hahahahaha Is this one of those "break 'em up cuz they're too good" things kinda like the old Yankees?
The answer is easy for me. The Cowboys are my second (albeit distant second) favorite team - and not just because of living in Texas for about 40+ years now. It goes back to the early days of the AFL - I was still in Wisconsin then. The Cowboys came in as an expansion team, and the phrase "this town ain't big enough for the both of us" was never more true than when the AFL founder, Lamar Hunt, planted his own team right there in Dallas - head on competition for the Cowboys. I hated the AFL, and thus supported the Cowboys in that struggle. The Dallas Texans, of course, eventually lost the war and retreated to Kansas City as the Chiefs. I also learned to respect the Cowboys as a worthy adversary when we beat them home and home for two straight NFL championships - the one in Green Bay being the Ice Bowl.
I also would devote even more support than now to the Badgers in football and basketball, and if the damned Brewers and/or Bucks ever stopped being so frustrating, them too.
