2. With the best radio network in Mexico and a Mexican-American quarterback
we pretty much are already Mexico's team. The outside Texas American audience can drop in half for the Cowboys and they are going to be fine.

4. If Texas secedes Austin will become the "Berlin of the USA"
The Capitol Building and the suburbs will be in the soverign country of Texas, but the inner city will remain a part of the liberal USA. Well, in spirit anyway.

5. I liked what Jim Brown said about the Cowboys years ago. . .
on one of the late night talk shows.

"The Cowboys? That's not America's team," Brown declared.

"They're not?" said the host. "They say they are."

"Yeah, well, anyone can say anything about themselves, but it's who you are that proves what you are. And the Cowboys aren't America's team."

"If they're not, who is?"

"The Raiders."

"The Raiders?"

"Yeah. They're a bunch of misfits that no one else wants who'll do anything to win. That's America."

31. If by America you mean
"The Lone Star State of Texas" than yes, they are America's team (in that parallel universe you live in)

7. Thank you. This has gotten way out of hand
I have already alerted this and other threads which are focusing on bashing Texas and Texans. The bigotry on DU has gotten out of control.

33. People from Oregon can't elect the governor of Texas
Though being from California i still contend Arnold was a evil plot by Hollywood and our general population had nothing to do with it :shrug:

13. Not to worry, cboy. Rick Perry will be hung for treason, and all will be well
in the Lone Star State.

While they're at it, hang the motherfucker named Tom Delay, after covering him with fire ants.

18. And Besides, They Named Themselves That
If a team names themselves "America's Team" that means they're not.

25. No, they didn't. NFL Films came up with the name
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America%27s_Team

The Braves were the team that used it for themselves.
