Reaffirming "America's Team"

Okay, so I will admit it: I nearly teared up watching the America's Game documentary of the 1992 Dallas Cowboys.

And it appears, to my childish delight, that I am not the only one who holds in their hearts the silver and blue clad team from the heart of Texas.

According to a Harris Interactive poll released in October, the Cowboys were viewed as America's favorite football team amongst those who consider themselves football fans. The Cowboys have been chosen as America's favorite team six times since 1998, and have appeared in the top five every year since 1998.

Say what you will about the likes of Jerry Jones, Wade Phillips, Tony Romo, and the rest of the lot, but the team has been consistently voted the national jewel of the NFL.
