You know, 5RINGS, I don't like to use the word "hate," but there's just always been something about Dallas that always made we want not just to beat you guys but really demolish and demoralize your team. That's why I enjoyed Sunday's game so much; it reminded me, in some ways, of the '82 NFC title game. Man, my favorite football memories all seem to be the Skins against Dallas - Ken Houston sacking Staubach, Dexter Manley puttin' a hurt on Danny White, Dave Butz taking Dorsett down with a finger in his jersey sleeve...

Yet, I've never "hated" Dallas fans. And I've respected a lot of your players and coaches... after they took off that star! I had the chance to meet Tom Landry once. What a gentleman. I had great respect for him. Same with Staubach.

The 'iggles, though, now they're another story. They and their fans are just thugs. I despise them AND I don't respect them...

All that said, it is good to see the rivalry back and I hope it stays. It's past time for the NFC to step back into the limelight and push the AFC back to "junior" status...
