Deep in the Heart of Texas

I was born in Texas.  Shortly after that, the Dallas Cowboys joined the NFL.  I have no recollection of that being too young to notice, but my folks have always talked about what a huge deal it was in Texas at the time.  We moved to Pittsburgh when I was young.  At that time the Steelers stunk (and stunk badly!).  On many a Sunday back then we gathered around the tube and watched, rooted and cheered for the Dallas Cowboys.

All things change.  The Steelers started to win Super Bowls and my love for Pittsburgh sports teams developed and grew.  But the Cowboys still held a special place in my heart.  For a while now, that heart has been broken.  After the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Redskins, I don't know that it can be repaired.

Thing are bad in Dallas.  From top to bottom the Cowboys are in trouble.  The exception to that rule are the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders (they are the creme de la creme of NFL Cheerleaders!).  How many coaches is Jerry Jones going to go through to find the right one?  Is it the coaches or something (someone) else???  The Cowboys always seem to have talent, but it doesn't get them anywhere.  Tony Romo is a perfect example of this.  Enough is enough already!

It's time to get your cow patties together down there in the Lone Star State.  Get your hat on straight, adjust your spurs, and start to ride this pony right!!!!  Come on Cowboys, let's get these "little doggies" to the corral and start winning some games and maybe a Super Bowl or two like in the good old days!  Your break'n ma heart here in da 'Burgh.  I want to be able to walk into work Monday mornings, head held high, and say to my coworkers...."How 'bout them Cowboys?!"  It doesn't seem like I will be able to do that any time soon.

In time my aching heart will mend.  Through all the sorrow that I'm in......
