Roll Call: The three million edition

Been here a few months, enjoy the site immensely. I’m probably responsible for about 10,000 of those hits. Don’t taze me bro.

Couldn’t go to sleep, So I’m here reading about the Cowboys again. Pretty sad, huh.

been a cowboys fan for years and years – born in dallas, but haven’t lived there in nearly four decades. still, some things die hard.

i do wish the cowboys would make some noise in the playoffs. i’m not one of those fans who thinks that every season that doesn’t end in a super bowl victory is a failure, but the last time they got a post-season victory, bill clinton was still ‘celebrating’ with monica in the oval office…

Jay Cutler > Brady Quinn > Bill Buckner > Tony Romo

BigRigga31 a.k.a. Aaron.

I’ll celebrate my 1-year anniversary with BTB next month (draft time!).
I love the Cowboys and I love talking about the Cowboys. The analysis, information, and debates on this site are second to none.

Only discovered the Cowboys a few years ago, but now I cant get enough

Fan since mid 70s, first came to BTB in 2006… and thought we’d have won a playoff game by now. This year! This site seriously feeds my addiction — i check in nearly every day and often several times. Love the compiled news, original analysis and commentary, training camp coverage which makes me feel like I know the team more than we ever could before, and the ever expanding community. Great job Grizz and congrats on the 3M mark!

“How ’bout Dem COWBOYS!”

On The Record: Miles Austin has a break out year in 2009

Off The Record: By mid-season we’ll be celebrating, not only Miles Austin, but also Felix Jones, M. Bennett, Roy Williams, and Tashard Choice so much that “The Player” will not be missed or mentioned on this blog :)

Here as always need a new profile pic though any suggestions?

behind enemy lines but always ready for war! skins fans won’t know what hit them

This is my favorite site! I have followed Raf’s writing since theboysblog, but always visited this site every so often. Absolutely loved it when the sites merged. Many congrats, lets stay patient and faithful cowboys fans! Go Cowboys!

Canton this year. I’m getting stoked up for this coming season. My old high school buddy, Leon, just sent me a bunch of Cowboy collectibles from the Texas Stadium farewell. I’m 61 and still go nuts over things like that.

I’m representing the Cowboys in the bay area where i enjoy laughing at the Niners and Raiders. BTB is one of the best SB Nation blogs period, I don’t think any other of the blogs on SB Nation can match the type of info and analysis here on BTB.

Always good stuff

Die hard Cowboys fan here through the best and worst of times!

..it’s because I hit refresh so often. I’ll try & slow down.

i’m too damn lazy to change my signon name (created during the Billy P era). i drink excessively, particularly during cowboy games. i like boiled hamhocks. and I’mma Cowboy fan from the womb to the tomb…..(man I wish we could get Julius Peppers but it’ll never happen)

If I ever come to your house, hide the Hennessy….

But I really had no choice. My Grandpa and Dad started following them sometime before recorded history. If you’re in Oklahoma and have no ties elsewhere, you’re either a Cowboys fan, or your whole purpose in life is to hate them with a passion. I feel outnumbered…greatly.

Found this place, and thrive off of it, so I no longer have to tolerate the Cowboys site, or the DMN Cowboys blog. For that, I am eternally grateful.

Hear me roar!
GO COWBOYS!

Beautiful job on this blog – managing, writing and selecting the new writers. Also, I love that you keep the profanity and controversial non-football topics off-limits. Congrats on 3M – an amazing accomplishment.

This WI boy is about to get on a plane for Phoenix. I’ll miss checking in daily, but it’s always nice to spend an hour or so upon returing catching up.

Just think how many hits this blog will get during the two weeks before Dallas plays in the 2010 Super Bowl….

Great job, Grizz… and kudos to all the other guys that ceaselessly crank out material!

This place has become my one-stop source of information. While I don’t often join the debate, I do read the threads on a fairly regular basis. Great materia, great links, intelligent commentary… really impressive.

So you get a $1 per visitor right?

Being Australian I didn’t discover the NFL and the Cowboys until I was about twelve but I’ve been a fan ever since. I arrived just in time for the 90’s dynasty and that hooked me good. The last 5-6 years have been great for me as a fan because I have the Internet and cable now and can watch the games and have access to mountains more information online.

Found Rafael’s and Raul’s TheBoysBlog and followed them to BlueAndSilverReport and now BloggingTheBoys.

Started off with Raf and Raul’s site that will remain nameless, then BSR, read BTB but rarely commented… once the merge here full time- no time to comment that much anymore, but its must-read IT.

always here for the game threads-
KDP

checking in from West Orange, NJ. I can’t wait to see MBIII run over Canty twice a year!!!

