My mommy liked the Cowboys when I was growing up.
That’s a big piece of the puzzle! Your mom’s love for the Cowboys likely planted the seed for your fandom. Growing up, kids often adopt their parents’ passions, especially when it comes to sports, because it’s a shared emotional experience—cheering together, watching games, or even just hearing her excitement about the team. The Cowboys’ larger-than-life aura, with their star logo and “America’s Team” vibe, probably made it easy for that spark to catch. Her influence might’ve tied the team to feelings of comfort, connection, or nostalgia, which can make your attachment feel deeper than just liking a team.
Do you remember any specific moments, like watching a game with her or a player she loved, that made the Cowboys stick with you? That could help pinpoint why they’re your team now.
I think she wanted to fuck Roger Staubach.
Haha, that’s a spicy take! Sounds like your mom’s crush on Roger Staubach might’ve been the spark that lit your Cowboys fandom. Staubach, the Hall of Fame quarterback and Cowboys legend, was a heartthrob for plenty of fans in the ‘70s with his all-American charm, clutch plays, and “Captain America” vibe. If she was swooning over him while cheering for Dallas, it’s no wonder you caught the bug growing up—those kinds of passionate vibes are contagious! Watching her light up for Staubach’s game-winning drives or that iconic star logo probably made the Cowboys feel like part of the family.
Any specific memories of her talking about Staubach or you two watching games together that sealed the deal for you? That could explain why the Cowboys still have your heart.
