The year:1989
The place: Northeastern PA

My dad is wearing a Dallas Cowboys Starter jacket. The little kid version of me is wearing the same. NEPA being the melting pot of sports allegiances that it is, as we walk down the street we pass Eagles fans, Giants fans, Redskins fans, and Steelers fans. “Cowboys suck!”, most would say. “1-15!” , others would shout.

20 years and 3 Lombardi trophies later, the father and son from coal country are still fans of America’s Team. Although, incredibly, neither of us has ever been to Big D. That all changes starting tomorrow when my pops and I make the pilgrimage to Texas for the weekend to take in the game live at Jerry World come Sunday!

Totally psyched. If you are interested in checking out pics and thoughts on a first timer’s trip to Dallas/Ft.Worth/Arlington, you can follow me on twitter @juanblaze.

On another note, it only took me until week 7 of the NFL season for a blog post. To all my readers, I’m very sorry I’ve been away for all these months and I sincerely apologize…to both of you.

To make up for it, I will be dropping an all new Podcast on GUFS beginning this Wednesday. It’s funny and almost informative. Make sure you check back for that, and a lot of other cool things here for the second half of the season.