I’ve been a Boy’s fan since mid 70’s and been reading and post a few now and again.

This is the 1st website i visit every morning and must of the time the last.

Congrads everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My name is Tom, diehard fan since 1979. One of the original followers of Grizz’s blog.

I also read Raf’s site but never commented.

This synergy from, IMO, the 2 best Cowboys blogs merging has been fantastic.

and thanks to my dad, i’m a Cowboys fan despite the fact that we live in Redskins country (boo).

my friends in real life call me “DC”… and again, it’s almost like destiny that dem initials could also stand for “Dallas Cowboys” — even though they don’t.

as i’ve often stated, BTB is my number one source for America’s Team news and it’ll probably remain that way til my time is up on this earth.

let’s get to the playoffs in ‘09-’10.
let’s win a playoff game in ‘09-’10.
let’s tie Pittsburgh for that sixth SB ring in ‘09-’10.

GO COWBOYS!!!

me: Hello…my name is Chauncey and I have a problem…
group:Hello Chauncey
me: I’m an addict
group: we’re all addicts…admitting it is half the problem
me: But I don’t want help with my addiction!!
group:????
me: I’m addicted to watching the Cowboys spank a$$
group: how long have you had this addiction Chauncey
me: Since 1975 in South Carolina where I was raised…continued it when I moved to North Carolina…
        and I really enjoy it more since I moved to the belly of the beast in NJ….MWWaaahahahahahahaaaa
        (don’t pretend like you don’t know the evil laugh!…)

Guns Up. Texas Tech Alum born and raised in Lubbock. Mom was a Cowboys fan, Dad was a cowboys fan, and my brother doesn’t follow football. I think he is adopted.

Heres a list of my friends that i watch football with

ravens: 2
eagles: 3+
steelers: 2+
skins: 1(very diehard)
giants: 1

Yeah thats my normal crowd i watch football with.. yup its a rough life.. i live in gettysburg, pa and its tough. Born 86’ told to be a cowboy fan 89’

oh and FANSHOT! i kid i kid

But I still cheer for the boys! I grew up in a household of Giants fans, which I think is what made me a Boys fan in the first place (yay for gradeschool rebellion!).

I read every weekday, but don’t post much in the off season. I have a new daughter, who will start cheering for the Cowboys this season. Here are my beliefs:

I believe Witten is the best TE in football.
I believe Bennett has the propensity to be the next one.
I believe Romo can play this game
I believe he hasn’t for a while, and needs to stop fumbling.
I was complacent about the TO move.
I miss Aikman’s leadership.

I miss Emmitt’s “shut up and be the best” attitude. Will there ever be another Emmitt in any position, on any team? A guy that is simply the best, with finesse, and work-horse like tendencies, but who stays out of the bad media? </ rant>

Most importantly, I believe this is the year. No, really. Here’s why:

1. TO, RW1 gone….fresh starts
2. RW2, miles, sam, isiah and Witten are well above average corps
3. Romo will focus this year
4. We are going to get back to some running, with 3 capable backs
5. Less expectation than last year.
6. Cowboys Nation Needs It!

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Formerly known as Or Moyal, also known slightly more recently as BudLight. Started reading before the ‘07 season and I’ve been hooked since. I don’t always have time to post, but I read virtually everything written here, comments included. My Cowboy fix is unquenchable.

and Cowboys fan since ‘75. This blog has always been exceptional since Grizz first started it 4 years ago and I’ve seen it grow incredibly since that time and the addition of Raf simply makes it a true dynasty of all football blogs.

though been in lurker mode most of the offseason, depressed about the Boys and the Mavs, excited about the Rangers<!> for once in the last decade and hopping to see the Boys turn it around in ’09.

My dad taught me to be a Cowboys fan, and my fanaticism grew to greater depths than he ever could have imagined.

I think it was all in God’s plan. =)

CB here.

I’m originally from Longview TX but then after joining the military have lived in a couple of different locations.

I’m currently in OKC Oklahoma, the breeding ground of the most fanatical fan base in all of sports.

I followed Raf over from BSR and I’m a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan. For a few years now I’ve tried my best to attend at least a couple of games each year.

He didn’t…

And a fan since I can remember. Living in Skins’ Country and, to be honest, I wouldn’t have it any other way. It just makes it THAT much more fun to kick their teeth down their throats on Sunday!

In between vegemite sandwiches am an avid reader of the blog and occassional poster.

