You know how when you’re watching the Cowturds play, because the Cowboys were kind of okay in the mid-to-late 60s or whatever and now the rest of us have to suffer through them getting 13 prime time games a year as a result, and they either lose a game they shouldn’t have or got pushed to the last drive of the game against a one-win team? The team leaves themselves open to mild but accurate criticism.

You know what happens next, right? Inevitably, you get on social media and you see some variation of “hurr, durr, we won five rings and you haven’t, hurr durr.” It’s as inevitable as the tides only worse because at some point the tide will recede and the dead fish the tide leaves behind are at least friggin’ quiet.

And this is despite an entire generation of children being born, raised, gone to college, reached legal drinking age, and, in some cases, become eligible for AARP in the time since the Cowturds have done anything meaningful in the playoffs.

I actually looked it up, because I was curious and malicious. Since the turn of the century, they haven’t advanced any further than the divisional round of the playoffs in 21 years.

Now you can look at this cornucopia of incompetence, turn to me and say, “well, yeah, but the Houston Texans haven’t even done that much.”

You’re right. I’m not even going to try and argue that one little bit.

HOWEVER...there is one glaring difference. No Texans fan, no matter how big a homer they are, is remotely as deluded as to think this year is the Texans’ year. Whereas with the Cowboys EVERY year is gonna be their year right up until the minute they either lose in hilarious fashion in the playoffs, or don’t even so much as sniff them.

While this has proven to be a Cowboy-heavy post, I do not want to leave out the Baby-Eating Sister-[Kitten]ers of Tennessee, whose season the Houston Texans effectively ended last week. Hey, y’all remember that time you used an illegal forward lateral to win a game you absolutely had no right winning, also just before the turn of the century?
