What a night. The Dallas Cowboys debuted in their new stadium. It sure is pretty. And how did it turn out?...a loss. But, it was a huge night--the glam of the Oscars, touted as the 8th wonder of the world--what a place! Unbelievable. Over a Billion dollars--that's Billion with a "B." It's kind of hard to wrap your head around--that much money--a thousand Million.
Lots of people have lots of opinions about the money spent and professional sports in general. There is so much money on the line and when a team represents an area or city--what does that mean? Are the players from the area, only rarely. Yet, most of us get all lathered up about a game. I live in TX. I wasn't born in TX. My husband of course says I got here as fast as I could. And, just for the record, my husband had been a Cowboy fan since the 70's. He has met "Too Tall Jones," Roger Staubach, and Harvey Martin.
And me, I sure feel like a Texan. I have pride in my state--except for the "appraisal reform" passed by our governor, but that's another blog. Why do I feel like a Texan when I was born in PA and lived in two other states? Maybe we all need to feel like we belong somewhere, and well, it may as well be where we live, because, welll that just makes sense. Or makes our choice make sense.
Now, back to sports,the Dallas Cowboys to be exact. America's Team, right? You either love 'em or hate 'em. Not a lot of people lukewarm about the Cowboys. Not many can argue the high level of business acumen of owner Jerry Jones. Not a bad business move, huh?! Build the stadium that is the mecca of all sports. The state of the art of all state of the art facilities. Not a bad "call" Jerry.
Too bad it had to be a loss, but the game was a lot of fun--even for a girl like me, not even from here.
