The Dallas Sports Scene

Oh happy day! The Cowboys are in training camp and we can forget about all those irritating things like the drought and the debt standoff. Who needs it when we can hear pearls of wisdom from the Great Arkansas Guru (GAG for short) Jerry Jones.
It never ceases to amaze me how the sports media in Dallas fawns over the Cowboys. This is a team that has not won a Super Bowl in sixteen years. They have not had a Hall of Fame player since Emmit Smith retired. Since the Cowboys last won the Super Bowl, the Stars have been to two Stanley Cup Finals, winning one. The Mavericks have been to two NBA finals, winning one. The Rangers have been to the World Series. FC Dallas has been to the MLS Final. SMU has won a bowl game. TCU has won the Rose Bowl. All that and yet the Cowboys are still the main attraction, a carryover from the day when they were the only game in town and winning Super Bowls. Mark my words, the Dallas Cowboys will not be serious contenders until people stop going to the games and stop buying the merchandise. Until that happens GAG has no reason to win.
