An old-school Cowboys rival brings to mind the ups-and-downs of NFL teams as they chase a Lombardi

Today, I turn 49 years old, which means I’m in the final year before hitting the half-century mark. That mean’s I’ve been through over four decades of Cowboys football, which is just young enough to miss out on Roger Staubach, but old enough to witness the Jerry Jones era in it’s entirety. Coincidentally, I’ve just recently reached 4,900 followers on Twitter.

Maybe 49 is a lucky number? Come to think of it, I want no part of it because when I compile a list of NFL teams I loathe, the San Francisco 49ers sit right near the top of that list.
