Glad to see that the rivalry is still on.

It's a little different for Cowboys fans I think.
We want to beat the Skins the most but we don't hate them so much. I think a lot of the nasty things from this rivalry came about a generation or two before the majority of fans came to be.

Things like Clint Murcheson buying the rights to the song 'Hail to ...' and coercing Washington to vote for the Dallas franchise to be admitted to the NFL (or however that went, it's way before my time).

That was a loooooooong time ago.

What has happened recently to make supporters of each team hate each other?

Really, Dallas smothered you guys for ten or so years and for a lot of those years we weren't going anywhere anyway. All we did was sweep you.

I respect the type of football that is played in the NFC East. I love beating any team from the East. But I don't hate you guys. (Well, never say never.)

I hate San Francisco. I hate the Packers, I refuse to speak to their fans. I hate the entire AFC, home of the weakest Super Bowl champions in the past 25 years.

But I am starting to develop a hate for you guys again. A sweep will do that for you.
