12 Reasons We Love The Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys

Although the Dallas Cowboys aren't the winningest team in the NFL, there are so many things that make us love our Boys through and through.

1. The cheerleaders

These girls carry the team on their back... always. They probably get more screen time on the jumbotron than the boys do, but you gotta give the people what they want. And they have their own T.V. show. What other cheerleaders have that?



2. Jerry Jones

The owner of America's Team deserves so much respect. We might as well call him America's Grandpa.



3. 5 Super Bowl wins

1972, 1978, 1993, 1994, 1996, and maybe 2017? Let's pray.



4. Troy Aikman

Hall of Famer, twelve consecutive season QB, and the number one draft pick in 1989. Troy is the man.


5. They hail from Texas and are "America's Team"

There is nothing more American than an NFL team that's blue and white, from Texas and has stars on its jerseys.



6. AT&T Stadium and the jumbotron

Little known fact: the jumbotron has its own zip code and weather forecast.


7. Doomsday Defense of the '70s

This defensive tactic won two Super Bowls (VI, XII) and played in three more (V, X and XIII). Incredible.



8. Everyone's dad and uncle and grandpa's favorite team.

No matter how poor their season is going, these men stand by the Boys. Loyal fans.



9. Their sheer value

An article from Forbes Magazine, dated September 5, 2012, lists the Cowboys as the highest valued sports franchise in the history of the United States. And they are worth $4.2 billion, in case you were wondering.



10. Their 2016 season record

7-1 baby.



11. 20 straight winning seasons

The Cowboys are the only NFL team in history to have 20 winning seasons: 1966-1985.



12. Tony Romo

We hate that we love him. Or love that we hate him.



Go Cowboys!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
