Everyone enjoys a little Cowboys schaudenfreude

Paul Zimmerman used a quote for his 1988 book Duane Thomas and the Fall of America’s Team that seems appropriate here. It was written by Terrence Gallagher of the Instrument and Apparatus News back in 1982, but still rings true:

“There are three types of people in the civilized world,” Gallagher wrote. “There are those who love the Dallas Cowboys, those who hate the Dallas Cowboys, and those who don’t know who or what the Dallas Cowboys are.

“I call these people Group A, B, and C, respectively. I have never met a Group C person, but reliable sources informed me they do exist -- they live mostly along the west bank of the Amazon.

“Group B people are paragons of mankind. They are superior in every way to Group A and Group C. Group A (except those living in or near Dallas, who have been brainwashed since birth and have long ago lost all ability to make rational decisions) should be shunned at all costs. They are not to be trusted.”

For everyone in Group B out there, here are the worst moments for the Cowboys since 1987.
