Hey, CA, take it easy with the "non-biased" commentary, okay? Eccie has an unwritten policy that I'm the only one who's allowed to come in here and spew made up stats / percentages about the Cowboys. LOL
Kidding aside......the "America's Team" moniker still cracks me up to this day.....Dallas was dubbed as such by a VP of marketing at NFL Films which ironically is located less than 80 miles away from where divisional rival New York Football Giants Stadium is located. They never checked with Schramm or Landry (nor Clint Murchison) about this name either.....just slung it out there in 1978 or so and it's been a such ever since..
Cowboy fans never asked for this nickname in the first place....however, it's probably deserving in the fact that every one of the networks' head honchos would give their left testicle to have the Cowboys as their Game of the Week if given the choice.
The Cowboys are Gold for the networks and every year the numbers bear that out....for instance, the top game for each network in 2012 (ESPN, FOX, NBC, CBS and the NFL Network) was the Dallas Cowboys....and "somebody else".
Not sure if there are polls to back up your point (80% or more want to see Dallas get beaten) but no matter. It doesn't change the fact people across the country do tune in to watch them, win, lose or draw.
