Sharon Ellman AP Photo. Their stars never go away. But the old Cowboys are everywhere. Yes, that even includes Emmitt Smith. He pretty much ruined this funny "Just For Me" commercial series when he was added to the lineup with Keith Hernandez and Clyde Frazier.
Your beard IS weird, Emmitt. Does any other owner with the exception of Mark Cuban -- maybe it's a Texas thing? He has a radio show. He does interviews every week. Accountability is nice, but it sure seems like it's Jerry Overload. Insufferable fans. The Cowboys went from , and still, their fans carry themselves like they're pulling a wagonload of Lombardi Trophies.
And speaking of wagonloads Michael Ainsworth AP Photo. Bandwagon fans. They come out of the woodwork, most Cowboys fans, the moment their team puts together a remotely good season. And when they're ? You cannot have a bandwagon without a cowboy driving it. Tony Gutierrez AP Photo. Celebrity fans. Chris Christie is a Cowboys fan. Denzel Washington is a Cowboys fan. LeBron James is a Cowboys fan, so please, city of Cleveland, remember this if he's ever cheering the Browns when they make the playoffs again in Even Troy Aikman is thinking, "Is he going to stop talking?
They hosted an awful Super Bowl. Instead, there was one plow for the entire state of Texas, the fan experience was awful and, to top it off, hundreds of fans couldn't see the game when temporary bleachers failed inspection. Ronald Martinez Getty Images. We were going to make another point here but his expression in this photo has frozen our capacity think clearly. In writing about the latest chapter in the stand-or-kneel controversy, what Jackson omits is where all of this got started.
Anyone who chooses to study a tree needs to look first at its roots. And so it is with Cowboys' hatred. It began in November , when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. The Cowboys played a game in Cleveland two days after the assassination, in what amounted to one of the stupidest decisions in the history of sports. Then-National Football League commissioner Pete Rozelle refused to cancel the weekend's games less than 48 hours after a truly shocking moment in the nation's history.
And why? Because, he said, Kennedy would have wanted the games to be played. Say what? So, the Cowboys played, and the trip as a whole was a mess. I wrote about that in this piece , which we published near the 50 th anniversary of Kennedy's death. Unlike any other city that has served as a dateline of assassination, Dallas was dubbed "the city of hate. United Nations ambassador Adlai Stevenson was heckled and hit on the forehead with a placard weeks before Kennedy came to Dallas. He advised the president not to come to Dallas.
So did retail giant Stanley Marcus, who knew Kennedy and the mood of his city. Even Lyndon B. Johnson, Kennedy's vice president and a Texan, had, with his endearing wife Lady Bird by his side, faced a jeering, spitting mob on Commerce Street during the campaign.
Leading the mob was Republican congressman Bruce Alger, who shouted: "I don't think it's rude to show a socialist and traitor what you think of him. Their meetings over, the mayors were having drinks when one of them wisecracked, "How does it feel to be the mayor of the city that killed the president? The Dallas of was deeply right wing, so in the aftermath of the assassination, the Cowboys, with the lone blue stars on their helmets, served as gargantuan, slow-moving targets.
An entire episode was dedicated to the Owner of the Cowboys. Not the coach, roster bubble players the reason Hard Knocks was such a success in the first place , or the QB.
