Tell me about it! As a Jets fan I suffered through his crap play. But he looks al-right for the Eagles out of the pressure cooker of NY and having some actual playmakers around him. He just has to try not to F up too much.

Dallas! ;-)
Seriously though, you can relate them to Spurs, historically they were seen as the grandest team in the sport (enough to earn the nickname of America's team), they have had a couple of golden periods interspersed with times of utter failure. Of the two winningest franchises (Dallas and Pittsburgh) they are the flashier air attack side opposed to the Steelers defensive grind. In recent years the team has relied more on one or two flair players than a solid overall roster and whilst there has been some memorable performances this is the first time in 5 years we have made the play offs. Inevitably there has been a backlash in recent years and we have become the team everyone else loves to hate.

Watch this video from about 2:10 and see why you utterly shouldn't follow the Dallas Cowboys... unless you're a closet ManU fan or Scouser :dipper:

Their Quarterback (Romo) being the Gerrard of the NFL...
@mixedknuts: *Dawning realisation that late-career Steven Gerrard is Tony Romo*
@GridironGents: Steven Gerrard being kept well away from Bears training camp as he has a serious case of choking, rumour has it he is related to Tony Romo.
@WillParchman: Good one. Dani Alves = Richard Sherman. Gerrard = Romo. RT @rui_xu: So if we're doing cross-sport comps, Andrea Pirlo = Steve Nash, right?

Aw come on you cant be serious. Dallas have had pretty good play for a long time, no really bad years and are well supported. If you want to pick a team that is like spurs in that they flatter to deceive then you need to go for a team like the Eagles or maybe even the Redskins. Or a team that was great a long time ago, still aspires to be great but isnt. That would be the Miami Dolphins. If you want to glory pick then you go with Seattle or New England. Or if you want to go with former good teams that are doing well again then you have the 49ers.
I dont hate the Cowboys but they are over supported already. Do something fresh. Go for a different team. Ravens, Colts etc.

the 49ers are close, but you can't pick a team that play in red can you
pats and Seahawks are city and Chelsea
eagles are like.... wait.... no can't think of any football club that haven't won something... they play in green though, Plymouth argyle, there you go
Redskins have been the continuing laughing stock of the NFL pretty much forever, dysfunctional to a fault, offensive to many, did manage to win one though before sliding back and are heading for a name change, Wimbledon
I was going with, used to be the best, big city glamour team, years of struggle, now starting to find their feet but everyone else is just waiting (and hoping) for us to implode, play in white and blue, owner thinks he knows more than he does so gets overly involved in squad building, not done anything of note since the 90's when we had a brilliant number 8 feeding multiple threats

As a Giants fan since the 1980s (that happened to be the replica helmet I got in the first packet of NFL gumballs I bought from the corner shop) I'm thoroughly biased and have despised the Cowboys for almost as long as I've hated ARSEnal (the Goon up the street got a Cowboys helmet) but agree with all of the above. Aside from some blue on their kits the Cowboys probably have less in common with Spurs than just about any NFL franchise.

Giants were sheer happenchance for me and I just opted for San Antonio in the NBA because they are also Spurs, never got into MLB or NHL tho.

If the colts had not won it with Peyton a few years back i would have suggested them as the spurs connection. They had not won it since the 60's and play in blue and white. So with that team crossed off ill go with the San Diego Chargers. They play in spurs colors and flatter to deceive nearly every year only to under perform when it matters.

It's impossible to compare American teams to British teams, the draft makes it much more even. Five years ago the Seahawks were one of the worst teams in the league, now they're favourites to win their second Superbowl in a row. Premiership teams are stuck in their tiers which they will never break out of without a billionaire owner, in American sports a bad team can become a great one within a couple of years with good drafting and cap management.

Aw come on man!
its just a joke anyway and we are having a laugh with it. That is one of the reasons I love american sports. All the franchises are pretty well off and you can go from crap to pretty good in a couple of years unlike the premier league. But its still fun to joke about it. And I can give testiment to the fact that no matter the money etc some teams in the NFL never get their time either. I have been supporting the Jets for 30 years now and the closest we have come is three AFC Championship games that we have then lost.Thankfully I have been lucky with the San Antonio Spurs and the New Jersey Devils but the Mets and Jets are just pain pills. And even though its cool to see the Spurs win the Championship I am more into my NFL and the Jets are not close and wont be for a long time.
