Help me decide! Redskins or Eagles???

[Erin Elizabeth]

Ok I live in Dallas, but hate hate HATE the Cowboys (see my other thread) and on the suggestion of a couple of great DUers in that thread, I'm going to become either a Redskins or Eagles fan BASED ON THIS POLL! I just want to make sure that either team is a team that Cowboys fans HATE. And I think I'm good there.

1. If you are gonna buck the trend in Big D

Root for the Champs Baby!

[Erin Elizabeth]

2. Well they DID win the big one in January, didn't they?

Are they still in the running this year?

[TieDyedDad]

3. 11-2

Best record in the NFC...Besides we are a NEW YORK team, wouldnt that alone piss everyone in Dallas off?

[Erin Elizabeth]

4. Yes. The only thing better would be a French football team.

And I don't think there's a Paris Panthers or anything.

[TieDyedDad]

5. We are the closest thing to Paris

in the US... Ill send ya a Manning Jersey!

6. The Cowboys don't hate anybody as much as the 'Skins.

The rivalry's history goes back to before the Cowboys were even in the league, and a battle over the Redskin's fight song, "Hail to the Redskins".

The movie "The Replacements" was loosely based on the 1987 "Redscabs" replacement team that beat a Cowboy's team that had most of their star players cross the picket line to play. They made it to the playoffs, and won the Superbowl with Doug Williams.

I warn you, though, it isn't easy being a 'Skins fan. Lots of close games.

[TieDyedDad]

7. Yr right

but Snyder is killing you guys...

[nytemare]

8. That's for sure.

We need some line help in the draft, or in free agency. The line is too old.

[TieDyedDad]

9. Long way from the HOGS

even being a Giant fan, I loved those guys...Butz was the reason I played the line.

[nytemare]

23. I have a picture of me with Butz and Moseley when I was 6.

Great D Tackle, and loved his scratched up helmet.

[redqueen]

24. Yep... people still talk about that song.

It's amazing. :rofl:

Oh and you already know this but

[nytemare]

26. ...

[crimsonblue]

10. Be a Chiefs fan

It has ties to Dallas. The Chiefs were originally the Dallas Texans before moving to KC.

[TieDyedDad]

11. Bro

You really want to punish her, dont you?

[crimsonblue]

14. Hey!

They're gonna be good in two years! Sigh.....

[nickgutierrez]

12. Of those two, go with the Skins.

Not only do you get to stick it to the insufferable Cowboys, you also get to go up against the fans in Philly, who booed Santa Claus and are in the process of kicking Donovan McNabb out of town.

[TK421]

19. As well they should....I also think it's time Andy Reid gets the boot

for some of his stupid play calls

So much talent on that team, and they can't seem to get anything right

[NJmaverick]

13. G*I*A*N*T*S!!!! GIANTS! GIANTS!

WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!

[TieDyedDad]

17. High Five..

Go Big Blue..

[NJmaverick]

22. Yeah!

[Shakespeare]

15. Philistine.

[Erin Elizabeth]

16. I need to see pictures of their colors and uniforms.

To decide. Off to Google.

[Giant Robot]

18. Eagles all the way

We have cheesesteaks.

[TK421]

20. Unfortunately, that is all we seem to have this season

our only offensive weapon is Brian Westbrook, but honestly...how many fucking times can you hand the ball off to that guy on 3rd and 11?

Fuck Andy Reid...and Marty however the fuck you spell his last name

[TieDyedDad]

21. You guys can always come to the dark side

ya know. The Meadowlands and the Linc aint far apart..

[TK421]

25. That would not be an option...I am really sorry

Nope...not far apart at all. I think we can agree on the Cowboy rivalry, however

Never thought I would root for the Giants..but only when they play the Cowboys, you see..it's different then; you know what I'm talking about, don't you?

[TieDyedDad]

27. yup

only time I root for the Iggles, is when you play Dallass..

[madinmaryland]

28. I would suggest that rather than fighting the lure of the Cowboys, that you

just learn to love them!!!!
