NFL Season Preview: Dallas Cowboys

Believe it or not, folks, the NFL season is much closer than you can possibly imagine. So close, in fact, that it's today. That's close.

Last year, we asked some of our favorite writers to opine why Their Favorite Team Was Better Than Yours. Ultimately, we found this constrictive, and it also might have killed James Frey. So this time, we've just asked them to just run free, talk about their team, their experience as a fan, their hopes, their dreams, their desires for oral sex. All our teams are now assigned; if you sent us an email and we didn't get back to you, we're sorry, and we accept your scorn. But today: Dallas Cowboys.
