It's not the 90's anymore. No one is scared of the Cowboys.

They never were. They were saying that back in the 70's too. Texas hype.

That was a brilliant NFL films they did in the 60s that started that, and it stuck.

They don't have to be good to be America's team. But when they win again it will be apparent.

I feel like the Broncos were this past year due to the whole Peyton Manning returning from neck surgery thing.
If not America's team then at least the least disliked team.

I think they make the most of any team in the league.

Media cares about them more

Fans care about them more

so in that sense I guess they are "America's team"

But in reality, they haven't done shite in over a decade and no one should care about them yet media continues to hype them up every season

Everyone has an opinion of them because they're a big market team that are always talked about by media trying to make money, not because people give a rat's arse about Tony Chokemo.

They will be irrelevant on the big stage as long as Jerry Jones is calling the shots. Hopefully, he'll live to be 100.

In the sense that their team is a good analogy for the American state of affairs today, yes

Yes they were. Its fricking DALLAS. They were real big back in the day. Now??? Not so much. They are the most HYPED team in the league every year and fail to produce.
