No Nate, it's not that easy.
I've hated the Cowboys for more years than I can remember.
I'm an old St. Louis Cardinals fan, and that should say enough.
For some reason, those two teams got a little bit of a rivalry going a while back.
Even when the Cardinals had a losing record, for some reason, they'd always get up for the Cowboys, and at least put up a good fight.
I also got sick of watching them totally waste their Monday Night Football competition. Staubach, Dorsett, all those guys.
Then after that, we watch the post-Danny White years, where they start kicking butt and taking names again. Disgusting.
But, you know what? They're not half as much fun to hate when they're not playing well. I learned a new level of hatred for them during their Jimmy Johnson years. What a dork. Hey Jimmy, Glen Campbell called, and he wants his hair back.
And Jerry Jones. What can you say about Jerry Jones? He's the icing on the cake, but not the main protagonist. I still can't believe that idiot fired Johnson over Johnson snubbing him at a bar. I don't care HOW big a dork someone is, if they put the goods on the table, you back the heck off. Go drink with your rich buddies, and leave the coach alone. That dude is like Steinbrenner, but with only half his IQ!
So anyway, it's not just Jerry Jones. Us Dallas haters have always had good reasons to hate the Cowboys, and most of it stems from watching them beat your favorite teams!
Let's hope they do better next year so I can feel good about hating them again!

P.S.: Since everyone seems to be getting their panties in a bunch lately at the drop of a hat, let me say the preceeding was a good natured jest, and was simply the promulgation of the good 'ol American Competitive Spirit that resides in all loyal NFL fans.
P.P.S.S.: I'm also glad Aikman finally decided to hang them up. I don't like to see somebody suffer repeated concussions over and over, even if I don't like them or their team! It's no fun to boo someone who's unconscious. He was a hell of a quarterback, and he'll be remembered for a long, long, time.
