The cowboys

[rickthedrummer]

I'm now 83 years old. 1 ages a dog year watching the Cowboys. I was in my 3rd glass of scotch watching that game. I haven't done that in about 15 years.

I wonder why I keep hearing "19th Nervous Breakdown" every time I watch 1 of their games??????

2 finger ones?

Nobody from Jersey watches the Cowboys.

1st was 2 fingers then it was on to 3 fingers!!!

"Nobody from Jersey watches the Cowboys".

Hey Rick, wanna bet???? There are a lot of Cowboys fans in Jersey. They just don't say so because they don't want to wind up at the bottom of the Hudson.

I've been a fan of the Cowboys for over 50 years. I lived in Dallas in '82, never could get tickets to their games but I've seen them when they played at the Meadowlands more than a few times.

Oh, you’re just watching the cheerleaders.

That show has been on for years. They are the hardest cheerleading squad to make.

[rickthedrummer]

I know that you Jersey guys wouldn't watch the, GOD forbid, Dallas Cheerleaders.

[slanddad]

I'll watch cheerleaders any day. I thought you were talking about football.

[rickthedrummer]

Any combination of both works for me.

[drummer]

Rick, I lived in Dallas too as a kid. I went to the old coliseum in Irving to see them and had binoculars the whole time pointed straight at the cheerleaders. I couldn't give a crap about the game, lol. I was in heaven!

[rickthedrummer]

I lived there with my GF in '82 on Ridgecrest Rd. about a 10 minute drive to North Park Shopping Mall.

Next game = Thursday, 12/29, 7:15PM.

[rickthedrummer]

My scotch is at the ready!!!!!

[slanddad]

One of the cheerleaders from, I think 2019, was from my little home town.

[rickthedrummer]

Emily Compagno is a lawyer, works on FOX and about 20 years ago was the head Cheerleader for the Oakland Raiderettes.

She has the bucks to have just about any car she wants but drives a '72 Mustang Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland motor.

I know that she went to school in California so Oakland was closer but girls from all over the country (including cities with NFL teams with Cheerleading Squads) go to Dallas to try to make the Dallas Cheerleaders.

They are the best!!!!!

[Ricardo]

I'd rather have that Mustang.
I had a '67 2+2, HP289....great car.
But those early '70s Mach cars were the bomb!

Ricky, I had a '70 Boss 302 bought in '71 (guy couldn't make the payments) and it was a great car. 290 HP that would take it to the 15's in the 1/4 mile.

The car in the picture is (was) my 2016 Eco-Boost. 138CI (turbo) with 320HP (around 350 with the Roush tune) pulling a 3600lb car through the 1/4 a full 1 1/2 seconds faster than the Boss 302. Anybody that ever raced at a drag strip knows that 1 1/2 seconds is about 10 to 12 car lengths. The Boss 302 could be had in '70 for about $4500 new. There is 1 up for sale now with a reserve of $45,500

I loved that Boss but the cars of that era would lose to the Eco-Boost.

[Ricardo]

No doubt.....the tech advantages are remarkable.
I still have a thang for the old muscle cars.

Prescott is taking a lot of heat latley. So many teams stick with the same QB year after year after year, like something is magically going to change. When DP was hurt Rush came in and won 4 straight for the team. Why not go with the hot hand while it's hot. In TN tonight no cheerleaders ☹

[rickthedrummer]

George Blanda threw 42 interceptions in a 14 game season. Dak will never come anywhere near that.

Rush did a great job filling in for Dak but he's not a starter.

[slinky]

Some good matchups coming up this weekend but I will mostly be intrested in the 49'ers Cowboys. There's some history right there. The Catch which started the 49er dynasty and so many other great games they played each other in.

Having been born in San Francisco, going to games at Candlestick and living there through the whole dynasty I will be cheering on the 49'ers to send the Boys home.

Just when you make a coaching comment, Dak has a magical night.
That blind bootleg was really well done.

Before Frisco, there were the Redskins and the Steelers.
THE CATCH was actually a play by Franco Harris.
The TD by that SF tight end was actually a busted play.
However, I suspect SF will be the favorite -- they have had a good season.
