Alright. I admit it. I'm a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan. Probably one of the only ones on Dkos. Or maybe not.
First of all, congrats to the Steelers, yall deserved it. Your owner Dan Rooney seems like a really classy guy and Ive always liked Bill Cowher (no respect for "The Bus"-- wikipedia says he's a Republican!).With that said, however, there's no team outside of our three division rivals (giants, redskins, eagles) that I hate more than the Steelers (maybe the 49ers.) And why? Well, its a stupid reason but I just can't stand a team that's more popular than my beloved Cowboys. From what I can see at least, the Steelers are probably the most popular team in the country. In terms of sheer numbers, they are "Americans Team.") For me, a Cowboys fan to even put "America's Team" in the same sentence as the Steelers is reprehensible blasphemy. But its the truth. The Steelers have now tied us and San Fran for Super Bowl victores (5). Another stat I cant stand. Now for some thoughts on the game...
My three pasions in life are football, politics and basketball, in that order. College Football went great this year. My University of Tulsa Hurricanes were one of the most suprising teams of the year and went on to become Conference USA champs and then cruised to victory in the Liberty Bowl against Fresno State. I dont mind the Texas Longhorns either and we all know how well they did...
The NFL season was sooooo frustrating. Afterall, we only lost one game by more than ten points, I think. And with Dallas out, all my top teams lost early in the playoffs. Honestly, Im not big on either Seattle or Pitt but I held my nose and went for Seattle tonight. I never realized how much hate I had for the Steelers. Even going into this game, the entire east coast sports media wouldnt shut up about how great the Steelers were. And they won, but it was nothing pretty. I know Hines Ward got the MVP award, but honestly, I don't know if anyone deserves it, Steeler or Seahawk. It was just such a sloppy game that was ultimately determined by a few close calls that went Pittsburghs way. Anyways, I should be studdying for a big science test tomorrow that I desperately need to do well on so I will end my incoherrent whiney rant here.
PS Any Cowboys fans out there that feel my pain?
