I cannot control my rage and throw the remote into the 50 inch projection T.V. that belongs to my father in law. Had to replace it the next week. Sad day.
My hate started in the seventy's when Dallas came back (Stauback and Co.) on us when we were up by 13 and scored twice in the last two minutes of the game to hand us a loss. I remember I was 8 or 9. I ran to my room and cried all night.
My hate for Dallas could light the city of Las Vegas for a month.

That was the loss that hurt and made me a Cowboy hater for life.
Dallas has been more of a thorn in our side than Philly. We've sucked during Philly's recent run. Philly is supposed to beat us during these last 4-5 years. Dallas has been as bad as us, except for 2003, but we still lose to them. To this day I will say that Dallas cost us an undefeated season in 1991 (They won 1 game that year! Against us, the SB Champs!).
Most of our meaningful games against Philly took place in the 80's and early 90's and we usually won the important ones. Dallas and NY (so glad to when Phil Simms retired, he was a "Redskin-killer") were royal pains in butt during those years.
