Dallas Cowboys Thursday Night
By http://mhutch.blogspot.com

The Dallas Cowboys play their first pre-season game of the 2009 season in Oakland, California on Thursday night against the Raiders. Cowboys fans, like those of other teams around the NFL, are excited to see the 2009 season get underway. What's so neat about being an NFL fan is that before that first pre-season game, all teams are equal – which means that during any given season, some long shot team could rise to the top of the NFL and go all the way to the Superbowl.

In 2009, the Dallas Cowboys look like a club that could wear the America's Team badge that fans gave to them back in the 1970's. Some people may not know this, but the reason why the Dallas Cowboys end up playing in so many nationally televised games is because their nationwide fan base is larger than any other NFL team. In fact, the last time I checked – there were twice as many Dallas Cowboys fans as the team which was in second place.

Through good years and bad, Dallas Cowboys fans always go into the next season of football play with a positive attitude. Right now, most Dallas Cowboys fans are like myself in believing that this year will be the one where “America's Team” will go all the way to the Superbowl. Of course, as the Cowboys prepare to play the Raiders on Thursday night – I'm sure there are millions of Oakland fans that feel the same way.

In previous posts I have been negative about the past performance of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. However, until he proves me wrong – I intend to get behind Romo as the offensive leader of the Cowboys. I certainly hope that Tony Romo will not only have his head in the game against the Oakland Raiders on Thursday night, but I also hope that he will maintain a good focus throughout the entire season.