I stumbled across a link on KC Joyner’s Football Scientist site and followed it to the The Boys Blog – around the time our defensive backfield imploded in the last few minutes against washington and we started to experience “life after woodson”. Then to Blue and Silver Report and BTB.

Been a fan since ‘83 with a vacation to visit a childhood friend who had moved to Dallas. Watched them implode against the Redskins and Rams in ’83 and suffered through the rest of the ’80’s before salvation in the early ’90’s. Now waiting for salvation again…. – it could be worse, could be an Eagles fan….

Checking out the site a few times daily in between my actual duties at work.
Excited for the coming year as always.
Keep up the great work Grizz and company.
Another run to the playoffs and a new Ace Frehley cd…..should be a great 2009!

Formerly known as mikhu & hophead on TBB and BSR, followed everyone else over here. First time commenting here but I lurk and read numerous times per day.

Native Texan.
On loan to Louisiana for too long.
Been a fan since the inaugural season.
Seen it all.
Beginning to think that Tex is probably right (bout Romo, not Henson).

Not much of a big contributor to the comments, but I love reading the site, and find myself wasting hours on this here website reading all of the comments and I especially love the merger that made Raf come to the site. I check this site almost hourly.
I live in Houston, Texas.

I love the Cowboys, Astros and Sixers.

Other than that I just like boobs and video games.

Hailing from Boredom, USA (also known as Little Rock, Arkansas). Stumbled my way onto BTB during the 2006 season by way of a Google search (can’t remember what the hell I was looking for).

Hoping to see my first Cowboys game in-person this season (I’ll be the dude in the dreads sporting the blue Felix Jones jersey!). Also hoping for a playoff win. We shall see.

…occasional poster. Every day visitor.

Been visiting the site for two years (I think) and I’m very disappointed that the Cowboys aren’t coming back to Oxnard for training camp!

Born the same year as the Cowboys. I went to Thanksgiving games at the Cotton Bowl so have been a fan as long as I can remember.
Currently holding down fandom in Central Texas. Go Cowboys.

I check this blog every time i get online. Keep up the good work!

I’m too cool to introduce myself.

Reminds me of the stories Irvin used to tell about getting Garrett the throw him passes in the late evenings after everyone else had gone home. Makes me think theat there might be hope for this pair to do something special.

Oh, and the Thanksgiving Day game was a big advantage, its like getting an extra bye week in the season. That’s the reward you get when you step up and volunteer to do it when no other team wanted to take the game back in the day. With the NFL implementing Thursday night football, though, that advantage has been taken away.

Kudos to Rafael and Raul for taking the HUGE leap and joining forces with Grizz. Great move, and I’m sure it wasn’t easy letting go of the baby.

You guys really are all continually producing an excellent site.

Been a member here at BTB for around 2 years and was a fan of theboys.com and then BSR for around the same time. This is the most all inclusive, knowledgable site around and I’m not sure I could survive without it.

Like Dave said about mock drafts: this site is like crack, only without losing all my money, family, house, job, and having to live on the street.

From Fairfield, CT
Loyal fan since ’78

provides the best forum for discussion and a little humor. This site is my morning coffee (I do not drink coffee) metaphorically speaking, I have to check this site several times a day because there is something going on most of the time.

Chatham, to be precise.
Loyal fan since the early 80’s..

followed Raf and Raul over here….born and raised here in Houston,Tx……been a fan since Dad said " There is no other NFL team We root for.." only kid wearing Cowboys swag in school during the “Luv ya Blue” days here….

Stuck in Tucson Arizona. I take Texas Stadium everywhere with me as it is tattooed on my wrist.

may not post my opinions much but i cant stop reading this site, been reading since 2006 and sad but i’m always reading this site during school! Great job to Grizz, Raf and all authors (making this comment right now in class)lol

Joined back in 2007 when I found BTB to be the quintessential Dallas Cowboys news source. Living in Connecticut I found it to be a great way to interact with other Cowboys fans without having to put up with the insanity of the ESPN boards or the DMN blog.

Dave gave me the opportunity of a lifetime when I was added as a writer for BTB. It was great to be part of the site over the past year and watch it grow into the juggernaut it has become.

The bear is for Baylor…

My father was not born here, so when he relocated to the states, he had to choose a team. Who else but the team with All-American boys, Capt. Comeback and Bob Lilly. I have enjoyed reading this site daily for the past few years and look forward to all of the fun analysis that Grizz, Raff, and the guys offer. Thank you for your passion and dedication.

also known as david.

