There are other teams, Dallas sports fans

As a transplanted Texan, one of the things that has bothered me since our move here in ‘98 has been how Cowboys-focused Dallas sports fans are. This year has been no exception; with “America’s Team” winning only 5 games, it has been wisely speculated for the past month if Dave Campo would remain the Cowboys head coach.

This is how sad this town is when it comes to their NFL team: one news station interrupted a tornado warning to announce Campo’s firing earlier this week. A tornado warning! Now we know that Bill Parcels is the new head coach, blah, blah, blah.

Hello, Dallas? The Mavericks are kicking the tail out of every other team in the NBA, sitting alone atop the league. The Stars are trading the #1 spot in the NHL with Detroit and Ottawa on a nightly basis. You have championship-contending teams! They just don’t play in Texas Stadium.

Maybe now that the Cowboys’ season is over, you’ll pull your collective head out of Jerry Jones’ butt and realize that. Go Stars!

Go Stars! Right back to Minnesota where you RIGHTFULLY BELONG! Yeah! You can take up residence in Minneapolis and the Wild can stay in St. Paul...and the state that produces half the U.S. Olympic hockey players (men and women) can have the two pro NHL teams it deserves! YEAH!

*grin*

Nah, I think we'll keep the Stars. :)

But man, how 'bout the Wild? They are kicking some tail this year. Second in their division, 4th in the conference right now. . .

And they love playing spoiler to the "other" MN NHL team, don't they? :)
