Can I Rant? Oh I sure can!
So obviously you know by now that the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Minnesota Vikings yesterday in a 34-3 loss. Yes, the game pissed me off from start to finish. Yes, I was screaming at the TV the entire time. Yes, I wish I could have just turned the TV off at the start of the 4th quarter, but I just couldn't bring myself around to do it. I was sitting with someone who basically said "We need a big name quarterback. Tony Romo is not it. I have never liked Tony Romo, even when he was doing well". Well shit. This leads me to defend the man of my dreams because... yeah he didn't have a lovely game yesterday, but is he really that horrible of a quarterback? I know plenty of teams in the NFL that would kill to have Tony Romo as their quarterback. The man's numbers were incredible this year. He has improved so much since he started as the quarterback for America's Team. And to say he's horrible... are you watching the same Tony Romo that I am?
With that... I say, there are way too many fairweather fans. Too many fans on the bandwagon. When we are winning they love the Cowboys, when we are losing they hate the Cowboys. Isn't that always the case? Every year. I heard on The Fan today that the pro shop had only sold $80 of merch and that people were coming in and returning their Cowboys gear. Seriously? I bought a Tony Romo jersey the night before the big game, and I didn't go out and return it the day after they lost. Sorry, I'm not on a bandwagon. Yeah, I've been a fucking fan of the Cowboys for as long as I can remember. Aikman days. Yes, I'm 26 so I haven't seen it all, but I've seen a lot over the years. And I know we hadn't won a playoff game in 3 million years, so when we won one this year... I was thrilled (as were all the other fans). But because they lost to the Vikings, everyone seems to forget that we have come so far. Sure, we didn't make it to the Super Bowl. Guess what? At the beginning of the season no one would have guessed we would have even made it this far. Remember when the Broncos were on a roll, winning game after game? Did they even make it to the playoffs? No.
Yes, I'm ranting, but I'm allowed to. It's my team, and I feel like kicking the ass of every Cowboys fan out there who goes around talking shit and hating on the team they were just giving so much praise to. You're not a fan, you're a "fan". Don't start talking shit. I hate the fact that people were hating on Romo at the beginning of the year, yet once we started winning and he started playing really well they were all wearing their Romo jerseys. Haters! Or people who were like "Fire Patrick Crayton" when the season started, yet he played 100 times better than Roy Williams could ever play. And the people out there who thought Miles Austin was a one game guy... he went on to prove you wrong and go on to the Pro Bowl.
So yeah, I'm bitter... but not at the Cowboys. I'm pissed at the fans out there who decide they don't like the team because of this loss. Get over it. We just have to look on to next year. I know we didn't want to have to. I know we wanted to continue on with this journey. But it's over for this year. Next year we will have to be even better. Next year the Super Bowl is at our house. And next year Brett Favre will (hopefully) be retired for good so he won't try running up scores on people and being the "classless" guy from yesterday. (Classless is in quotes for a reason... I'm not saying he was classless, but was he wrong... that's your debate, not mine)
