That's 13 out of 14 horrendous years with the one winning year a 9-7 record. Live through that.

Everyone hates the Cowboys and their fans, except Cowboy fans. While we had Landry coaching we were still 'clean' and somewhat likable, but Jerry Jones, Michael Irvin, etc., changed all that. I actually quit being a fan for a couple of games back in the '90s, and still renounce my fan-ship after each miraculous come-from-ahead loss of the last three years. I can't tell you how many times in that period I've sworn I'll never watch another Cowboys game.
When I was a kid the Super Bowl didn't matter - the big game each of my first two years of football awareness was losing to the Packers in the NFL Championship. The Chiefs and Raiders were non-entities, along with the rest of the AFL - the Packers might as well have been playing our high school team as far as we were concerned. The Jets changed all of that.
