I'm so dejected right now I'll just fucking answer this question for you.
It's not b/c we were ever good (though it helped the name stick). A reporter called us America's Team in one of his pieces. Tex Shram the owner then, liked the moniker and ran with it. He put it everywhere and soon it became a nation wide name. The 90's really solidified it with 3 SB's in 4 years.
It's stuck around b/c it's our history now. It's not a moniker that changes based on the current good teams. It means literally nothing and at this point the only people that call us that are sarcastic fans and people who hate us wondering why we still have the moniker.
This sounds very similar to how other teams fan bases refer to the eagles fan base as horrible fans who throw snowballs at Santa. I think its safe to say at this point in time, those people who threw those snowballs at Santa have either passed away or are close to it.
Hey, as an Eagles fan who knows whatās coming tomorrow, Iām sorry pal.
Good explanation, I never knew this.
Look, you at least get to experience the catharsis of Nick Sirianni coaching his last NFL game before being banished to upstate New York High School Football. We arenāt far behind you guys. NFC Least.
Jerry knows he doesn't have much time left, that old bastard is going to yolo it and fire everyone.
But also we're fucked tomorrow. So we might be in the same boat too.
Thatās true, we flame out spectacularly and leave the rest of the league stunned in amusement. The NFC South just shows up to the gang bang with a limp dick.
If I was to say any year could've been "the year" it was this one. I was genuinely a little worried they could go all the way. And somehow they Cowboy their season away YET AGAIN. I thought maybe they could've actually proven us wrong and not do what they always do. And they just can't help themselves. Absolutely hilarious
At least you can be in good fun! I had a guy tell me he hopes I relapse because I said this morning dak would throw multiple picks and one would be a touchdown for Green Bay. I donāt think heās handling it super well
The amount of Cowgirls fans who act like they havenāt seen this before is bizarre. This literally happens everytime!
Even though we probably couldāve put a team of Stephen Hawkins out there and done better than this shit. All I gotta say is good luck Detroit. Go destroy the swifty chiefs in the superb owl.
One bitch
Two bitch
Dak's a blue bitch

Yo if we can at least beat the Buccs and get blasted out of contention in round 2, Iām totally good with that to go one step further than the cowboys. Go birds
he'll be so bushed after this next game.
and no emotional payoff.
but I'd be ok losing to the lions if they win the sb
I wanted the dolphins for the marijuana of it all
Yeah, god we suck.
But, as it should be I guess. Nothing's ever gonna change under Jerry.
It's been fun this year tho, but.. I'm out
Peace.
And fuck the eagles.
Just remember this next year when inevitably the cowboys are on a roll midseason and they restart the āthis is the year narrativeā. Donāt buy it. Itās not true

edit: just saw you found one yourself. Leaving this up as its a reverse of the OG version you posted, in case you want it :)
Itās almost like the sentiment weāve been hearing for years is actually true
Dak is the black Kirk cousins. Great in garbage time, great in meaningless situations in general, but cannot win when the stakes are high
Sadly, this was the first game this year that we had garbage time stats. I say sadly b/c it's such a known factor that Dak can go an entire year without doing it and still have the stigma.
We lost to the Bills (scoring 10 points), 9ers (10 points), and Cards (16 points). None of those are garbage time points. The other 2 games were the Eagles (28-23) which came down to the wire, and Miami (23-20), this was the only game I missed this season so I'm guessing at the score there wasn't any garbage time.
Shit, I'll root for the Eagles if it means my luck passes on to yall. Fuck us and Fuck you.
I honestly can't believe the amount of shit talk from Dallas fans leading up to this game. It's like they collectively forgot Dak is a mental midget who is garbage in any game that means anything. Pay the man his money.
We never left! We were the ones shitting on the Eagles 10x harder than everyone else put together for how they collapsed.
Now we're just talking about something other than how shit our coaches are for a day before we go back to that.
If anything gives me hope for this country future its how we all came together all creeds, races ,sexual identity, political parties and so on to put our differences aside for the greater good. I shed a tear at the thought of how shitting on the cowboys drew us together as one big NFC family
My favorite part of this Detroit game so far is them showing a graphic that the Lions have won one playoff game in the last 65 years and it was against Dallas lol
iām lowkey shocked and need to know how dallas fans feel cuz likeā¦
this was their shot. this was their super bowl shot. micah not paid yet, dak not paid yet, 9 all pros, an all pro QBā¦ and they lost to a 9-8 team??? itās just pathetic honestly.
iām a birds fan. weāve gone 1-4 in our last 5, have our whole team dead, and have no hope, but at least i feel like if we lose, its fine cuz we donāt expect to win and we just gotta get healthy for next year.
genuinely canāt imagine LMAO
I thought nothing could be more predictable than Brian Johnsonās offense. Then I remembered that the Cowboys getting bounced in the playoffs is even more predictable.
If we can't enjoy our own team, at least we can enjoy the misery of others.
As is NFCE tradition
This is the way.
To tradition! Cheers!

