Sure, it was great watching the Bills fist the Patriots for 47 points on 7 straight scoring drives on Wild Card weekend, but no one. and I mean no one loses like the Dallas Cowboys and their fans took it well.
They fought their TVs…

They fought each other AND they fought the players (to be fair they just threw shit at players after the Cowboys lost to Jimmy G and the Niners at home).

A closer look shows sadness.
I’ve been an Oilers fan my whole life and a transplanted Maple Leafs fan for shits-n-giggles.Ā I’ve seen abject failure ANNUALLY for the better part of 35 years.Ā During this time I have:
- Never been moved to tears over the last 3.5 decades following a playoff loss.
- I’ve never Demo’d a TV or thrown a beer at my electronics
- I’ve never fought another fan opposing or otherwise
- Never thrown beer at a player or called them ‘fucking losers’ on their way off the field/ice
- Never been bothered for more than 1-15 minutes by a loss
Thanks to the bullshit of the pandemic, your team’s loss means that much more.Ā I get it.Ā A rooting distraction brings you back and takes you away from the dirge of daily pandemic life, but Texans have been pretending this shit isn’t real.Ā This is a yearly event in Dallas so it’s more the norm than a few isolated incidents after another disappointing Cowboys season.
It’s a right of passage for Cowboys fans. They lose every year, the same way and it in no way gets tiring.
It’s yearly mental circumcision for the fan base and a reminder that the Dallas Cowboys are not ‘God’s team’.Ā They’re a 90-year-old party animal’s team whose 2 billion dollar stadium is morphing into the world’s most expensive loser dome.
See you next year?
