    Glad to see all the positive reception for this video! We are VERY excited to do more videos like this! We did however make a small mistake. The Buccaneers owners name when they come up in 1976 - we said Hugh Culverson - and it’s Culverhouse. We are sorry about the error!

      Can we vote for a realignment? Im a Cowboys fan and it sucks having rivals with teams on the east coast that you never run into. If we played New Orleans and Texans twice a year that would be a great rivalry. We actually have family ties and competitive feelings towards our neighbors already. Maybe you could also schedule at least one game against a long time rival like the Redskins every year. So many teams have Rivalries with teams that are no where near them. Like Shouldn't the 3 Cali teams be in the same division? Florida also. forget the stupid NFC AFC none of us where alive to even give a damn about. Just divide the divisions by actual area. But still schedule old rivals at least once a year. Win win. Just have a West, East, South and MidWest division. Top 4 teams in each region go to playoffs. Imagine if the different regions actually squared off in the semi's !!! that would be lit. King of the East vs King of the West, or Midwest Champs vs Southern champs. Everybody would have a region to root for instead of two random teams that the other 30 team fans don't give a damn about. Now It would have some regional pride and history behind it. I know closed mined people will say "football is perfect dont change it". Glad they didnt think like that when they changed the game a million times in the last 100 years or we would have a shitty sport. What a dream to actually meet people you have rivalries with... maybe one day.
      West: Seattle, LAC, LAR, 49ers, Oakland, Arizona, Denver, KC
      MidWest: Greenbay, Chicago, Min, Indy, Detroit, Cinci, Cle, Tenn
      East: Boston, Giants, Buff, Philly, DC, Jets, Pitts, Baltimore
      South: N.O., Houston, Dallas, Jacks, Tampa, Miami, Atlanta, Carolina

    • @roberto5red5rocky85
      @roberto5red5rocky85 4 роки тому +25

      @@sizablekoala6879 Cowboys are called Americas team because it was a nickname given to them by the NFL films department because of their popularity, not championships. Even now they get the highest ratings and most airtime on any sports show because the ratings for both dont lie. Also they blow every other team out the water when it comes to merchandise sales and different product deals that other teams dont have. Love them or hate them they are Americas teams. Dallas along with the Steelers are a huge reason that Football took that next step into top dog in sports in the 0's. Much like what Magic and Bird did for basketball, same can be said about those Bradshaw and Staugbach teams. Nothing to do with Championships.
