Dallas Cowboys - America's Team

[yogib37 3]

I've never quite understood that label. "America's team". Ive lived in many different cities including Dallas and it seems there's more Packers or Steelers or even Giants fans than Cowboys.

I wonder where the moniker "America's team" came from. I know its not from number of league championships because the niners and packer and giants have more. it certainly did not come because of superbowl wins (niners and steelers have the same). I mean who ever thought the Cowboys were the team favored by a majority of the population. I actually think more Americans dislike the team than like them.

Yes that is very true. I am a Steelers Fan. I been for 38 years. I lived in Dallas, I love to bug the cowboy fans. they always asked who is my favorite team and I told them, any team that Plays the cowboys :lol:

Cowboys are a bunch of arrogant and flamboyat show boaters. they choke when they when they need to win.

F the Cowboys

I thought that they just bought that name like they did everything else back before the salary cap was implemented. I don't think they have been quite the dominate team once the playing field was leveled out for everyone. Just like the N.Y. Yankees buying all the talent in the world due to a seemingly endless supply of money. But with all that said, they do look like a good team again, and definitely have SB potential. They just need to calm down in the play-offs.

to get to the superbowl, they have to win playoff games, and they lost their last 11 or so playoff games and were knock out on there first game.. so they can have all the talent they want, it does not matter if they can't win when it is important like playoff games...

Simple they choke in playoffs.

From wikipedia:

The term America's Team is a popular nickname in American sports that most often refers the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League.

Bob Ryan, the Vice President and editor-in-chief of NFL Films, coined this for the Cowboys in 1979. After preparing and editing the team’s 1978 season highlight film he had to come up with a title for the film. As a life long fan, Bob decided the title would be a great fit.

It seems the label came from a lifelong Cowboy fan. What a surprise.

Go Giants!!!!
