My hate builds with every passing minute.

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles...

When I was in Dallas for the Thanksgiving game 10 years ago this week (Jimmy Johnson’s return to Texas Stadium as Dolphin’s HC), I spoke with the great Harvey Martin about the Rivalry. He told me about the “wreath” game, where somebody (Cowboys claim it was the Redskins but they of course denied it) sent a funeral wreath into the Cowboys locker room prior to the game with the inscription “Sympathy for an Impending Loss”. After the Cowboys won, Martin stormed over to the Redskins locker and while they were gathered together, threw the wreath at them, made a choice comment, and left.

The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!

Went to Catholic U in DC '72-'76

Attended a game @ RFK w a fraternity brother, who is now GM for CAR. We lost to a Billy Kilmer lead squad I hated more than any other opponent . When I moved to HOU he and I attended DAL-WAS in Texas Stadium where Roger famously signaled to the original #88 at the LOS and hit him w a 70yd TD pass. Then we went to RFK for opening day ’81, where a Rookie FS, Micheal Downs picked off Theismann at the goal line and ran it back 96 yds.

Some of my most hated rivals come from those teams – Kilmer, Pat Fisher, D Talbot and of course, George Allen. Some of our best rivals came from those teams as well – Larry Brown used to kill us. Ken Houston and his famous goal-line tackle on a MNF game. I think the ‘wreath game’ you mention above was Roger’s last, the famous 35-34 finale where they came back twice from 17 pt deficits.

Always be more than you appear and never appear to be more than you are

Great video. Thanks. I love how East teams bring in coaches to beat us. Who was it that made it an emphasis at his press conference.

Ok...so, now Haynesworthless is NOT playing.
Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth, though listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys with a sprained ankle, probably will not be healed in time to play, a league source said.

The loss of Haynesworth would be significant, especially against the Cowboys’ physical front, because of the job he has done controlling the interior. Kedric Golston would start in place of Haynesworth, who has 27 tackles and three sacks this season.

There was interesting stat I found on the skins dallas games.

No HC in the history of the team has a losing record against the deadskins, not campo, switzer, or gailey; these guys all had a winning record against this team. Dallas would have to be swept by the skins for 10 straight years before they could even out the head-to-head series. I am not stating this to say that is why the boys will win but it is probably the second largest margin of dominance by dallas only rivaled by the former NFC east team known as the cardinals (aka the buzzsaw).

Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
