Dallas Strip Clubs: Gonzo: The Cowboys we love to hate | Philadelphia Inquirer | 01/08/2010
While we wait to see if the Birds will beat the ‘Boys tomorrow – and considering how the first two meetings went this season, you ought to cross your fingers and toes and anything else you have handy – I offer a personal list of the top 10 most hated Cowboys of my lifetime. Putting it together was a lot more fun than watching last week’s game.
10. Tom Landry: He was a fine man with a solid reputation, a coach lauded for his talent and character – which was the problem. He made the Cowboys respectable (even though he wore that silly hat). The Cowboys aren’t supposed to be respectable. Thankfully, Michael Irvin ushered in the infamous “White House” era and undid all Landry’s good PR work.
9. Pacman Jones: The prototypical Cowboy: talked big, played small, and had a well-documented fondness for strippers, firearms, frequent brushes with the law, and, of course, “making it rain.” Oh, and the nickname – you can’t forget the ridiculous nickname.