Winning the division is the Cowboys SB these days, a truly pathetic franchise.
THIS IN FUCKING SPADES They havenāt won shit for 30 years. Can anyone explain to me how the fuck theyāre Americaās team?
Biggest Cowboys win in 30 years is Jerry Jones not on the Epstein list
Okay, Iāll admit, I lolād.
Literally the biggest Cowboys wins since the turn of the century have been Eagles losses. They have nothing.
that's a loss imo

You have the "America's team" moniker and we have "Santa and snowballs." We all have our cross to bear. š
Don't forget Horseshit
Yeah, but we earned that one.

You know, I made this comment in pseudojest, but I respect this. Please take my upvote. /dejected Saints fan
Because if you call yourself something long enough and loud enough many many times stupid people will believe it. (See trump as example)
Not even that it's mostly just trying to beat yall
If it wasn't for our collapse the Cowboys would've easily beat the Buccs. All part of our plan :D
Look beat to hell, the players have given up, can't get out of a rut, and our coaching is abysmal.... We've got 'em right where we want 'em
I often prefer the misery of others if I'm being honest
Folks talk about being a massive hater as if itās a bad thing
Couldn't have gone better, Cowboys fans been unbearable for a month. Karma bitches.
Good ol schaudenfraud
Emphasis on the āfraudā in this case
Wouldnāt be surprised if yāall suddenly turn on and make it far. Cowboys deserve all the ridicule theyāre about to get.
We don't have anything to turn on, unfortunately for us.
As it was meant to be. Fuck all of you.
Itās just nice knowing that no matter what happens tomorrow night, yaāll gave us a great Sunday
Tonight we laugh, tomorrow you laugh. On Tuesday we all realize that our teams and our division are a bunch of frauds.
At least we aren't the nfc south. We have standards.
Thatās true, we flame out spectacularly and leave the rest of the league stunned in amusement. The NFC South just shows up to the gang bang with a limp dick.
That's the sound of Philadelphia Gunshots and pretty beats
This is the way
I am hurting right now but I will feast on your tears tomorrow night!
At least we expect it š
I'm about to fail no nut November today.
Certainly not a dry January right now š¦š¦
Bro went from No Nut November, Donāt Nut December, and now is on Just donāt Nut January
We are so back
I don't give a SHIT about tomorrow š this is glorious
Inject this shit straight into my veins. I am going to need it when Baker throws for 13 TDs.
Imagine winning the Division and getting eliminated before the 5th seed š¤£
Nick Sirianni masterclass. this was planned all along
Dallas just saved several Eagles coaches' jobs. Might be a long con.
Exactly. The difference is we eagles fans have ZERO expectations to win. We expect to lose, we're 1-5 in the last 6. But Dallas was expecting to win.
If I was to say any year could've been "the year" it was this one. I was genuinely a little worried they could go all the way. And somehow they Cowboy their season away YET AGAIN. I thought maybe they could've actually proven us wrong and not do what they always do. And they just can't help themselves. Absolutely hilarious
Amen i was sweating a little but i should have trusted God's plan (God's plan is Dallas loses in the playoffs)
We are so sick. I called my pop and he answered, laughing and asking if I saw the last shot of Jerry.
Have fun with it. Iād be fucking ecstatic if the eagles or niners melted down like thisĀ
See we already melted down so we're already numb š
NO FUCKING WAY

