The Dallas Cowboys mystique is dead. Hey, unless you’re old like us (myself included), you never remember the Cowboys being great – they’re just overhyped. The situation has gotten so bad that America’s Team, once a proud stadium denizen, has been replaced by recently successful teams like the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers, and Dallas Wings. Completely behind in success. jelly world.
With the 2024 season just around the corner, we’re hurtling toward 30 years since Dallas had any success in the NFL.
- 29 years since winning the Super Bowl (1995)
- 29 years since the NFC Championship (1995)
- No appearances in the NFC Championship Game since 1995.
- 5-13 record in playoffs since 1995
Despite all the talk of the Cowboys’ football influence, nationally televised games, and yearly promise, the organization has lagged behind the Carolina Panthers since the mid-’90s. Arguably the worst team in football right now, the Panthers have been far better than the Cowboys in every area for the past 30 years.
- 2 Super Bowl appearances (0 vs. Dallas)
- NFC Championship 2 times (vs. Dallas 0 times)
- 4 NFC Championship appearances (0 vs. Dallas)
- 9-8 record in playoffs since 1995
If the Cowboys are negatively compared to the worst teams in the NFL, they have no chance against successful teams in other sports, right?
Dallas Mavericks
- 1 NBA Championship (2010-11)
- 2 Western Conference Championships (2006, 2011)
- Five Western Conference Finals appearances (2006, 2011, 2022, 2024)
dallas stars
- 1 Stanley Cup Championship (1998-99)
- 3 Western Conference Championships (1999, 2000, 2020)
- 4-time Western Conference Finalist (1999, 2000, 2020, 2023)
texas rangers
- 1 World Series win (2023)
- Three AL pennants (2010, 2011, 2023)
- 7 wins in the West region
dallas wings
- 3 WNBA Championships (2003, 2006, 2008)
- Four Western Conference Championships (2003, 2006, 2007, 2008)
The Cowboys are no surprise to be a laughing stock. The overall annoyingness of Jerry Jones, combined with “celebrity” fans like Skip Bayless, hasn’t helped generate any goodwill with the fans, but it’s far worse than that. The Cowboys may be Dallas’ biggest draw because of their history, but there’s no question that they’ve become Dallas’ most inconsequential team since 1995.
Oh yeah…what about the cowboys?
