Every time they win, the headline is “Eagles trump” this team or “Eagles bury” this team.

Like they’re this amazing team or something.

If you have to pose the question then no you are not!!!!

this country is going to the dogs. :)

asses on a weekly basis. Trouble is, your team would actually have to be popular outside the Philly area, and I’m pretty sure they’re not.

I am 51 years old and was born and raised in Waco Texas (100 miles south of Dallas) and have NEVER met anyone from here that are fans of any other team other than the Cowboys, we are true blue here and always will be, Tom Landry was and is a legend in this state, something that was captured in the animated tv show King of the Hill, where the Tom Landry Middle school is (fictional of course) but in this state some day there will likely be schools named for him, like Jim Bowie, Stephen F Austin, and Davy Crockett, other legends of Texas.

In my life i have lived in several states and outside the U.S. while in the military, and i saw cowboys fans everywhere i lived including overseas, i have yet in my life to see eagles fans anywhere else, and i guarantee that is you are in another country and you mention nfl football they will say cowboys, most have never heard of the eagles.

I saw a report a few years ago that said the more merchandise was sold with the Cowboys logo than any other NFL team, Eagles were not even on the top 10 list. in reality the Eagles could not at this time even begin to be considered “Americas Team” and likely never will, they are and will always be a regional team, the Cowboys are to Pro Football what the Yankees are to Pro Baseball.

So Eagles fans, you can gripe, and whine and say whatever you want, but your team will NEVER be on the same level as the boys and that is a fact. historically the Cowboys skip a decade for greatness, they started there run in the late 60s and were pretty great until the start of the 80s, then by the early 90s they were great again, they are on the verge of greatness again, and you will see this in the next few years.

Dallas and Giants have 4 but the Cowboys’ shitload of bandwagon fans inflated two of those games vs the Giants

that tells you that it’s biased. If you wanna argue, be unbiased.

The reason Dallas has so many fans across the country is ONLY because those people jumped on the bandwagon and never got off

.

How do you justify that? If a person becomes a fan and stays through thick and thin, where is the bandwagonism? I live in Northern Delaware and didn’t start watching football until I hit 40. As I watched some games, it became pretty apparent that the Cowboys were the class team of the NFL. So I decided to go with a winner. And have stayed with them. It also was funny to see the local Eagle fandom get their panties in a bunch whenever they saw me wearing my colors. I think I enjoyed that as much as watching my ’Boys rake in the Lombardies.

My dad was born in Fort Worth, I was born in MO. I chose the Cowboys over the Greatest show on turf when the Cowboys were horrible. I don’t recall a single superbowl the boys played in and I have pretty much followed this team with an inordinate amount of passion even though for the past decade the’ve been fairly silent (until Romo the best DC QB I’d seen in person was Bledsoe!). Does that mean I jumped on the bandwagon?
Truth is, your idea of all fans not rooting for the team nearest their hometown makes them fairweather is unsubstantiated and unfair.
And really, there is no way an argument like this could ever be dealt with reason.

The Iggles seem to be the only fans who feel that unless you live in, or adjacent to, the city where your favorite team plays, then you are a bandwagon fan.

This is the dumbest basis for an argument I’ve yet to see anywhere on SBNation. Not surprised it’s from Philly fans however.
