My bitterness towards the Jerry Jones' Cowboys is no secret. I have made my opinions very publicly known on this blog and on The Sports Daddys Podcast. Which you can listen to here

Today the Dallas Cowboys report to training camp and it's already started. I'm talking about the false set of goods being sold. The same false set of goods which has been sold to us by that want to be NFL GM/Owner for years now. I should be writing about a new season and a new hope, but I'm not. I'm writing about all the b.s. we are about to hear before the Cowboys kick off their 2012 season.
Are we really supposed to believe this is a Super Bowl Contender? The same story we have heard since 1996. The same story with zero results,mind you. The Mavs,Rangers,Longhorns and Stars have all been to their respective Sports Championship since 96. Yet, the Boys have not.
What have the Cowboys done? One playoff win in 16 years. That's all they've got is one freaking playoff win! The word disappointment doesn't even begin to describe what Cowboys fans are feeling. Matter of fact one playoff win in 16 years is enough to drive Jason Kidd or Bob Uker to drinking.
The most recent example of real disappointment was the 2007 Dallas Cowboys season. This marked the first season for Wade Phillips as head coach. Jason Garrett also joined the team this season as offense coordinator. T.O was here with his quarterback man Tony Romo. The stage was set!
The Cowboys finished the regular season tied for the best record in the NFC (13–3), and earned a first round bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. This was a Super Bowl Team! However what did they do? The Cowboys lost their first playoff game to New York Giants (the eventual Super Bowl champion).
The Cowboys had defeated the G-Men in their two regular-season matchups but,couldn't win this one? This loss extended the Cowboys drought of playoff wins to eleven years and tied the NFL record of 6 straight playoff games lost. Do you like setting records Jerry? How do you like that record?
Fast forward 5 years and it's all the same, only some of the names have changed. Jones,Garrett, & Romo are all talking Super Bowl and high expectations. Jerry is trying to put pressure on this team by saying clichés like "The window is closing" & "The time is now".
I am already getting nauseous thinking about it. Jerry wearing his Dallas Cowboys visor,golf shirt and khaki shorts making the rounds on local sports shows at 10:30pm. He'll say stuff like "If this team plays like it should the Dallas Cowboys will be the NFC Champions". Or he may try "The Dallas Cowboys do what they should they could win The Super Bowl". (barf)
The Cowboys did add some nice pieces (especially on D) in the off-season. Here is some credit giving for the effort but I think most of us know how this will turn out. Does the name Roy Williams ring any bells?
Now on the record for those hardcore fans who still don't get it or refuse to accept reality. I want you to really pay attention to the next sentence closely. As long as Jerry is still running the personal decisions the Dallas Cowboys will never be winners or even serious contenders. You should take a second and let that sink in. Now,accept it and move on.
I hear this every week, sometimes twice a day: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Seems fitting when talking about the 2012 Dallas Cowboys season.
