For me at least, the teams I hate happen to win a lot. So it's a bit of a compliment. I disliked your Cowboys in part because they kept beating my Packers in the playoffs. That they Cowboys had Michael Irvin, Deon Sanders, Jimmy Jones didn't help matters.
The Superbowl is a tough call for me, as she's a Giants fan. I don't hate the Giants but I have to admit I'm not a big fan.

David, I hated the Packers for the same reason ('66,'67 NFL championship). I was certain Bart Starr didn't make it over the goal-line. Still hurts to think about that play. The guys you mention wouldn't have lasted a day on those old Cowboy teams - Landry wouldn't have put up with them. Remember Hollywood Henderson? And can you imagine how Vince Lombardi would have reacted to those guys?
Jerry Jones is a travesty, but he's in good company in pro sports.