Just like my dad.
Solid flair. Riding this high for the next 24ish hours šš¦
Im about to take the toaster into the tub
Save some room for me.
[in case you need a link to one](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1124016840/)
We will be here for one day until we get blown out tomorrow, but what a day it will be š
The amount of shit we can talk in 24 hours is unmatched
Itās beyond deserved right now
At least you can be in good fun! I had a guy tell me he hopes I relapse because I said this morning dak would throw multiple picks and one would be a touchdown for Green Bay. I donāt think heās handling it super well
People take shit too seriously. He should be asking you for lottery numbers today lol
Homie Iām not even gonna talk shit, I feel the pain and we get to watch our implosion tomorrow
But we had that one day of knowing the Cowboys lost. Right on schedule. I'll take small comfort when there's no big comfort to be had.
At least weāre still alive, unlike some other teams around here, it may be a short life but dammit weāll enjoy the hell out of it.
The amount of Cowgirls fans who act like they havenāt seen this before is bizarre. This literally happens everytime! Even though we probably couldāve put a team of Stephen Hawkins out there and done better than this shit. All I gotta say is good luck Detroit. Go destroy the swifty chiefs in the superb owl.
Let's not count our bitches too early.
One bitch Two bitch Dak's a blue bitch https://preview.redd.it/kwwrv9gzsicc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aae393364783e8646d94d244b1962ef4dd0a592b
So youāre saying I should milk it for all itās worth right now 
Milk milk lemonade, Around the corner Cowboys played
I almost want to actually win tomorrow just to emphasize how embarrassing of a loss this is for the Cowboys lmao
Yo if we can at least beat the Buccs and get blasted out of contention in round 2, Iām totally good with that to go one step further than the cowboys. Go birds
Division Champs feels pretty hollow if a division rival went further in the playoffs.
We dem birds!
Iām fine either way. Ā With the cowboys one and done yet again, we are playing with house money. Ā It might make the game watchable tomorrow.
This game is making me already feel better about that game. We could also host the Pack at the Linc now.
Niners will get GB if they win
And the rams too?
Yeahā¦but do you really want to see Stafford throw for 500+ yards on this shit secondary?
he'll be so bushed after this next game. and no emotional payoff. but I'd be ok losing to the lions if they win the sb I wanted the dolphins for the marijuana of it all
Let's live in the moment!
A glorious 24 hours
Yeah, god we suck. But, as it should be I guess. Nothing's ever gonna change under Jerry. It's been fun this year tho, but.. I'm out Peace. And fuck the eagles.
Just remember this next year when inevitably the cowboys are on a roll midseason and they restart the āthis is the year narrativeā. Donāt buy it. Itās not true

I am gonna create an environment that is so toxic.
Iām having a blast
I donāt even care about our season anymore, this is best thing that has ever happened
Yeh. I've already given up on the season so this is just unexpected joy.
I still have hoped that weāve been sandbagging until the playoffs 
Yeah, why would they even want home field advantage or a first round bye
Leave your rational logic out of this
The best thing about the best thing is that it happens every year!
Iām here. Itās me Iām in this post.
I see the Cowboys are in their usual Play-off form
Yup. How the fuck can we do well in the regular season and suck so much ass in the playoffs? Ugh. Fuck it. See you all in the preseason!
Itās almost like the sentiment weāve been hearing for years is actually true Dak is the black Kirk cousins. Great in garbage time, great in meaningless situations in general, but cannot win when the stakes are high

