The Dallas Cowboys have been known as "America's Team" for a while now. They are one of the most popular teams in the NFL, even though they haven't had much success on the field since 1996, the year they won their last Super Bowl.
During this time, the Cowboys have failed to reach a single NFL Championship game. Analyst Skip Bayless can't believe how far his beloved Cowboys have fallen since their glory days in the '90s.
On the Skip Bayless Show, he said:
"I'd like to think that my books were written by a very objective Cowboy fan because a whole lot of Cowboy fans didn't love everything that I wrote in each of those three books. Gods coach the boys, and hell bent my Cowboy trilogy. But I'm proud of the trilogy.
"And yet, if you told me on January the 14th of 1996, an NFC Championship game in which Dallas beat Green Bay 38 to 27 to march on to what became their last Super Bowl. If you told me that day that 26 years would pass until my Cowboys played in another NFC Championship game, I would have laughed in your face. Not on your life."
Bayless blamed Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for tricking him season after season into thinking that Dallas would be successful.
He added:
"But that's what has happened. Twenty-six years have passed since my team even made it to a conference championship game? Year after year, I have fallen into the trap set by Jerry Jones. The offseason trap, the training camp trap of a wait a minute, maybe this is the year. Twenty-six times, he's gotten me. He even got me last year."
The Dallas Cowboys dominated in the 1990s and won three Super Bowls
The Dallas Cowboys are undeniably one of the greatest NFL franchises. Dallas holds claim to five Super Bowl victories, including three in the 1990s.
They have won Super Bowls in 1972, 1978, 1993, 1994, and 1996.
Since 2000, the Dallas Cowboys have had eight playoff appearances without a trip to the NFC Championship game.
They finished last season with an impressive 12-5 record and won the NFC East, but were beaten by the San Francisco 49ers in the wildcard round. This season, they'll have to watch out for the Philadelphia Eagles, who have strengthened their roster in the offseason.
Dallas' season will start Sunday night as they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 8:20 PM EDT.
