No, not Cowboys and Indians. Let's talk a little about these two Arlington neighbors. Hey, I need some music while I type...and you shall have some while you read...
Anyway, let's get it out of the way that 90% of the Dallas Cowboy fans loath Jerry Jones and want him to just be an owner and not a GM, and 100% of all fans that hate the Dallas Cowboys love him because of his meddling. I'll spare you his successes that he brought early on with the team and look at the fact that since the last Super Bowl, the team is .500 overall with a 128-128.
Across a couple of parking lots and a dried up creek bed are the Texas Effing Rangers. A team with a lot of success of late, but still no championship. But hey, they've tasted the World Series a couple of times in the last 3 years. If anything, fans of this team should be more fervent about bringing home the Commissioner's Trophy because they have been close.
Dallas Cowboys

We should be more used to this mediocrity, following two straight years of 8-8 football, but there is always demand for better. I mean, who wants calf-implants for life when you can get a boob job? Horrible analogy. Sentiment is that fans can easily see solutions for making the Dallas Cowboys win another. I mean, who has a better grasp of the wisdom of constructing a franchise than a bellowing guy wearing an over-sized jersey to your aunt's funeral.
Look, I'm no fan of Jerry Jones, but it could be a lot worse. We all remember those "glory-hole" days when the Cowboys were good, and we want to relive them again, but let me show you something that may make you feel better:
Buffalo Bills
Miami Dolphins
Seattle Seahawks
New York Jets
Cincinnati Bengals
Cleveland Browns
Detroit Lions
Philadelphia Eagles
Washington Redskins
Chicago Bears
Minnesota Vikings
Houston Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars
Tennessee Titans
Kansas City Chiefs
Oakland Raiders
San Diego Chargers
Arizona Cardinals
San Francisco 49'ers
Carolina Panthers
Atlanta Falcons
--All of those teams haven't won a Super Bowl since 1996 either, and the same group except for 2 since 1987. That's 69% of the league not taking home a Lombardi, just like the Dallas Cowboys. So listen up, their fans are frustrated too...and for an even longer amount of time. It could be worse.
Texas Rangers
Across a couple of parking lots and a dried up creek bed are the Texas Effing Rangers. A team with a lot of success of late, but still no championship. But hey, they've tasted the World Series a couple of times in the last 3 years. If anything, fans of this team should be more fervent about bringing home the Commissioner's Trophy because they have been close.
The Dallas Cowboys are so many years from glory hole, while the Texas Rangers are just an inch a way from glory hole. Their pants are down, and they are thinking about it, but they are really worried about who's on the other side. I don't have too much to say about the Rangers other than that...and I probably shouldn't, but right now is the time for fans to be frustrated with not winning a championship. Plus, at least their front office is democratic unlike, Jerry's dictatorship. There's realistic hope in Arlington.
