Really? Haven't noticed that anywhere I've been. It's either Dallas or Redskins...not both. Unless they just are casual fans of football "oh I like both teams, I wish they could both win".

Re: Anyone Else Notice the Burgundy Bloom?

I was told the history of the Rivalry goes back to before Dallas had a Team and wanted to get into the NFL. This was in the late 1950's and the Redskins Owner Preston Marshal didn't want them in and was going to Vote no.

The Cowboys found that Corrine Griffith the wife of Redskins Owner Preston Marshall had not copyrighted the song that she wrote called.... HAIL TO THE REDSKINS. They quickly did and basicly blackmailed the Redskins into voting to allow them into the NFL which they did to get the rights to the song back.

BASTARD Cowbuckers!

I can't site my source on this. Sorry. Believe it or Not?

peace

Re: Anyone Else Notice the Burgundy Bloom?

Ive had it out w/ a few cowboys fans down here so the rivalry is very much alive on their part, but i do agree Zimmerman they fans for dallas are much more tolerable than Philly fans... thats one thing we do agree on that we both really REALLY hate Philly, but i alwyas have to say... well, when Philly is playing Dallas i root for Philly bc. i hate dallas more, bc. thats the way i was raised. And about half the time people tell me they would rather see us beat philly than philly beat us, of course the other half is the other way around so its kind of a push.
