OWN YOUR SHIT

Taking accountability with an abuser in an abusive relationship is the first step to recovery. After another “One & Done” post-season performance at AT&T Stadium this January the name is quite fitting. Get used to it Cowboys fans. Wear it with pride. Not every team makes the postseason. But when we do we’re “One & Done.”

Heading into this fall it's time we embrace the “One & Done” that the “Other 31” love to label us as. Where’s the lie? Well, in January 2019 I went from the DFW one week, to LAX the next. Just to lose the divisional round Vs Rams. Two seasons ago we defeated Tom Brady and then were embarrassed by the Niners in the divisional round the following week.

Outside of those seasons, we are what the record says we are. Notoriously known for bowing out in the first round it's time we take ownership. Wear the “One & Done” brand with pride this season. Accountability brings power with it to Cowboys fans. Own your shit!

Admitting to fault is the first step to recovery from an abusive relationship. Now it’s time to set BOUNDARIES with America’s Team next. How will you create yours, or will you…