Childish user name, but who can complain, its the best TE in the league. The name is Sam, I go to college in Maryland (and apparently went to school with AikmanNailedMySis for a couple of years), and I’m in a sea of Redskins fans (its a tough life I live). I’m feelin big things coming from our ’Boys this year.

Fan from the Jersey Shore since I was 10. Cheered for the team in White in SB10. There was something about Staubach…..

Flown down to about 5 games in Texas Stadium – including the Landry Ring of Honor game against the Giants. Each year I travel with friends to one Cowboy away game (must be in a new city each year).

Great job! Congrats on hittin’ 3mil.

A great accomplishment!

I’m a long time Boys Blog/BSR poster. I was also a lurker on these boards for awhile until the merger. Then I moved here full time.

Been a Cowboy fan since I was old enough to understand football.

Keep up the good work!

Defending Big D is about to hit 40,000. Man I have a loooooong way to go lol.

Followed Raf and Raul everywhere but never posted till I landed here. The merging of the blogs has brought together so many different points of view and opinions that I had to start throwing in my two cents. Great job Grizz, Raf and everyone else.

Born in Fort Worth, raised in Abilene, now living in Virginia Beach where I hang out with a bunch of skins fans.

My avatar is me at FedEx last Nov when the Cowboys beat the skins. They were handing out cheap knock offs of the terrible towel which Snyder called “Rally Rags”.

I guess Derrick Williams improved his stock alot at his pro day.

He ran a 4.37 and apparently when he was running at the combine he had the flu.

Perhaps if Dallas were to take a wideout, he could be had in the fourth.

Job has me swamped, wish I could post more often..

Love the site, i rely on it often for analysis, that the ‘experts’ should have and don’t. You guys all do great work. Thanks!

I’m Ken and I live in the DC suburbs. I also lived in Philly for 15 months. I know what it’s like to be in enemy territory. I love the Cowboys!!

Been a DC fan since 1985…

Great site, great analysis…keep it up fellas!!!

I’m one of those readers that cam over from Raf’s old site and I must say it was good move on both boards site to combine the two. It as if we got an all star cast of insightful and even somewhat controversial bloggers and it has made for one outstanding experience.

but I’m here :P. Love the site you guys. Keeps getting better and better.

I’m new here, but I enjoy and would also love to see 3 or 4 playoff wins.

I’m at least here every day to read. Being a Cowboy fan since the late 60’s, I can say that growing up in the seventies watching the Steeler-Cowboy super bowls has me still fuming. Look at it from my perspective- they beat us twice in Super Bowls, and we only beat them once. I think we still owe them a can-of-you-know-what, as well as the rest of the NFL. That’s what makes this last Super Bowl victory by them that much more harder to swallow as a Cowboys fan. If their victory in the big game won’t make our owner react, nothing will. I think we’re gonna be just fine…..

Started reading the old theboys.com site years ago and I stopped for some reason. A couple years ago, I remembered the site name for some reason and stopped by for a visit. Hooked ever since and stop by a few times a day to take a peek to see what trouble some of you are brewing….keep it up!

talking Dallas Cowboys or football in general is one of my favorite ways of relaxing.

So if the NFL says Dallas does NOT get a competitive advantage, is the NFL trying to keep Dallas on the Thanksgiving day game rather than switch it up?

Also, y’all should google the singer Asa, I’m listening to her now and she’s got a wonderful, beautiful voice

He is going to have to sign for the vet min to land on a team.

I grew up in Northern California, and when I was 9 years old I found myself rooting for the cool blue star in the NFC title game, even though everyone else in the room was rooting for the local team, the 49ers.

When Dwight Clark caught that ball. I cried. Haven’t been able to shake the addiction ever since. Even my user name is a testament to one of the most frustrating players in Cowboys history. And also one of my favorites.

reading this blog this year. Now I’m addicted.

Not an easy thing to do

Die hard Boys fan for as long as I can remember…

Currently hiding out near Salt Lake City scaring children, farm animals, and most major appliances…

Haven’t posted much this offseason…still in recovery I think…

Check the site daily. Cowboys fan since birth…..

lets break in the new stadium with banner #6

That’s Super Person Man, not Super Prison Man, as some have thought.

Cowboys fan from conception.

Name’s George, 21 years old… currently living in Philthadelphia haha more cowboy fans here than you’d think… been a fan since the mid 90’s, read the site every day… was a regular at theboysblog and made my way over here with the transition… great work to everyone who contributes, many thanks!

