As a Cowboys fan, I know what you mean. It would have been sickening to see Roger Staubach or Bob Lilly in another uniform. Of course, all the players you loved, I hated, but that was part of what made it cool. The rivalry wasn't just one team logo against another. Those guys knew each other. The original L.T. was a nightmare, but if he'd gone to another team, it wouldn't have been the same.

Even before the cap, dealing players was common, though. I remember Giants fans having a conniption when the Giants traded Fran Tarkenton to Minnesota. One of the reasons Bill Walsh quit the 49ers was because he wanted to trade Montana and management wouldn't let him. This was after Montana had won his third Super Bowl. Walsh also traded Ronnie Lott when he had quite a few years left.

BTW, congratulations to the Giants. It's an NFC East thing, but whack those Pats! A lot of Texans are rooting for you guys.
