Just a reminder folks, Skinner is expecting civility on this board.
That means you refer to the Dallas Cowboys, either as the Dallas Cowboys or America's Team.

Springsteen's concerts aren't rock shows so much as they are religious experiences.

15. Hey! You a huge Big Sky Fan now that Iowa is moving to that conference?
Edited on Fri May-14-10 08:32 PM by madinmaryland
They're making way for all the Big East Teams moving into the Big Ten (now to be the Big Twenty!)

:D

16. Well, mad. The deal is...your favorite team..the fighting Amish...
..will only join the Big Ten if the Big East is destroyed. No wonder joey isn't weighing in here. What a fucking embarassment.

17. You see, Condem, it is a natural fit for Iowa and Minnesota to move to the
Big Sky and join the other upper plains schools. I do like the sound of the Big Twenty, which would have the Big 10 teams left in one division and the other Big Easy teams in the other division. Then would could have one HUGH conference championship game at the end of the year, and Ohio State could annually kick the Big Easy division for the Big Twenty conference championship!!

19. It's perfectly civil to diss the the douche bags who pretensiously call themselves "America's Team"
To diss the Dallas Cowboys is to defend civilization.

23. First of all . . .
. . . "quiche-eater" is a fan who thinks the designated hitter is God's gift to baseball, or sees the benefit of others rules in other sports which artificially tilt the balance toward the offense on the mistaken belief that a high scoring game is somehow more exciting that a tense, strategic struggle.

Second, I recall a poster (no names, but his initials are Md/Md) who recently made a ridiculous statement about the 49ers' Super Bowl rings being asterisked because of the criminal nature of the team's former owner. Excuse me, but Mr. De Bartolo may have had some shady friends like Governor Edwards, but he knew how an owner should run a football team. So he ran it that way; he hired Bill Walsh and told him to do his thing. All he had to do with the 49ers' success during those years was write the checks to pay the bills.

So, Mr. De Bartolo, criminal though he may have been, never suited up for a single play. Now compare that to the Cowboys, for whom criminals do suit up and take the field.

27. I am glad that you are able to admit that "Mr." DeBartolo is a convicted criminal.
While the Dallas Cowboys have hired athletes that have had criminal convictions, they have not been owned by a convicted criminal. Rather than a top-down enterprise, the Cowboys like all of the other NFL teams have had a few players that have convictions.

Interestingly, the 49'ers had an owner who is a convict (like the Yankees). I would say that only a "quiche-eater" would support an owner like George Steinbrenner.

I'll you what, Md/Md, if Dallas needs a place to keep the Cowboys during the off season, we'll let them use Alcatraz.
