“1 year ago, the word out of Dallas-Fort Worth was ``The Boyz are Back.'' After Sunday's victory over the San Francisco 49'ers, we know that the Cowboys are ``Here to Stay.'' In recent years, Super Bowl champions have come and gone. In fact, many teams have struggled to even make the playoffs the year after they win the Super Bowl. With a tougher schedule, injuries and complacency to overcome, defending champions have often folded. However, the Dallas Cowboys showed what they were made of this season. They overcame all of these obstacles and more to return to the Super Bowl and defend their title. At the beginning of the season, with Emmitt Smith out because of a contract dispute, the team was 0-2 and sports writers across the country were having a field day with the demise of yet another defending champion. Undaunted by the challenge and with Emmitt Smith back in the lineup, the Cowboys quickly sent notice to the rest of the league that they were not going to fold by winning 7 straight games and 14 of their next 16. They accomplished this despite injuries to Pro-Bowlers Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Mark Stepnoski, and Ken Norton. The Cowboys have shown the character of a true champion this season and we in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are very proud to call them ``Our Team.''”
