At long last, after 13 years of playoff futility, the Cowboys finally won a postseason game. How long has it been? They last won a game that mattered on December 28, 1996. Damn! To break it down a little, Clinton was still in his first term as Pimp in Chief..... and was still getting his chilly whacked regularly by Monica Lewinski..........

'Married with Children', 'Martin', and 'Beavis and Butthead' were all ending long, funny stints on our TVs.......

Tupak was shot 3 months before that last playoff win, and Biggie, 3 months after, but the Spice Girls, somehow, had the year's biggest song, and they didn't get shot at. WTH?

'Braveheart' (the original facepainter) was the year's best movie. The Unabomber (the original Bin Laden) had just been caught. "Hannity and Colmes" and "The Daily Show" were just beginning long runs on our favorite cable channels, and the people of Dallas were all doing the Macarena.....

Damn, it's been a looooooong time!

Nice flashback. I was only three years old at the time... lol. Can't believe Cincinnati didn't end their even longer drought on Saturday as well.
ReplyDeleteFavorite quote of all time concerning the Cowboys:
ReplyDelete"Dallas Cowboys America's team???? He11-fire, they ain't even Dallas's team."-- Larry McMurtry in a TV Guide article dispelling Texas myths.
Hey, you're a big SEC fan, what's the lowdown on Tommy Tuberville? He's been hired as the new TTU coach.
Gonger...Well, of the things I mentioned, you didn't miss much. lol. You can always see Braveheart on dvd.
ReplyDeleteSB14....That was McMurtry? I thought it was Gent.
ReplyDeleteTuberville. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. He was involved with some shady dealings to get the Auburn job. He said he wouldn't leave Ole Miss....then he left the next day for Auburn! A billionaire Auburn booster was his benefactor and ran T Bowden off to get him. He was a good coach, I think he is a run first type, though. Not Tech's style.
Dec. 1996, I was making a book distributor richer by putting Monica & Bill books on the best-seller lists!
ReplyDeleteWhen does that new book of yours go on sale? Can't wait!
Hmmm...Same year Tony Stewart was named the rookie of the Indy 500. It has been along time.
