I'm way excited. Its cool to meet another Cowboys fan on these boards. Tough schedule this year. In Green Bay week three. Go Cowboys!!!!!!!!
I'll be attending the Sunday night Steelers-Jags game in Jacksonville as well as the Thursday night NFL Network game in Pittsburgh against the Bungles.....in addition to any home playoff games of course. I'll bankrupt the family unit if necessary to do it.
Based on opponent win% from last year the Steelers have the toughest schedule in the league. Going to be a tough run.
By last year's statistics, the Patriots have the easiest schedule BUT the have two back-to-back west coast games. That means the either fly back to NE twice or stay on the west coast and practice out there for two weeks on two separate occasions.
But I don't think last years stats have too much to do with this year's games!
Im really looking forward to watching the cowboys vs pittsburgh in pitt. I am going to try to get to that game if i can. I wonder how the steeler nation will treat a cowboy fan at their stadium if the boys win?
I wish I could tell you that Steeler fans are a cordial bunch with regard to opposing fans at the game, but often times it's not the case. Although I think you're better off since the Cowboys aren't a divisional or conference rival. That said, the Cowboys and Steelers go way back and you guys have Terrell Owens. The Steeler fans will be very vocal once TO takes the field. If you can i'd still go, it will be a playoff type atmosphere and there WILL be other Cowboy fans in the house. After all, it's only verbal abuse.

So wearing a PATS jersey to a Steeler game is a bad idea?
Im not to worried about it. Im going to try and get there. I went to a Dallas vs Eagles game a couple years ago and it was in Philly on monday night football. By the time i left i probably had about a 6 pack of beer thrown at me and a bunch of popcorn. Philly fans are something else. Ive always wanted to see the steelers play in pittsburgh and since its against the cowboys that just gives me more reason to go.
Philly fans are definitely worse. I just wouldn't get too vocal if you go.......especially if the Cowboys pull ahead. As long as you're respectful you should enjoy yourself. Pittsburgh is a really cool town and Hienz field is a neat venue with a rich atmosphere. While it's a new venue, the feeling of being surrounded by a rich history remains fully intact. Personally I don't condone overly combative behavior toward opposing fans (unless they deserve it) but the hardcore local fans seem to have a "turf-style" mentality and they feel they must protect it......especially once they get a few cases of IC Light in them.
Not the draft news but the cowboys got pacman..hopefully he can play this year and stay out of trouble. If he does play the boys have two very good shutdown corners and third corner who is very solid.
I think the IQ level in the Dallas locker room just dropped 50 points. Good luck with that one. We don't have all saints wearing Black & Gold, but I wouldn't want that guy anywhere near my team regardless of how good he is.
Hes not the worste person to ever be given a 2nd chance by the nfl. The ravens didnt have a problem with keeping ray lewis and hes stayed out of trouble since then. And his crime was a hell of a lot bigger than pacmans. Ill take him for the yr and if he stays out of trouble(which i think he will) then good move for us and bad for the rest of the league
I guess we'll see how good he still is after a year off. As far as him staying out of trouble, personally, I doubt it. He's got a much more consistent history of problems than Ray Ray. And we know he's still working the strip club circuit, so we know he still hasn't learned any lessons. Like I said, good luck on that one.
On a side note, I jumped into Hardcore Team deathmatch last night. It was fun. Look me up next time you're on Live. Until GTA4 comes out next Tuesday i'll probably be pretty consistently on COD4.

Saying Philly fans are something else is like saying that the war in Iraq is a little scuffle. The Phillies fans aren't too bad but there is no way in *ell I would ever give that Eagle orginization any of my money. The fans are drunken idiots and when the Cowboys come to town crime goes up in Philly. Why? because all the police are at the game trying to keep a riot from breaking out. And the Eagle fans are proud of that attitude. Maybe that is why the city sucks so much. I've been a Cowboys fan since I was five, this will be my 38th season watching them and I still realize it is just a game. Eagle fans are just myopic whiners. The difference between a Cowboys fan and an Eagles fan? The Cowboys fan want to go to the superbowl every year, the Eagle fan wants to beat the Cowboys. The only team in the NFC East to not win a Superbowl, they make the rest of us look bad. I thought Raider fan was bad.
I have to say i am pretty happy so far with the cowboys draft. First get a speedster in felix jones then grab a young cb that can play and is fast. Hopefully the rumors of the cowboys trading for roy williams of lions becomes reality....also i hear they might be trading horse collar williams out of dallas...
Just wondering if anyone here thinks that sometimes its a bad idea for college football players to come back for their senior season when their already considered 1st round pick. Just looking at Colt Brennan, last year everyone was saying he was the 2nd best qb coming out, even a head of brady quinn. Now this year he fell all the way to the 6th round! thats a differents between millions of dollars.
That's a tough decision. On the one hand I'm a firm believer in players getting all the college experience they can and taking advantage of an opportunity to get a free college degree while you're at it, but on the other hand it's obvious many of these guys couldn't care less about having a degree and are only using college to get to the NFL. It's their lives so I don't really care, although I find it humorous when a player bolts for the NFL and then comes up bust and is flat broke 5 years later with no degree to fall back on.
On a side note, i'm very happy with the Steelers draft. Getting Mendenhall will be big for us. Tomlin has already stated Parker will be getting less carries this year and Parker is cool with it. Mendenhall will be a nice much needed #2 punch. All the top OT's were off the board by the time the Steelers drafted so we didn't get the top OL I was hoping for but i'm very happy with Mendenhall. We addressed needs in the trenches on both sides of the ball in the later rounds and got a good QB to groom as a backup to Big Ben. Oh yeah, and we got that big reciever Ben wanted with out 2nd pick. Nice.
Got tickets to the Steelers-Jags Sunday Night game in JAX on the 40 yeard line. Can't freakin' wait! Time for revenge.
I was impressed with the steelers draft too. I think mendanhall and parker are going to do crazy things together next year. when sweed is healthy he is good.
I think the best draft classes where KC, and washington. I cant wait for the start of next season.
