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.

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.

A conversation I had with a Dallas fan at work this morning:

DF: "Hey, have you heard about that billboard in Dallas?"

Me: "Yeah. I love it. They're scared"

DF: (looks down) "Yeah."

:cool:

Just had a similar conversation, the guy I work with is a little more ****y though. He did concede that we will probably split with them this year though.

In my mind that is a victory with this guy.

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".

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.

If anyone knows, let me know. I didnt hear what road it was on when it was reported on the news. It may be by Texas Stadium. I will look for it this weekend.

C'mon turdman, get in the spirit. You just KNOW Tom Landry and George Allen are already talking smack to each other on that Great Football Field above.

Hmmm Landry talk smack I am not sure about that. But bringing in Gibbs was the best move Synder has made since he got there! Lets see how the Skins season shapes up....

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.