Born and raised in Corpus Christi Texas, Cowboys Fan as long as I can remember. I attend 1-2 games a year, and love it. I come to this site everyday and refresh and refresh, and when I am not on a desktop, I access it through my blackberry. Which BTW Grizz, will there be a feature to post from a handheld coming anytime soon? I started at Theboysblog, then BSR, and now here, LOVE IT!

Been following Raf, Raul and Company in their adventures, BloggingTheBoys, BlueSilverReport, TheBoysBlog and TheBoys.

Oh, my, we’re talking about 5-6 years?

Following the Cowboys since 1991, just before the Cowboys became dominant again.

Aloha,

CDR AKA Toast from previous life on Raf’s Blog. Sometimes I wonder how it used to be years ago Before Blog (BB). Used to get stale information on the Boys… Thanks to Raf, Grizz and all the pros who contribute to this great blog!!!!

I live in deep south Texas, a border town (Weslaco). True Cowboy country! I started reading The Boys Blog and The BSR a few years ago but never joined. I joined this site in December and it’s been a blast. I enjoy reading, agreeing, and disagreeing with everbody’s opinions. Keep it up!

….and I’m an addict.

(’boy’s fan living up in Chicago now)

Congrats to you all.

It’s an admirable accomplishment and you run a nice operation.

I’m 5Blings and, like everyone on here, I want a 6th Bling. But what I really NEED is to see my team play up to their level of talent with a sense of discipline. Win or lose, if they do that, I’ll be happy.

Reppin So Cal since 07

This blog would be nowhere without Grizz, thanks for keeping that info coming you guys

Great things don’t stay secret for long!

I initially found Rafael’s blog back in the day looking for a way to keep track of a Cowboys game that I couldn’t watch on TV and have been hooked ever since. His (and now Dave and others’) excellent analysis of everything Cowboys has kept me entertained and in the know.

Thanks, guys. I’m not sure how I’d survive being a Cowboys fan in Philly without this type of outlet. (Eagles fans are bad, but the few years I spent with Redskins fans in Virginia was even worse).

Funny related story:

I was wearing a “Got Five?” shirt in Criminal Law class earlier this year, when my teacher asked me what the shirt referred to. (“Got Five?” refers, of course, to Dallas’ 5 superbowl rings)
 
I told him that it would probably be in my best interest not to answer the question, but quickly changed my mind when I realized he might think it was something illegal (being that he’s devoted much of his life to criminal law) and told him that I am a Cowboys fan.

He knew that I wasn’t from Texas and asked me how/why I was a Cowboys fan from South Philadelphia. My father is from Eastern Europe and I was never pressured to be an Eagles fan, so I compared my being a Cowboys fan to being gay, and that I was born a Cowboys fan and hadn’t really made the choice.

The class erupted in laughter and that was that. Just thought I’d share a little bit of the Philly Cowboy fan experience with you all.

Keep up the fantastic work, guys. This blog gets more than a few of us through the week!

There are alot of us BSR guys here.

you are really trying to screw up my bracket….

French girl, living in between Paris and Versailles, I discovered the NFL when i was a student in Lousiana in 92 and immediately got attracted to the Cowboys (with Aikman as our QB, that wasn’t too difficult). I discovered BTB around the end of 2007.
I sometimes post, more often during the season, and check it everyday.
Congratulations to BTB and thanks to all of you for making it so enjoyable.

I check BTB at least a half a dozen times a day for my Cowboy’s fix.

I’m just asking because… are we asking a 30 year old to develop? you’re about as good as you can get at that age at the NT position

http://kan.scout.com/a.z?s=115&p=8&c=1&nid=2475302

here for a few years now, not sure exactly when i started posting here. more of a troll lately, but its just a great place for all cowboys, all the time content.

My name’s Jason.. I read the site alot, don’t post a lot, kind of a lurker.. I use to post back in the day when I had a lot more free time, now I just kind of read the site, I come here first for all my Cowboys news. I’m a Cowboys fan born and raised in Nevada, when I was a little kid Dallas was winning everything so I became a fan haha, and stuck with them even though I can barely remember our last playoff win.

Jimmy here – started with the ‘Boys Blog back in the day and have followed Raf and crew since. That menacing, yet alluring, fine thing to my right is the Delta State University Fighting Okra. Know it. Fear it.
Originally from the metropolis of Rayville, LA, I’ve been a ‘boys fan since day 1 almost 33 years ago. I’m now in Columbus, OH, and prioritize my boys on Sunday Ticket just below the mortgage payment and electricity. (Got to have a place to plug in.)
I don’t post often, but I’m here three or four times a day. Obsessed? No, just dedication.

Congrats everybody; keep up the good work, and Go Cowboys!
