I need this win!

I need this win in week 11!!! I know that the Dallas Cowboys need it, for their season, for their confidence, to have a chance of making it to the playoffs they need this win. I get all of that, but my point is that I, personally, need this win!

I know that most everyone one this blog lives in enemy territory, and knows how tough it can be. I live in Redskins country though, and let me tell you, with them having a good year and beat us at out place it is especially tough. Giants fans know it will be tougher the next time they play us, we put on an offensive clinic against the Eagles, but we lost, at home, to the Redskins and that is hard to deal with here.

But it is not just the fans. I listen to sports talk radio all the time, I can't even remember if my car has FM or not. The problem is that as bad as ESPN is, it is all I get except Redskins Radio. So I grin and bear it a lot, listen to the love-hate fest that network has with us until about 3 pm when the worst local sports talk guy in the country comes on. He is horrible (not even a Skins fan, a Rams fan) I have not met anyone who likes to listen to this guy, but yet he has been on the air for over 15 years. So to stop this insanity I tune into the Redskins talk show to entertain myself.

They have in the past done a pretty decent job of being fair and unbiased in recent years. I guess that was only because the Redskins were just barely above a bottom rung team, even on playoff years for them they just squeaked in so it was too bad to listen to, But now, now that they think they are Gods of the NFL I can't do it anymore, I can listen to them talk about how great they are (barely, but I can tolerate that because they are playing decent) but what I can't stand is that the only other thing that do is bash the Boys! Even when we aren't part of their conversation they come up with a way to bash us, be it a TO blowing up the team comment, or Pacman is a thug, or Tank is a thug, or Jerry is the coach of the team.

The reason I decided to rant about this is because of what I heard today. They were talking calls about any Skins topic and someone called in who was at the Monday night game and was horrified about the number of Steelers fans who were at the game, it almost seemed like the games was being played at Hines Field. After ranting about it for a second the host makes the comment that he can already feel the same thing happening for our games, that these IDIOTS (in reference to Cowboys fans--which I assume he knows all of us and our intelligence levels) will be there in full force. His co-host then went on to bash Cowboys fans saying we wouldn't even take a bus fare to an away game, let alone a flight up to FedEx and that we were the most fair-weathered fans in football. I probably missed the next 5 minutes of talk because I was screaming at my radio and telling John Thompson, the host, exactly what I thought of him and his opinions.

Bottom line, is that I hear nothing from Redskins radio and fans about how we are 1-2 in the last three because the team in falling apart, or is blowing up (not that we are decimated by injuries), or imploding and that they can count us out and our season is over that I need this win. To show my face to work on Tuesday (I will be making the 4 hour drive to the game Sunday night and taking Monday to bask in the glory of victory) I need the Dallas Cowboys to step up and win. Now I have not been talking trash to anyone, I have been quiet and just responded to heckling, we'll find out in a couple weeks when we get healthy--just make sure I can find you at the end of the season ok? So I need this win, I am sure they are more of me out there in Redskin country who feel the same way as me, but I NEED THIS WIN!!!!

I know I've said it before,

but I’ll puke if we lose that one. Someone will have to drag me out of that stadium.

I live in Virginia Beach...

… and i heard that sh** on the radio too as I was driving home from work.

my blood was starting to boil and i was seething, so i quickly changed the station to Smooth Jazz 107.7.

during my lunch break, that stupid doofus kevin sheehan and forever skins backup TE doc walker will take calls. and when a respectful cowboys fan calls in and makes a valid point that refutes something that doofus sheehan says, sheehan will hang up on the guy and make some snide remark about him being a cowboys fan and change the subject.

i so feel your pain.

and i hope and pray that we win in DC on Week 11.

I live in P-town

and was crossing the West Norfolk Bridge when they were on today. The funny thing is that these guys who talk about Cowboys fans being fair-weather fans is that they were all ready to bury the Skins under an overpass when they lost to the Giants week 1.

First to six!!!

yes, sir...

…and you know that those hypocrites would never ever admit what they previously said back then nor would they ever admit how fickle they are.

our Boys need to beat the Skins and go on a winning streak!!!

You guys don't know pain

Until you’ve heard the Redskins radio broadcast. I would rather miss the game completely than hear those old morons try to talk football. Sonny jurgenson goes off on tangents at the most random times about the most random things. Complete morons, all 3 of them…
However I will rep BTB VERY WELL at FedEx, and can’t wait til Romo and company burn that place to the ground (knock on wood)…

in my blue and silver, ignoring the comments of morons to the my best of abilities.

First to six!!!

If you're a Cowboys fan..

Certainly you’ve learned to deal with this tripe by now. How is it that this team works its way in to every conversation? How every team out there acts like their game with us is their Superbowl? Seriously, do the Giant/Eagles/Redskins matchups generate even a third of the hot air that the Cowboy games do? Cowboys contribute to global warming as far as I’m concerned due to the blowhards from all over spewing their hatred of everything about this team. I’ve become comfortably numb to their ramblings anymore, after being exposed to it for about 1,000 times.
