Listen up, because I'm about to drop some truth that'll make Dallas fans lose their minds. The Cowboys are the most ridiculously overrated franchise in all of professional sports, and it's not even close. This team hasn't won a Super Bowl in nearly THREE DECADES, yet they're still called 'America's Team' like it's 1995. They've won exactly THREE playoff games since 2009 – that's fewer than the Jacksonville Jaguars! Meanwhile, Jerry Jones keeps selling this fantasy that they're contenders every single year while charging the highest ticket prices in the NFL. The media coverage is absolutely insane for a team that consistently chokes when it matters. They get more primetime games than teams that actually make deep playoff runs. Their fans act like Dak Prescott is elite when he's never even reached a conference championship game. The Cowboys generate more revenue than any other NFL team while delivering less meaningful success than franchises spending half their budget. It's the greatest con job in sports – selling nostalgia and hype while delivering mediocrity year after year.
