Redskins Bye Week

[44ever]

I was going to post this in the Cooley thread but I see that got blown up. Oh well the rivalry continues...

Thom Loverro: Redskins-Cowboys rivalry never takes a break | Thom Loverro | NFL | Washington Examiner

"I will never make an apology to any offended Dallas fans, and I expect every Redskin fan to cheer at the folly of a Cowboy," he wrote on his blog, "The Cooley Zone," calling his comments "rivalry igniting." - Cooley

The rivalry has been so dormant between the two teams -- not the fans -- for so long that people aren't used to anyone in either uniform caring enough to ignite it.

There was a time when such comments were standard operating procedure between the Redskins and Cowboys -- and sometimes those comments would result in bizarre on-field incidents.

The difference is those incidents would not go viral.
