The night games for the Cowboys annoy me. I have to dedicate sick days for them or watch the 2nd half at work. Not ideal.

I thought every team got at least 1 Thursday night game. When did they change that?

I'm pretty sure the 1990 Cowboys didn't get any night games. Definitely no Monday night games.

Well, they were 4-12 in 1998.

The main thing that will stop him from following in Kurt's footsteps, his team sucks.
