The Dream
Hello Cowboy fans, I want to say happy MLK day to everyone. I don’t care what color or creed, he fought for us all to be treated equally. He was a great man that went through so much in trying to achieve his goals for all of us. But it takes each and everyone of us to continue to work towards his goal, to be “color blind”.
Now as Cowboy fans we will also have to endure hardship this offseason. The media and newspapers will continue to question, criticize and put a negative cloud over everything that happens in Cowboy nation. From everything that happened during the season such as Romo’s trip and T.O’s defending his quarterback, to them trying to decide on which player to blame for the second half of the Giants game. They wont stop there! Through trades, the combine, and the draft, they will be there with all of the negative thoughts and comments. Martin Luther King did not begin his dream through negative thoughts and actions, but rather very positive, seeing all his countrymen as one. As Cowboy fans we must base our actions with the same idea as Mr. King. We stand united as Cowboy fans, the best fans in the world, for the best team in the world!
To be a true fan you stand behind your team through the good and the bad. Some would have you think this is a bad time, but I think not. This is a wonderful time to be a Cowboy fan. We have an awesome team that will only continue to be better. Jerry Jones finally has his quarterback so there is nothing he wont do to make this team better.
So I have a dream! A dream for a ring!

Couldn't agree with you more.
I don't consider these bad times. Since when was a 13-3 season bad times?
To hell with the haters and the media.

Patrick,
I enjoyed your writing. It was creative and well written. And you are absolutely correct that the media will question and analyze. That's what we're paid to do. Sadly, that's what sells. Fortunately, I'm a feature journalist. I don't have to do that sort of thing..thank goodness. I do take exception to comments to your wonderful blog, such as "To hell with the haters and the media." Martin Luther King, as far as I know, didn't tell anyone to go to hell. He taught "love", not "hate". And, this day, of all days, I think we should honor that.
