I wish to change the subject matter, please. I knew I never should have participated in a Dallas Cowboy forum. I am so over them!! :angry:


Cowboys got their revenge. No one wants to remember the throw from Aikman to Alvin Harper for about 90 yards. How about the onside kick to start the second half? Its just the haters who remember the catch. Dallas has lots of memorable plays. 49 ers owned the 80s. Cowboys owned the 70s and 90s.

Man, I remember that throw from Troy to Harp like it was yesterday.  The story behind that play is pretty interesting.  The COWBOYS had run that same play a few times throughout the game.  The play was designed to throw the slant to Michael Irvin, but Aikman's pre-snap read told him the slant would not be there.  The throw kept going to Harper on the other side.  Well, late in the game the same play is called.  Due to Troy's pre-snap read on this play, Irvin wanted the game in his hands, so he told Harper that he was switching positions.  Irvin actually lines up in Harper's position and Harper in Irvin's.   Troy looks at the defense and see's that the slant to Irvin is going to be there, however, he notices that Irvin is not lined up where he normally is.  It's actually Harper.  Troy said he just hoped Alvin would run the route the correct way and ran the play.  Harp runs the slant, makes the catch and the COWBOYS are headed to the Super Bowl.  Gives me chills!!!

Owned the 70's? If compared to 9'ers, yes. Steelers 4-0 in superbowls with 2 against Dallas. Dallas was 2-3. Numbers tell me steelers owned the 70's. But I can't math, so maybe I'm wrong.

Yeah, like I don't remember the Steelers. Duh. The Cowboys owned the 70s like I said. From 1970 through 1979, the Cowboys won 105 regular season games, more than any other NFL franchise during that span.[7] In addition, they won two Super Bowls, at the end of the 1971 and 1977 regular seasons.

How's that for the math genius?

Well spoken with the duh. So for more math , you pick 6 more regular season wins v 2 more SUPERBOWL wins? And those TWO wins are against the cowboys. That makes a team better? Cowboy fans have changed their watermark of dominance. I would love to see a reference with data, besides your coo coo talk, that the cowboys owned the 70's over the Steelers. I'm not a fan of either, but your response shows why some people do not like the 2nd best team of the 70's.

I can't tell you how many times my heart was broken watching the Cowboys play. As a little boy, I still remember the Ice Bowl in Green Bay. Still hurts till this day to think about it. Traumatized at such a young age.


I don't think you can characterize yourself as a "little boy" when you were 19 at the time... 😉

      Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine

      West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin leaves Democratic Party, registers as independent

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind?

      MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
