Anybody who knows anything about sports in the Washington, DC metro area knows that in this town there are two NFL teams, the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys. More important than how all of these Cowboys fans got here, is why? Why does a city more than 1,300 miles away have just as many fans in the District of Columbia as a team that plays its home games just a few metro stops from the National Mall?

It’s true that Jessica Simpson jokes were getting old, but Simpson and Romo have been kind enough to give us some new material.  For Tony’s Birthday, Jessica messily devoured a cake shaped like the Dallas Cowboys Star (see picture).  If that isn’t symbolic, I don’t know what is.  Note the deer-in-the-headlights look of panic in Romo’s eyes.  He knows he’s doomed.  Oh yes, he knows.

 Clearly, local bloggers everywhere have followed the example our President has set for us. The very funny site Kissing Suzy Kolber has added two articles mocking the Texas team. First, they launched another episode of the Wade and Jerry Show, which is always good for a few laughs. And then they went on to make fun of Terrell Owens in yet another skit.

Finally, the great people at Bang Cartoons have a new hysterical cartoon called Pac Man Does Dallas. 

So let us all enjoy this new renaissance of Cowboy-inspired humor.  It’s good to be a Redskins fan!
