I can relate to (most of) this. Can't remember if it was 1988 or 1989 that the scum took over the franchise and completely booted Tom Landry but that did it for me. I was already heavily getting into bass fishing, so giving up the nfl (lower case intentional) was easy to do. Still is easy to do now that my "spare" time is better spent either at the range or re-loading.JustSomeOldGuy wrote: ↑Sat Jul 18, 2020 5:13 pm I was thinking along the lines of the football parody movie "The Replacements", but not using 'Washington Sentinels'. Rather the 'Washington Signals'. (as in virtue signaling....)
Tom Landry was from my hometown. Stopped watching after they fired Landry, referred to the team after that as either 'The Dallas Plowboys' or 'The Dallas Arkies' in (dis)honor of Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson. To the best of my knowledge, both of those names are still available, and I won't even demand a royalty!
