That is crap about the cowgirl's fans naming the Iggles as bigger rivals

I have visited Dallas on business and I always wore my Darrell #28. You know what I found out? They care about the Redskins’ rivalry as much as we do. I never encountered indifference, and I never heard anyone say anything like,“What rivalry?”
When I spoke with those fans, they all told me (and unprompted by me) that they root for two teams—the Cowgirls and whoever is playing the Skins.

A favorite pasttime among D.C. based Dallas fans is trying to make us think it is only us that cares about this rivalry. Couldn’t be farther from the truth. A simple walk down Google will prove it out. A little something called ‘history’.

Skins

If you were wearing a McNabb jersey they’d say the same thing…“I root for the Cowboys and whoever is playing against the Eagles”

If that is true

than they are the worst fans in football.

Dallas, the Girls will be 4th in NFC east and could be at the bottom of the pile for the entire NFL(bottom 10 teams)

Let me start by saying Dallas could make something happen, but my expectations are they will completly implode this year without TO, he did provide them with a solid reciever and a play maker given the opportunity.

Cowboys vs Redskins

If you read the Cowboys’ fans comments on that blog, they state that the Skins/Boys is a bigger tradition….but its time to be realistic…the Redskins aren’t winning anything (up to today). If it was Washington competing in the playoffs and for the NFC championship…we would be leading. In short, the games against the Skins don’t mean as much b/c the Skins never advance anywhere anyway.

I totally agree with dr Wnc…I think the Cowboys get exposed and Wade doesn’t make it to week 12.

WHAT!!??

We have more playoff wins that their sorry franchise in the last decade or more!

Why are you attacking me?

The Cowboys have more Super Bowl so don’t go there. I don’t want to ever defend Cowboys fans so take your argument to their blog…they would know, not me. Seems no one in the league is scared of the Redskins which is going to hurt any rivalry…which is why that stupid poll has 41% Iggles. Argue them not me.

Not attacking you

Just the notion that the rivalry is seemingly “re-imagined” or re-evaluated on a game-by-game or season-by-season basis, based on how good each team happens to be that day. I don’t buy it. Maybe I’m alone. But it doesn’t make sense.

The whole point of a rivalry

Is that records and post-season consequences don’t matter. The history of this rivalry goes beyond anything that is going on “at the moment”. We have taken games from them our record would have suggested we had no business taking, and vice versa. KevinE…when you say it’s time to be realistic, what do you mean? I could care less about playoffs when we play the Cowgirls. Beating them is its own reward.

If Santana Moss catches those two touchdowns against the Lions in the last few minutes of that Monday Night Game, do we care AS MUCH?

No other than it was a win

For a win is a win, but a comeback win against any other team is just that a win…
Against the girls it’s pure joy! Rejoicing and hell yeah!

Historically

it is Redskins/Cowboys.

But a team that is moving up the most hated list fast for me is the New England Patriots.

G-men

for me. I don’t know Eli but I hate him I hate this team more than you know. I feel he is a sub-standard QB and one of the luckiest guy’s in the world. Just take a look at his wife there is no way that dogface boy pulls that if he is not rich. I want so much to see this team implode.
