I actually feel sorry for their fans... And I'm a Cowboys fan. Miss the ol rivalries between to two teams when both were better respected.

I 100% agree.

Also, I hate you and Fox Sports Cowboy loving bias.

But you are also 100% agree, Washington has sucked for so long, I don't even look forward to the rival game anymore.

When I moved to DC in the 1980’s everyone talked about the Redskins everywhere. People at the grocery store would talk to each other about the games. You’d see Redskins flags everywhere, and there was always chatter at work about the team. The news was always fun to read articles about the team, and it was a massive, shared cultural experience.

Snyder has squandered all of that since he bought the team. Entire generations of kids have grown up thinking the Redskins are losers and either don’t care about football at all, or root for some other team. Hardly anyone talks about the team at work, amongst friends, or in bars. Most people I know who have gone to games in the last 10 years go to support the other team.

I’ve never seen such destruction of goodwill and a tearing down of a cultural icon in such a short period of time. But here we are.

I hope they sell and leave town.

I vote for both the team AND the town to leave the planet. We'll, maybe that's a bit harsh... The players and coaches can stay and start anew.

Hey... I even get sick of all the bias.. It's like they have the Cowboys as Super Bowl contenders every year.. I mean cmon.. Let's go deep into the playoffs a few times first.

Two things are certain in life:

The Cowboys as Super Bowl contenders in the preseason

Notre dame ranked insanely high/“this is our year” in the preseason

Have you not followed the news for the last 10 years? Penn State was the first but certainly not the only school

The only reason is because of the size of the fan base. The Cowboys are never “poised for a deep playoff run.” I used to love to hate them. But they have been bad for so long it’s not even sporting anymore. How I sport in g is it? It would be like waiting for a three legged dog to get up off the ice only to hit it with a stick and wait for it to try to get up again. It’s that UNSPORTING. But, good luck cowboys, I hope you and the raiders finally do something.

Also: the dez Bryant playoff game was a catch.

It’s always better when you respect your rival. Looking back I miss the Jim Harbaugh days.
