America's Team

[JoeTait75]

The driving force behind so much of the Cowboys popularity was Tex Schramm. He was a marketing genius and he loved the NFL Films le to their 1978 season film.

IIRC Schramm was the main driver in Dallas being kept in the Eastern Division after the merger. Which was kind of a brilliant move b/c it kept the Cowboys front and center in the league's biggest media markets.

Even today the Cowboys far too often get "America's Game of the Week" when they'll be playing some team like Arizona while the Lions/9ers get brushed to the side

Except that they don't. Green Bay vs the Giants was the game when the Cowboys played Arizona. What the Cowboys do get is a lot of Sunday night/Monday night/Thursday/Saturday games, but I'm pretty sure the networks choose those.

Yeah..though it isn't always like that...a couple of years ago we got no Monday Night games and like 1 or 2 Sunday night games.

Oh yeah, when they stunk they didn't get that many. The networks are probably more aware than anyone that the people that give the Cowboys great ratings when they're good are the first ones to stop watching when things go wrong.

Dallas is Mexican-America's team!

There is no America's team, period!

If the packers rack up 3 straight superbowls, people are gonna grow tired of their mugs and will hate them like they do with the Lakers.
