The Dallas Cowboys: Lost in the Super Bowl Shuffle?
How long has it REALLY been since America's Team last hoisted the Lombardi Trophy?
Hold on to your hats, folks, because this one might sting a little (or a lot, depending on how die-hard you are). The last time the Dallas Cowboys ruled the Super Bowl roost? A whopping 29 years ago! Yes, you read that correctly - 29 YEARS!
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
That's right, since January 28th, 1996, the Vince Lombardi Trophy has been to Dallas about as often as a winning lottery ticket (sorry, Cowboys fans). Think about it this way: a newborn baby in 1996 would be pushing 30 by now, maybe even have a kid of their own. That's a whole generation growing up without ever witnessing the Cowboys reign supreme.
QuickTip: Pause before scrolling further.
Is there any hope for the future? Well, that's a question only Jerry Jones' checkbook and the future generation of Dallas hopefuls can answer. But hey, at least they've always got next year, right?
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.

Fun fact: The average lifespan of a housecat is around 15 years. That means a feline friend could have been born, lived a full and happy life, and crossed the rainbow bridge...all since the Cowboys last won the Super Bowl. Just something to ponder while you contemplate the vast emptiness of the Dallas trophy cabinet.
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
Here's to hoping the future is brighter for America's Team. But in the meantime, maybe fire up some highlights from the glory days and reminisce about the good ol' times. Just try not to cry too much single tear for Troy Aikman's mustache.
