sippin2020 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Heard this on 980 last night. If anyone can find a picture of this it would be most appreciated. Posted on Wed, Jan. 21, 2004 Billboard features Wanted: Joe Gibbs Associated Press Dallas - Newly rehired Washington coach Joe Gibbs is "wanted" by more than just Redskins fans. A billboard along a busy Dallas highway is touting the rivalry between the Cowboys and the Redskins -- now that Gibbs is back on the scene. Gibbs retired following the 1992 season after leading the Redskins to their only three Super Bowl titles. He returned as coach of the Redskins on January seventh. Now some Cowboys fan has paid to put up a billboard -- styled like a "WANTED" post -- with a photo of Joe Gibbs. The message says, quote: "WANTED, by Cowboys fans for conspiring against America's team." The billboard company confirms the person who paid for the sign is a Cowboys fan -- but his or her name isn't being made public. W-F-A-A television reports the person who paid for the billboard -is not- Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. (Thanks to Gina Miller and Allan Koenig of WFAA) http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/7763359.htm I love the fact the the Cowboy fans are jumping right back into this rivalry with both feet. We want Dallas! :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 For it to be a rivalry, we gotta start winning some of these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaganaut Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I actually like these fans. They're true blue and silver not like the contrarian "sheeple" on the East Coast who wear the silver star because it makes them stand out. I would never begrudge people in northern Texas for being homies. The Tuna's going to go rancid fast down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 A conversation I had with a Dallas fan at work this morning: DF: "Hey, have you heard about that billboard in Dallas?" Me: "Yeah.

He did concede that we will probably split with them this year though. In my mind that is a victory with this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzSkinsFan63 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 anyone ever heard the term..bulletin board material..well now it's "Billboard Material" Holy sh*t that's a new level.. Kinda reminds me when the cowboy fans were chanting "Superbowl" with Campo and Quincy! :laugh: Dumb Pieces of cow dung! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bccdc Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 That is outstanding! I certainly hope Gibbs can help resuscitate our end of this rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halter91 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 That is Freaking awesome. I can almost have respect for some "real" CowPUKE fans. Looks like the rivalry will be in full effect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsNation Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Great point about the fact that DC area Cowboy fans only wear that gear to stand out. I agree and do respect true Dallas area Cowboy fans. I think that most of the DC area Cowboy fans like to wear that gear for attention and maybe let off some steam but they have minimal knowledge about that team. I guarantee I know more about the Cowboys than most of these local Cowboy bandwagon jumpers. And about the rivalry, it hasnt been much of one lately, but Spurrier was a joke of a coach in the NFL so if they want to get excited about kicking him around along w/ Schott/Norv etc.. then good for them. But this is a new chapter - as far as Im concerned we are 0-0 - This is Gibbs vs. Parcells "The New Beginning of the Greatest Rivalry". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnydertheHun Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 When you said billboard, I thought you meant that Parcells was seen wearing a T-shirt with Gibbs on it. "Get on my belly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayprils Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 It just shows how Cowpuke fans fear of Mr. Gibbs coming back and evil hates the light. This is a great day for us Skins fans because this idiot who did this basically surrendered to us. We've won the first battle. The next one will be on the field.

SittingBill Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I will always remember the Sign that hung in DC with the Cowboy with **** kicked out of him, it showed a cowboy and some boots sticking out of the bottom.

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I'd like to know when these folks will realize that they aren't "America's team." A stupid phrase that they were given when they were carrying a large corp of bandwagon fans in the 70's. The only reason they still own this phrase is because someone came up with it in the 70's instead of the 80's. Otherwise the Niners would be called that.
