Oh Geezus, Now you got Catts worked up. Her Americas Team rant is older than Times 4.

Yes I started on MJS in 1996 because I learned that some Packers' fans were claiming that the Packers were America's Team so I had to present the facts to them. I was then invited to Times Four in 1996[or7]. NFL films must have learned of this too because  during that same year they released another America's Team video titled "America's Team Forever" [about the Dallas Cowboys]šŸ˜»

....and this is not a rant. I'm typing with a smile on my catt face.šŸ˜» Others posted about America's Team first. I'm just being polite by reresponding to their many posts.ā˜ŗ

I remember 1993 and I also thought that the Cowboys called themselves Americaā€™s Team loud and often enough that some believed them and the name stuck. It doesnā€™t mean itā€™s actually true. I call myself PackerPatrick and it sticks because no one else has stole it. 

No, the original NFL Films video came out in the 1970's, then another in 1996. In the 70's Tom Landry did not like the title because it put a 'target on our back'. The name stuck because they were the most popular team, was the only team, at the time, to wear white uniforms at home games, sold the most merchandise & other reasons. The media and sports media continued to refer to them as America's Team, and still do. The franchise finally accepted the title that was given to them BY NFL FILMS. That 1970's video is still aired on the NFL Network or maybe ESPN. The Cowboys are the only NFL team that has official NFL America's Team merchandise.šŸ˜»šŸ’™šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øteam.

 Actually there is a 3rd NFL film titled 'The Timeline' How The Dallas Cowboys became America's Team. That is the one aired by the NFL Network.

Patriots get bailed out on a questionable PI call on Hayward vs. Gronk in the end zone and end up with 7 instead of 3. Gronk pushes Hayward his whole route and when he goes to turn Hayward gets called. 

Typical PI call for Patriots. Itā€™s the Gronk engage a DB until zebra tosses flag. Opening drive Brady throws no pass more than 5 yards beyond LOS and many were behind LOS. Iā€™m glad we didnā€™t go with McDaniels. I just hate the Patriots and in spite of their consistent winning I find them to be boring. it hasnā€™t been since the Acheman cowpies that,Iā€™ve seen such a boring championship caliber of play.
