I don't remember getting any flack??! But it is good to see that everyone has come around on Ade - he's prepped for a monster year!

You mean Cookie Monster, don't you? Because I see him wearing Blue Camp Scrubs just before he is cut! I also see a FA taking his place.

NFL - Cowboys-49ers. Hate to say it, but they've played for the NFC championship more times than anyone else I can think of. And the 49ers have won a couple. TO celebrating on the star at midfield twice, I mean who else would do such a thing? To top it off, the next time he was in Dallas he celebrated on the star again, this time on the helmet in the end zone.

I just don't think it can be Skins-Boys any more because do we hate the Cowboys any more than say the Chiefs hate the Raiders, or Bears hate the Packers? I hope it returns to glory, but Cowboy fans have taken the Skins for granted for far too long, rivalries should contain some healthy respect and 11 out of 12 or however many wins it is breeds too much disrespect.

Yes I do hate the Cowboys more than any of the teams you listed. Much more infact. My hatred for the Eagles has grown in recent eyars, but the fact that Dallas kept beating us only fueled my hatred more, as oppsed to me just giving up on the rivalry.

I know it fuels our hatred of the Cowboys, but I hang around a lot of Cowboy fans and it really has become one-sided, I think they kind of humor us now. I think it will come back quickly, but last year's home game let me know that just about no one on the Skins saw the Cowboys as our biggest rival. There's no way you come out that flat in a rivalry game, especially when you have a chance to potentially knock them out of the playoffs.

THis year the rivalry is back, I want to see some spirit out of our guys. I mean since LaVar "retired" Aikman with that wicked hit in Texas Stadium it's been kind of quiet for our side.
