NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - Off Season

[SlowwHand]

Whatever floats your current boat.

The Cowboys are the most successful team of the modern era (since 1960). They have won 5 Super Bowls and 8 Conference Championships. The Cowboys have more victories (40) on Monday Night Football than any other NFL team; the Miami Dolphins are 2nd with 39 and the San Francisco 49ers are 3rd with 38.[5] They hold NFL records for the most consecutive winning seasons (20, from 1966 to 1985) and most seasons with at least 10 wins (24). The team has earned the most postseason appearances (28, which includes another league record of 55 postseason games, winning 32 of them), the most appearances in the NFC Championship Game (14), and the most Super Bowl appearances (8), two more than any other NFL team. The Cowboys also played in 2 NFL championship games before the NFL's 1970 merger with the American Football League. The Cowboys became the first team in NFL history to win 3 Super Bowls in just 4 years (a feat that has been matched only once since, by the New England Patriots). They are also tied with the San Francisco 49ers and the Pittsburgh Steelers for having the most Super Bowl wins (5). The Cowboys' success and popularity has earned them the nickname "America's Team".

In whose lifetime? There are kids in high school who were born after the last time the Cowboys did anything.

Who cares about some back in the day ****. We talking in the past 12 years.

If poly is around in 20 years that quote will be gold.

Quote me on this one... inscribe it on clay to be preserved like Sumerian tablets for 4000 years... another gentleman's wager with Sloww, perhaps?

The Cowboys will not win a Super Bowl this decade. I'd even hazard a guess that they won't win a Super Bowl with Jerry Jones as owner but NFL owners seem to routinely live into their 90's and I don't think even Jerry Jones can hold his team back for another 20 years. No Super Bowl victory this decade. 2011-2020 seasons.

The only thing that Snyder has over Jerry Jones is that he didn't fire Tom Landry.

Since Snyder took over, the Washington Redskins are 2-3 in the playoffs whereas the Cowboys are 1-5 in the same time-frame.

The proof is in the pudding. Fine, the Cowboys had more playoff appearances but they did nothing with them. At least the Skins won two playoff games the past dozen years. Don't denigrate your team below the level of the Dallas team. Why are you doing that?

[ColdWizard]

Are you genuinely stupid or do you truly have no idea how far Snyder has driven this team into the ground? I suggest you look for which team has finished last in the NFC East the past three seasons and five of the last seven.

[Al B. Sure!]

It's your team. Go talk **** about it all you want then. Go praise Jerry Jones and his Cowgirls. Up to you, I guess.

Why don't you be a Cowboys fan, the way you're hyping them up?

[-Jrabbit]

It's official. Pre-Super Bowl boredom has set in.

[Al B. Sure!]

I know right. The worst time of year. One more football game to be played (and it's Packers vs. Steelers ) and then nothing til who know's how long with the CBA situation.

I bet Jerry Jones is tired of accidents involving his facilities.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Hard ice and heavy snow slid off Cowboys Stadium's domed roof Friday, leaving at least six people injured after another blast of winter slammed North Texas, officials said.Super Bowl XLV

Crews responded to a series of injury calls at the Super Bowl venue after the ice started falling to ground in chunks Friday afternoon, according to the Arlington Fire Department, which said six people were taken to hospitals.

The two most seriously injured were listed in stable condition, the department said. None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said as many as seven people might have been injured, including one who suffered a possible concussion and another with a shoulder injury.

All stadium entrances, except for a truck tunnel, were closed after the ice and snow began falling from the roof.

"The likelihood is they'll have to get somebody up there to get the snow off as soon as possible," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. "They likely will be doing that in the next 24 hours."

They've turned the heat on max inside the stadium to try and help melt the ice.

Forget about qualifying to play in the Super Bowl; the football gods have decreed that Dallas won't even be able to host it properly. The weather has made this week a total disaster for the city, the team, and the league.

At least in a cold-weather city, they know how to deal with adverse conditions.

Well the fans have been begging for a cold-weather Super Bowl, guess no one expected it'd happen so soon!

[SlowwHand]

Snow and ice are rare. It's usually just cold and wind.
