance of the lack of appeal that the men had. The picture only confirmed the audio. This is the mental level of “I can burp three verse of Yankee Doodle. Wanna hear?”
You know us single girls though… always analyzing the possibilities. (And these guys AREN’T possibiliities.)
Now you’ll have to excuse me as I have a Heath bar with a Diet Coke for breakfast.

Yo Chris and Andrew,
Great time @ the Eagles game. Sure we’ll do it again. As the immortal Mark “Squirrell” Wiseguy would say…Rock on with your bad selves!
Comment by Vince — September 27, 2005 @ 9:30 am
Touché Princess Fionna; but it’s also worth mentioning that for the most fun, it’s always the guys who may be slightly above their fighting weight that bring on the jocularity and good times.
Those men who place their fat vs. muscle ratios above all else, and not the good times of a hoagie eating, beer drinking, tail-gating-get-together, yuck fest, are probably not a whole lot of FUN to hang around in the first place.
So really the question is do you want men who look good, or ones that always find and celebrate the good times? Plus, big guys are grateful, and look after their women a whole lot better.

Don’t forget to mark in your calender the Giants game on Dec 11th. There’ll be a big turnout for this one!
Comment by Chris — September 27, 2005 @ 10:06 am
I would like to second the thoughts of the wise Jabba the Hutt-Hutt. Fionna and Fit-Chick need to come hang in the lot for a game or two. They’d find the intellectual power amazing, the attention to detail incredible and pedestals galore which these slightly waist challenged executives have put their women up on. Don’t think they’d get the same attention from their six packed spotting partner at Golds Gym.

One thing that needs to be brought up to these Cowboy fans is the tightness of Jerry Jones’ face. Whoever did his facelift should be ashamed of themselves. If he gets a zit there’s a danger his whole face might explode. Especially since his brain is mostly air.
Comment by Plastic Surgeon — September 27, 2005 @ 5:10 pm
Jabba & Moving Waistline:
I did the “not-so-fit” thing once (8 years) and it didn’t work. Ok, I admit… I married down.
He got jealous/ lost self-confidence/ got nasty when I received fantastic attention from other men and the whole thing went downhill. (Mind you, I’m not the “flaunting” type, even though I AM from Dallas. Rare. I know.)
Now my standards have changed. If I’m attractive AND have the personality to go with it, why shouldn’t I expect the same? Why lower my standards when I can have it all, including the money?

You have a nice Irish name. Please do not equate a flat stomach with having it all. A little bit of handle can be a good thing.
Comment by Same Age and Waistline — September 27, 2005 @ 7:34 pm
Same Age & Waistline,
Flat stomach? In my book it’s not even muscle that “makes the look.” How one cares for himself is reflective of self image in many cases. Weight is almost always something that can be controlled, as is seen in the “big men” that Andrew interviewed. They were only interested in food, and apparently not in healthy portions.
Question for Andrew, our fearless podcaster: What do you do to stay so hot looking? Is it natural and you’re loving the Tex Mex that Dallas offers?
Comment by Princess Fionna — September 27, 2005 @ 8:14 pm
Oh Fionna,
How shallow indeed. Lowering your standards, by choosing a physically imperfect man?
Sad.
If we then follow this logic; when a women gets to that point when (and completely beyond her control) menopause sets in and she looses self confidence & gets nasty to a point the guys should leave her?
Estrogen level shifts and a tailgaters desire to eat and drink with his friends are really the same thing.
And as for the flaunting, that’s merely what the tailgaters are doing anyway.
If given a choice I’d pick a slightly slovenly Eagles loyalist over a superficial Cowboy bandwagon jumper any day.

Ok Coach Bill I resemble that remark.I cant throw a football. How ever did stay at a holiday inn last night.
THe difference is surrounding the “Link” or the “new Vet” verses where the Cowboys play in Irving is neighborhoods and the Subway. Neither one Jerry JOnes gives a shit about. THey will tear down the houses to build his stadium.
NO STYLE I guess is what Im saying. THe Rant continues. and my other 2 cents
Andrew
Perhaps I will do a podcast from a Dallas game to be fair and try and find the same flair. I need a hit list of comps.. Like is gambleing tolerated and typs of food. Cowboy Jerseys avarage age and the likes…Feel free to add to the list….Who really does have better tailgates?
Comment by Administrator — September 28, 2005 @ 2:50 pm
Yo Admin,
Save your audio storage space and the fuel it’ll take to drive to Texas stadium. No city west of the Mississippi has any decent football hysteria like the east coast teams do.
Maybe it’s the subways, culture, franchise history or just plain old generations of fans passing down the traditions, but a place like Dallas won’t have the juice that the Eagles, Giants, Redskins, Bears or Packers to name a few.
And before any of the “you guys are fat slobs” brigade chime in, I know-I know, these cities all of have ugly, beer drinking, bratwurst eating, overweight, no good tailgating slobs, but, and perhaps this is the common thread, old school NFL teams and their fans have unique connection to their teams, and the only downside is that they pack on a few more pounds here and there.
Interview the typical “Americas team” fan and you’re most likely going to find either some new oil-money trust baby, or a desperate housewife wannabe with the silicone upgrades and a hairdo to match.
I’ll give you America’s team Statue of Liberty:
“Give me your loud, your portly,
Your huddled masses yearning to drink freely,
The wretched refuse of your teeming parking lots.
Send these, the hopeless, tequila-tossed to me,
I lift my turnstile beside the Eagles Green stadium door!”
Comment by Guvork — September 28, 2005 @ 3:43 pm
That last comment almost brought me to tears but Im a tough East Coast guy and I cant cry in public. I guess its time to analyze the difference between an Eagle Tailgate Party and a Cowgirl tailgate party.
Top 5 things at an Eagle Tailgate
1. Bud Light
2. Bud Light
3. Bud Light
4. Bud Light
5. Cheesesteak

