Life has been so busy lately with family, church, working on my website, that I have barely taken time to notice how terrible the Dallas Cowboys are doing this year. I have yet to watch one game because I know they are losing and I hate to watch them lose. I don't have time to invest in a losing team. That could be why I have not been interested in the Texas Rangers.

While growing up in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, I remember the Dallas Cowboys winning more games than they lost. I remember the excitement. I remember the Cowboys going to the Superbowl in the 70's and 80's. I remember the fun of watching with family and friends, as well as the thrill of having a world-class winning team everyone could be proud of.

It was never that way with the Texas Rangers. Long, boring games that often ended with the dred of an even longer season that would never culminate in anything worth mentioning. We Texas Rangers fans had little to brag about. Sure we eventually had Nolan Ryan pitch in his senior years, and a few other notable mentions, but the World Series was always a competition for other teams, other cities ... not us.

I will live long enough to see the Chicago Cubs win the World Series.
Someone in Boston probably had that same thought about the Red Sox back around 1920 or so.
Didn't make it.

I'm in a similar situation. I am a Giants fan but love Shane Victorino, a local Maui boy from here. The good thing, win or lose, he already has his ring from last year.

Exactly. My sense of well-being does not depend on any sports team, or any entertainment, for that matter.

I live in Pittsburgh. Don’t cry for me. I’m already dead.

From a Central NYer -— anybody but the Yankees! I grew up in Penna. and hated the Yankees from my early days. Go Red Sox. sd

Sorry pal, but every time your Cowboys played my Bradshaw led Steelers you got your butts kicked. Literally, EVERY TIME!!

Well, Mr. America's Team, after having endured twenty years of lost hopes and false starts as a Deadskins fan, and now seeing a glimmer of hope in our new regime (we were thisclose and a bad tipped ball on the last play from beating the Colts even without Haynesworth on Sunday), I can feel for ya. I can't quite reach ya, but I can feel for ya.

P.S.: Tony Romo is gay.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
