I moved to the Dallas area in 1975 and the Cowboys were tops back then and for many years after. I became a huge fan. Then the series of disappointments started. No team in history that I have followed has disappointed me more and caused me such frustration, regardless of the sport (except maybe the Sabres).
I did not like how Jerry Jones ran the team and the team itself lost its aura and inspiration. Despite some good years, it has never fully recovered and is no longer able to be called "America's Team". Although I still follow them as to whether they win or loose and of course I always hope they do well, I do not sit glued to the tv every time they play to cheer them on.
I am only a fair weather fan. When they win and go to the Super Bowl I am with them 100% but when they loose I keep my distance. I guess I have not been a "true fan" of the Cowboys for many years.
I've been a Vikings fan first my whole life...so believe me when I tell you there are teams that have been more disappointing over the years. I am a Cowboys fan second. They need to be more of a "team" not just a bunch of guys most there for themselves...they all need to buy into the team and it's goals. All of this of course ismy opinion. The other thing is Romo got worse after he got the big contract...almost like the money has put too much pressure on him. His numbers are good but he really isn't performing nearly as well as he did in the beginning when he was out there for the love of the game and he was having fun playing...
