Right, but it's the ungrammatical aspect I'm wondering about. Legolas Send a noteboard - 05/10/2009 03:49:50 PM
Kind of like saying "how about that weather". If you live in Boston and the Red Sox are doing good you might say "how about them Red Sox".

In this case it is simply mocking and gloating. Very likely caused be years of watching his team lose to the Cowboys so like most small people he gloats and chuckles when the better man stubbles. Petty but I guess some people just need someone to hate.


As in, where did the habit of saying "them X" instead of "the X" or "those X" come from.

It was basically the slogan of the Cowboys when they got good again under Jimmy Johnsons coaching. Joel - 06/10/2009 12:53:03 AM 717 Views
Okay... I suppose you did answer the question, somewhere deep down in that whole thing. Legolas - 06/10/2009 01:24:22 AM 631 Views

I hope they can do as well against .500 and +.500 teams. PLEASE beat the Chargers! *NM* Joker - 05/10/2009 07:13:45 PM 210 Views
Dallas was above .500 coming in, now 2-2 (.500 exactly). Bengals are 3-1 (.750). Both Denver wins. TaskmasterJack - 05/10/2009 08:06:41 PM 459 Views
