Yes, the name is apt.

Given fifteen years of military progress in Afghanistan and recent conduct of the US Navy's Seventh Fleet, yes, I believe the Dallas Cowboys can appropriately be called "America's Team."

Meanwhile, local sports writers are swooning over the Chargers having won "five of their last seven games" and now being in contention to reach the playoffs. Right; with a current record of five wins and six losses. It should be noted that all five wins have been against teams with losing records; such notables as the Giants, currently 2-9, and the Broncos, who are currently 3-7. They have played two teams with winning records in that seven-game stretch, and have lost to both of them. Maybe another "America's Team."

1. the Cowboys will never be America's team in my eyes

[flotsam]

2. The Cowboys are "America's Team"???

They have the highest F/RS ratio in the entire NFL!

3. Last year may well have been an outlier

Over the last 10 years or so the Cowboys have been a .500 team. Basically the whole Romo and Jerruh as GM period.
