##Maybe we're just tired of 4 years of the same,(Eagles). Start great, hit
  the sliding board,team controversies,choke in the playoffs. And whats the
  name of the bimbo who let Jackson get away?
  Now the real issue here is the Cowboys,a young organization with plenty of
  talent and a coaching staff that knows how to win. Their turn around record
  and the resilience they have shown in one of the toughest divisions makes 
  them pretty attractive to people who want a change.
  And besides....name calling just ain't gettin' it anymore !!!
