There is now a Jerry Jones curse on the Cowboys since he hired Barry Switzer back in the 90's. First he fires Tom, gets rid of Jimmy then starts doing stupid commercials.

Three screw ups are all you get.

He will need to sell the Boys to ever have another SB.

so there will be plenty of out of town traffic for Super Bowl--Cowboys or not
It is safe to say that there would be more if it were two out of town teams. It's more than about who is gong to be filling seats - hotels, rental cars, restaurants, etc.

Trying to prove your point by bringing up Dale Hanson? Seriously? That is laughable.

Ok Cowboys fans how'd you like tonight's game full of penalties & choke holds against the Redskins? They really flubbed on this one (as usual) at the last few seconds & it COUNTED!

Texans won their first season game 34-24 against the Super Bowl winning Colts & it COUNTED!

Stick that up your arses Dallas.

How did I know you'd be here to say something? So so predictable.

Usually, you should wait until after the other 15 games are played to talk about how much better your team is. Yes, Dallas beat themselves (goodbye Alex Barron), but let's not act like Houston is the better team from one game.

BTW, the Colts lost the last Super Bowl.

No, what is so predictable is their losing team.

The Texans are Texas' team now.

Colts won the Superbowl in 2007 then lost to the Saints last year which I'm very aware of. Thanks for reminding me. At least the Texans can beat a Superbowl winning team. I'm very exited to watch them this season. They seem very fired up & raring to go, especially after slaughtering the Dallas Cowboys.

Losing one game is "predictable"? "Texas' team"? I don't know whether you should go into standup comedy or a rehab facility.

Don't get defensive with me because I pointed out a simple fact. Yes, you beat the stuffing out of a team in a meaningless scrimmage match. Yes, you beat the defending Super Bowl runner-up. Congrats and keep holding onto that. Until then, you're still desperately grasping at straws...there's 16 games in a season and you have to play Indy again.

But hey, if you wanna use such crazy logic to justify why Houston is so much better, be my guest.

The Texans are Texas's team now? Hahahaha! You need help. Even in what is undoubtedly the worst stretch of teams and coaches in Dallas Cowboy history, they are significantly more popular than any other franchise in the NFL. You are not Texas's team. You are barely Houston's team. Not to mention the Cowboys achieved more last year than the Texans have in their entire short history.

But congrats on winning tonight. The Texans actually don't look like a bad team for once. Enjoy these little successful moments, because down the stretch the City of Houston will fail once again to achieve anything meaningful in the NFL.

Matt Schaub makes Tony Romo look like he's playing freshman high school football.

Those Cowboys players can tour the world & date all the Hollywood stars they want, it only makes the City of Dallas look that more pretentious....an image that is worn & tired in the year 2010.

This isn't the 70's & 80's anymore sporting the big hair either.

I always thought that being "America's Team" was the shiznit - hadn't really heard much about "Texas' Team"