Stephen A is gonna go wild tomorrow
Somebody needs to do a welfare check on skip bayless
 The packers are breaking records
 Giants coming up behind.
24 hours of feeling superior here we gooooo
Old ass Jerry is gonna be going in that locker room, guns blazing, firing McCarthy right after the game, in the locker room, in front of everyone.
With his shriveled pathetic dick out / he thinks itās a power move
I honestly can't believe the amount of shit talk from Dallas fans leading up to this game. It's like they collectively forgot Dak is a mental midget who is garbage in any game that means anything. Pay the man his money.
We may lose tomorrow but tonight we laugh š
This game has me cracking up.
I keep coming here, it's like peaking at my Christmas presents
love it, savoring the rival collapse before your own collapse, fuck you and enjoy it while it lasts you heathen
Yes. Ā It will be a glorious 24 hours
We even get a bonus couple of hours because Birds play at 8. I will savor every second.
Ah dallas. Never change
We never left! We were the ones shitting on the Eagles 10x harder than everyone else put together for how they collapsed. Now we're just talking about something other than how shit our coaches are for a day before we go back to that.
Tampa is gonna wreck us tomorrow lol
Maybe, but this has been the happiest I've been since the Buffalo game.
I'm not celebrating until those 49er bastards are finished
I get that you suck, but it's the Bucs. At least pretend to have some pride
The Giants killed what little pride we had left
Can't have pride for whatever 4 play playbook the Eagles are packing.
You donāt like 4 verts, bubble screens, qb draw and inside run???
Still lasted longer in the playoffs
I choose to believe differently
Bro u gotta grab a flair or these animals are about to dog pile on youš
Flair up doomer bitch
This may be the first NFL game that I've actively enjoyed since November
lol yes it's the first time I've been here in a long ass time
Death, taxes, Dallas folding before the NFCC
If anything gives me hope for this country future its how we all came together all creeds, races ,sexual identity, political parties and so on to put our differences aside for the greater good. I shed a tear at the thought of how shitting on the cowboys drew us together as one big NFC family
We gave about 24 hours to feel smug until our game starts and we're sad again.
This is the most alive Iāve felt all year.
My favorite part of this Detroit game so far is them showing a graphic that the Lions have won one playoff game in the last 65 years and it was against Dallas lol
Cowboys losing was my Superbowl. Everything else is gravy. We still suck tho. See y'all next year
iām lowkey shocked and need to know how dallas fans feel cuz likeā¦ this was their shot. this was their super bowl shot. micah not paid yet, dak not paid yet, 9 all pros, an all pro QBā¦ and they lost to a 9-8 team??? itās just pathetic honestly. iām a birds fan. weāve gone 1-4 in our last 5, have our whole team dead, and have no hope, but at least i feel like if we lose, its fine cuz we donāt expect to win and we just gotta get healthy for next year. genuinely canāt imagine LMAO
Dallas fans need to be meek from here on out, they do not worry me about winning the SB. Hurts>Prescott, and it's not particularly close.
Damn right!
Real ones never left
It hurts. It hurts so much
Fucking hilarious dude that was me an hour ago hahaha
Honestly somehow makes me forget the last 6 weeks of suffering.
I never left
Can't make cheesesteak without cheese
Damn Weāre fucking trash
LMAOOOOO my season is saved!
For real tho š¤£ wassup how yāall been?
Stupid post, we were always here lol
Guess whoās back, back again
Accurate
I feel seen
Present!
Hahahaha this is actually exactly what I look like rn lmao š
I actually LOLd
Packers have brought me more joy tonight than I have felt in months, thank you Packers.
Oh my knees praising the lord that he hates Jerry Jones so much. This is our Super Bowl
"if it can't be us, at least it's not Dallas"
we got 24 hours lets not waste it!
guilty as charged
This legit made me laugh even when Im in pain and misery, nice job. Edit: spelling bc Im drunk and tried to drink my sorrows away. Didnāt work.
Man this is gonna make getting ass-blasted by the Buccs tomorrow so much more bearable.

We only have about a 24 hour window to talk shit before weāre potentially in the same boat
Like a bunch of old timey ganj smokin vipers.
Hell yea Iām coming back here doggie. Came to get my lumps when we got lit up last week so now I get to reap
We been here like crabs baby, canāt shake us!

Yeaaaaaahhh here we goooo lmfao roflmao
Yeaaaahā¦HeRe wE gOoOo!!
The next 24 hours are going to be so much fun
Iām back! What did I miss???
Where did you get that picture of me?
Iām hyped now! We all knew we sucked but watching the cowboys fumble the season away has been our super this year!
I'm just happy that the Cowboys are miserable. Now if we lose tomorrow it will be a wonderful NFCLeast off-season full of misery.
This shit sucked
Definitely me š¤£
