I'm surprised you've remained a Cowboys fan. Being a frontrunner and all, I would have assumed with nothing happening after 95, and then the Pats starting to win in 2001 you would have become a Pats fan and all, living in Boston.
Actually I live in Maine bwgood. However I do live in New England and Red Sox nation. I'm not a fair weather fan. I always stick with my childhood teams no matter what. Huh, we haven't been a front runner for 21 years. Hopefully that will change in the next two year. roll:
P.S. It could be worse. I could be a Browns, Chargers or Jets fan.
Those four teams under your username were not the best teams when you were younger? They coincidentally are pretty much the most storied teams of each sport....though StL does trail the Yankees in World Series victories.
My first two idols growing up were John Havlicek and Roger Staubach. That's were that started. I was about 10 years old at the time. An originally being from Northern Maine, we didn't get cable till the mid 70's. all we had at that time was a Canadian station and a CBS affiliate. Back then CBS had the NFC with my favorite commentators of Pat Summeral and Tom Brookshire. (I bet Otis remembers those guys to,

). So Every week it was the Giants and the double header was always the Cowboys due to their ratings which were always through the roof. I hated the Giants anyway and even when we did get cable in the mid 70's, it was too late. The damage was done and I got sucked in to America's team which stuck for life. How could any NFL fan not like going to 5 Super Bowls in an 8 year span with their favorite team? Becoming a Cardinal fan, all I will say to that is Bob Gibson.
