While in Dallas this weekend, I got to catch the Cowboys-Redskins game. I know that this is the last year for the Cowgirls Cowboys at Texas Stadium. All I can say is, it’s about time. That place is a dump. Compared to Reliant stadium in Houston, Texas Stadium is ridiculously outdated. So maybe a future Dallas home game will be more impressive.
I know that Jerry Jones and the media love to tout the Cowboys as America’s team. While most of America would dispute that, I do know of one country that is all theirs. That would be our neighbor in the south, Mexico. I saw a ton of Spanish signs like “Viva los Cowboys”, and “Cowboys Numero Uno!”. Now just because a hispanic person is wearing a Cowboys jersey doesn’t mean they are Mexican, but I’m going to base this theory on geography. I wish I had taken a pic of the guy wearing a Cowboys jersey that said, “Vaqueros”.
Anyway, it’s no secret that I’m no Cowboys fan. I just can’t force myself to root for a team with such great role models like Terrell Owens, Pac-Man Jones, Tank Johnson, etc. So when the group I was with (all Cowboys fans) decided to put a pot together for guessing the final score, I was the only one that picked the Redskins. So not only did I enjoy seeing the Cowboys lose, I got $50 out of it. You know what I call that? A good weekend.
By the way, my final score prediction was Redskins 27, Cowboys 24. I was off by one point.
