Ironically, there's more upset Cowboys fans that have never even been to Texas than there are Cowboys fans in the Dallas area. While they certainly have a home-field advantage (though the Lions should have won there, regardless of what some folks say), their games against any well-followed team are split 50/50 at best . Yesterday was at least 50/50 Packers crowd, and so are their games against Phila, Buf, Pit, and other teams with similarly-rabid fanbases. They're one notch above LA, LV, and the Florida teams.

I find that this discussion typically treads along social/political lines for some reason. Regardless, I live in a very dense urban area where for a minute, for walkups, the city was actually giving you a parking spot with charging station right outside of your house if you bought an EV, but then people complained and the city realized that it doesn't work for multi-unit walkups and ripped it all down (it also didn't work if your house was on the opposite side of your charging port. People drape their cords through trees to get them to the right side, but even that only works if you're parked near your house (I'm typically parked on the other side of a park that's 1/4 miles away.) IMO that's the biggest thing holding us back, not the mindset of folks that won't give up their guns, bibles, and gas-guzzling pickups. There's simply no solution for older cities, save for maybe having removable batteries that can be charged separately and swapped out (or stored in the trunk and easily swapped.) Like... it's not a small problem. I think it's completely impossible to ever solve for (though maybe it'd encourage more people in these areas to give up their cars, which is certainly happening, and if mine gets hit one more time while parked, will probably include me since I no longer have to rely on unreliable hour+ train rides (and driving when they're down) to get to work.)

As the archetype of a mediocre (at best) poster, I'm offended by the very notion that he may some day reach this level. I'd say that he's striving for terrible, because where we're at right now is not even measurable on the current scale. If it was, he'd have the same ratings as the Cowboys, since their logo is actually a rating - a 1-star rating:

According to @TruColor, the classic Lions blue is actually darker and closer to a royal. I assume this is just Bubbles' color (he doesn't have uniform colors for the pre-2002 set). I own a replica Sanders jersey, and it's certainly a lighter blue. Current on the left, Sanders-era on the right.

Are either of those true though? They got beat at home in all but score by Detroit, and would likely have been hosting them again next week. The Lions invalidated both of those statements. It's certainly possible they'd've made the NFCCG, but by no means was it as close of a foregone conclusion as you're making it sound.

Fair enough. I suppose solid gray would be fine. The gray top / white bottom that they tried before was awful.

This game is wild - you blink and you miss a score. Great day of football.

Gray socks have never looked good.

Maybe, but it'd look much better with the Lions in gray pants. I'm not anti-monochrome, but theirs is awful. The gray numbers on blue make it even worse.

Let me amend my statement to "I don't think many people watch Peacock outside of live sports or WWE." Didn't realize the EPL, but yeah, that'd certainly draw subscribers. I thought those were on ESPN+ or one of those other services.

Is that true though? I'm not sure if you were around in that era or not, but I'd say it was all heel heat. Granted, there were no message boards with which to gauge other people's opinions, but with me, there was never any "go away" heat. Maybe at the end with R&B it had run its course.

Is Detroit's blue really this drastically different from the Sanders-era shade? Or is it just the material? I never realized how deep their current shade is.

Apparently he made it clear to them that he'd never play for them. Apparently he's scared of Tortarella. There was also something about Kevin Hayes getting in his ear and convincing him that the Flyers were a wasteland and he needs to leave to be a star (which would be so crazy to say even 10 years ago). I don't follow hockey much, but it sounds like he was a top prospect and people are really pissed that he was traded, and not happy with the return.

As a fan of another lousy team, I hope that's what happens. I can't imagine that going well, and he'd clash with Jones and possibly get fired mid-season for it. That hire would set the team back - not propel them forward. Feel free to bookmark this post for when I have to eat these words.

"What are three shows that have never been on my TV?" It may have some original programming, but I've never heard anyone talk about an Peacock shows in the same way they do Prime, Hulu, Disney, Max, and even Paramount (which at least has the Star Trek franchise, even if they've been eroding it.) If you guys watch it then cool - I suppose that proves it has a purpose and an audience, but outside of WWE, it does nothing for me. It doesn't shock me that they're starting to push more and more live sports to it. That's probably the end game (though someone mentioned that the NFL TV deal runs for another 10 years... so not sure how they can work more games onto it.)

Seriously. The higher team wins and he's pissed because it's "predictable". The lower seed wins and he's mad that they have a good QB. I don't know if there's ever been a member here who is just always mad about everything. It's nauseating.

I don't think anyone watches Peacock outside of WWE.

Garbage time stats are going to detract from the reality of this game. Dallas player stats are going to look good, score isn't a total blowout, but that doesn't even begin to tell what is a beautiful, beautiful, sweet story.

This game makes the Ass Birds upcoming first-round exit sting a little less.

I can't imagine either would want to work for Jerry Jones. Not sure why anyone would.

I've seen the script. Ravens win the SB, John Harbaugh decides to retire with 2 rings, and is succeeded by his brother. You heard it here first

At least I've been conditioned to expect the worst for 6-7 weeks. To have it happen at the snap of a finger must be rough - especially since this was the one year that I think their fans could have had legitimate expectations. I wish these networks could put mics in Jerry Jones' booth. Buttttt..... I still won't be comfortable until the clock says 0.00. Too many weird things can happen, and the refs might ref this up.

Are you "yawn"ing through this?