4. T-Bone and ketchup
5. Lots and lots silicone

In Dallas, we don’t play with little wooden horsey’s. We ride real horse to the game. It works out well when the eagles come to town, because your women always keep our horses entertained , while we watch game.
Comment by Freddy Five Rings — September 28, 2005 @ 6:58 pm
Guvork,
You’ve got me all wrong.
Oh Fionna,
How shallow indeed. Lowering your standards, by choosing a physically imperfect man?
I want someone at least equal to my attractiveness (give or take a little. After all, we all have morning breath.) The “less” perfect I am, the less I can expect. If I had a fat, unkept look like those men, how could I expect to get an attractive man? Remember, men are most turned on by looks.
If we then follow this logic; when a women gets to that point when (and completely beyond her control) menopause sets in and she looses self confidence & gets nasty to a point the guys should leave her?
Hopefully the relationship has grown deeper than looks by the time aging occurs, however there is not an excuse for on-going nastines. Hopefully they’re aging at the same rate and they’re a perfect match.
Estrogen level shifts and a tailgaters desire to eat and drink with his friends are really the same thing.
see above
And as for the flaunting, that’s merely what the tailgaters are doing anyway.
That’s nothing to be proud of unless you’re trying out for the Animal House Reunion movie.
If given a choice I’d pick a slightly slovenly Eagles loyalist over a superficial Cowboy bandwagon jumper any day.
I hope you’re not implying that attractive people are superficial. I have not a drop of silicon in my body.
You sure are defending these guys. Something personal going on there? Please describe thyself.

Comment by Fit Chick — September 28, 2005 @ 10:30 pm
Ladies and Gentlemen of Dallas and Philadelphia, allow a semi-unbiased, West Coast observer his due. This link was sent to me by the esteemed individual on the far right in the photo above; I was fortunate to have gone to college with him. (Hey, Mark. Thanks.) I’ve read, with keen interest, every one of the comments here, and have been most amused. How this tennis match has bounced back and forth between Dallas and Philly, from football to fitness (or lack thereof). . .truly fascinating.
In any case, there’s nothing like a good tailgater, regardless of the parking lot. OK, I’ll amend that: I’d stay out of Oakland. Anyway, Fionna and Chick, you should try it sometime. Moderation in all things, I say (especially moderation). You can stay fit all week long, but having a brat and a couple of fermented sodas ain’t gonna kill you on Sunday.
Now, here’s where I enter “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” territory. Having been born in Los Angeles and lived in Orange County the past quarter century, I was raised a Rams fan. Win or lose–and, yes, we know, there were plenty of losses–they were always my team.
But I now know how Brooklyn feels. The Rams left, and now they don’t exist in My World anymore. (Indeed, may Georgia and John rot forever in the deepest hole in . . .well, see Oakland, above.) For that matter, I don’t pay much attention to the NFL (I’m more of a college ball fan, anyway and, for the record, I despise USC).
But there is still one opinion I hold from the Old Days: First, as my lovely wife is from PA–nearer Pittsburg, actually–and my Pal in the Picture lives in Philly, I certainly hold no animosity toward the Eagles. Gimme some Love, Brothers!
Second, and most important, I always thought that the Cowboys were rather arrogant in crowning themselves “America’s Team.” Why? Because they have stars on their helmets? Big deal. (Oh, and, by the way, congrats to Dallas on ruining what was otherwise a good-looking uniform; the current edition looks like a lame Pro Bowl uni.)
And so it comes down to this: I must echo what Big Mike said at the beginning of this Meeting of the Brain Trust. . .
Dallas sucks.

Jesus, how did I get here ? Oh, that’s right….. I googled ” Whining Losers ” and it brought me here.
Dallas didn’t crown themselves ” America’s Team ” ….the media did. A wide angle shot of the stadium shows as much blue as the home colors……. almost everytime the boy’s hit the road. America identifies with ” WINNERS & CLASS ” , definitely absent from many teams around the league……..especially the NE Cities. Philly is without a doubt the jewel on the classless crown of NE teams.
Examples you say :
1. Bounty bowl
2. Tossing full beers on visiting fans & players
3. Tossing snow balls ( some stuffed with batteries )
4. Applauding the career ending injury of a champion WR
And on & on…….I grow bored of listing your classless acts.
Your comments about criminals is weak. All teams have their mistakes and trouble makers. Can you spell T.O. ? O’ that’s right , I need to spot you the T.
Cowboy players make mistakes off the field , but at least they have good character …….still struggling it’s T ……..blank.
Want to win the big one Philly ? Try classing up your act. Maybe then the good lord will provide some blessing for your team…. as he’s done on his chosen team in Big D.

Hey Five Rings,
These all describe home field advantage. What’s the point?
And as far as Irvin being a champion….is this only because he has a Super Bowl win?
Comment by Guvork — September 29, 2005 @ 11:16 am
Gujerk,
Obviously, that home field advantage is critical part of your strategy , with your shallow talent pool. This does explain, yet not justify , your classless actions. As far as your comments about Irvin, he did win 3 Superbowls..not a Superbowl. Doesn’t surprise me that Philly fans have no concept of what really is a champion. It’s not winning 3 NFC title games , then choking for the BIG ONE !
Too bad the Super Bowl will never be played in Philly, maybe you’d have a chance to win ………not to mention showing your ass on a global scale.
