Meh. Cowboys fans are way too arrogant, and the Cowboy circus would totally overwhelm the Super Bowl. No thanks. I'd rather play another team. Plus: it wouldn't be competitive. We would beat the living snot out of them.
DFW area is one of the largest populations in the country

DFW Population
See result #1....

So if Dallas is allowed to skew it's population by adding surrounding cities then I guess we should go ahead and add the Woodlands, Galveston, and any other city we want too.
It's Dallas, or it's Fort Worth, it's not both.

DFW is one metro area, thats why its added. DFW is bigger than the Houston Metro Area (if you include all those you mentioned plus others).
Its meaningless anyway. Dallas by itself is the 9th largest city in the US.

You can't count the "Metro area." What the hell does that even mean anyway?
Hey let me just say all of west Texas plus Houston is the Houston metro area. That makes us the biggest!:kubepalm:
Uh, dude thats exactly the same information thats on wikipedia
Last one. Go ahead and education yourself if you want.

It's neither. Cowgirls stadium is in Arlington.

Oh look at you end the argument.
Guess its the DFW/Arlington metroplex area.
Watch out Oklahoma. Dallas will claim you too.

Hey I was backing you up. Arlington is a tiny city yet both cities claim it as part of itself.
The funny thing, many of the longtime residents of the two cities really don't like the other much. My ex-GF's mother was from Ft Worth and she HATED if someone referred to it as "The Metroplex".

All I am saying is Dallas trying to count surrounding cities as part of their population is like a guy saying their junk is really 2 inches bigger if you measure how much area their boys take up.
TEXANRED

I was agreeing with you.
Actually what you said was Dallas has a small population and thats why they can't fill their stadium.
If you just count Dallas, they are 9th largest
If you count DFW, they are 4th largest
This is not Dallas choosing what to count, its the way the census and statistics of these things are counted. Alrington is directly in between D and FW anyway, so its not like it doesn't draw easily from both areas.
Either way, your original idea makes zero sense

Actually what he REALLY said was
You ASSumed he meant Dallas, but in fact, the stadium is in Arlington, pop 365,438.

I know (hope) you're messing with me here. As if size of the literal city of stadium makes any difference. Foxboro has 16k population and is almost an hour away from Boston. They don't have trouble filling it...

Different day, same crud as a Cowboy fan for me. I wouldn't expect anything less these days. I don't even get mad anymore. I thought maybe an improved secondary would help but overall it isn't any of that. Jerry has made a team with no homefield advantage and with guys who don't have the intangibles needed to win. Their robot...errrr..coach, isn't too great either. Alot of the players are just happy to be there. Instead of more Sean Lees we have more Dez Bryants. Garrett can't gameplan and do anything with the offense. In an age of parity, my Boys decided they might as well just be constantly mediocre. And to think one blown wide open pass would have had them in the playoffs last year and not the Giants. Typical of this team.

Go Texans!
Jerry Jones is an owner who has pretty much created his own mess, IMO.
If he would just hire a truly competent "football guy," such as Bill Cowher and then force himself to do nothing at all with the team...THEN the Cowboys might stand a chance.
As it is, however, they are dysfunctional like Al Davis' Raiders were (and still are, seeing as how the residue won't wear off for a long, long time). Both those owners' teams had a little success and then let it get to their heads to the point that they couldn't get out of their own way.
The coaches, the players, the environment...it's all so very mismatched. Forced. Incompatible. And that falls on the shoulders of Jerry Jones. Period. And all he thinks is stuff like "Well, maybe it's time to get a new QB." or maybe he thinks "Well, maybe a better head coach is in order here." No, Jerry, YOU are the problem. The common denominator of all your problems, Jerry, is YOU.
He has an addiction to the acquisition and wielding of power. And he's taking all his organization and its fans down with him. And Cowboys fans are stuck with it. Can't jump ship, or the Cowboys fan is called a fair weather fan. And can't stand to watch because they know the outcome ahead of time. It's perpetual frustration, I'm sure. Can't change the owner, and that's their problem.

BUENO!
To be perfectly honest I'd be fine with that. I think we should go up there in the middle of the night, bulldoze that whole pile of s**t across the Oklahoma border, and just play dumb in the morning claiming it was always over there.

All I know is that I'm still smiling this morning! Watching the "girls" crash on National TV was AWESOME! Watched the game with my Cowboy lovin son-in-law and MAN was it fun watching him cringe!! To his credit though, he will pull for the Texans over the Cowboys! Got him converted a few years ago when I refused to give him a ticket to a Texan game unless he wore a Texan jersey! He was hooked! Still loves his Cowboys, but, that's ok, he's got his heart in the right place now, and it belongs to the Texans.
