No CAR?

[DangerousR6]

I saw the "No CAR" topic and thought somebody was picking on a drummer. arty07:

I got to say I hate the Cowboys and most Cowboy fans I've met. So Arrogant and full of themselves. They definately fit the Jerry Jones mold. Self proclaimed America's Team. What a joke. They are loaded with talent but their owner is keeping them from being sucessful. Wade Phillips is a joke. He was the ass end of the Dan Reeves regime. It's obvious Shanny had the brains in that outfit. Get a real coach and let him coach and the Cowgirls would be just fine.

FWIW I personally could never jump ship. Die Hard Orange and Blue.

I can say I'm frustrated at times with the Boy's, but I'll never jump ship. Cowboy's fan thru and thru..And we are not "self proclaimed" as America's Team...

"The term America's Team is a popular nickname in American sports that most often refers to the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League.[1] The nickname originated with the team's 1978 highlight film, where the narrator opens with the following introduction. They appear on television so often that their faces are as familiar to the public as presidents and movie stars. They are the Dallas Cowboys, "America's Team."

And the Cowboy's are the most popular team in the NFL, like it or not that's just the way it is... :headbang1:

Did you already know this or did you have to Google it to contradict me? Funny how that's the only point you could argue though. The team should have went along with Tom Landry and not used it. It shows a lack of class. So do all the druggies and criminals that played for them. Through all the fanfare Texas Stadium was a huge pile of shit with horrible turf and a roof that looked like it hadn't been painted since they were dubbed America's Team. Dude you know your town is full of fair weather fans. I can't tell you how many supposed Cowboy fans I knew started wearing TD or Elway jerseys back in 98. I remember seeing Bronco jerseys for sale at JC Penney and WalMart in Dallas back then That stuff doesn't happen here. People paint their houses Orange and Blue and eat Eddie Mac'n'cheese for dinner and drink Orange Crush.

I saw "No CAR?" and would only add that I just got a Jazz bass with matching HS in this very color and it is spectacular.

 

[JaySwear]

and it is spectacular.

yeah it is! wow. the more i see the more i love this color. almost looks like warmoth's is slightly more bright than fender's. looks perfect!

yeah. america's team is only "america's team" as long as people are jumping on the bandwagon. i think the bandwagon is finding itself pretty empty at this point. they could still pull out a big season, but they've got to work hard for it now. and wade phillips will never be bum phillips. thats for sure.

having said that, warmoth's candy red is EXACTLY what i'm looking for :icon_biggrin:

Yeah, sorry D6 - gonna have to agree with everyone here - the Cowboys are a laughing stock, always will be - even with (and despite of) their "vaunted history". "America's Team"... it cracks me up, its such a friggin joke.  :laughing7:  The rest of the country doesn't care about how the Cowgirls got the moniker - but I know anyone not in Texas just points and laughs. Its like you guys suck so bad, the only desperate memory you can hold on to are the days of yesteryear (read: DECADES ago). The new stadium is lipstick on a Texas-sized pig. I remember last year how the "incredible" defense and "explosive" offence were supposed to make short work of the Vikings on their way to the NFC title game. "America's Team" produced a whopping THREE points. I don't know which was funnier, watching Romo constantly running for his life or watching your coach turning purple on the sidelines. Screw a Superbowel, make it to a Championship game, then you can do something other than stare at your feet in shame everytime some poser mentions the words "America's Team". And I won't even mention Cowgirls fans... that'd be another 3-4 paragraphs...  :laughing11: :laughing8:

Back on topic, Telecasters still suck.

That is all.

Yeah I didn't want to bring it up but before my Broncos fell apart last season Champ punked dem Boys arty07:

AHHHH....Jay reminds me.......Who needs Mike Shanahan or Gary Kubiak anyway?????  My old coach and backup QB only put on one of the best offensive showings in the history of the game. Dammit. :dontknow:

 

[drewfx]

Personally, I don't think CAR goes with any of these team colors.

 

[stubhead]

There's kinda a...HUGE, GARGANTUAN problem with trying to fix any team by buying up superstar players, and that is, they've used up their knees, their back, their HEALTH in the climb to be a superstar. By the time they're worth ten million a year, they're, ummm, not WORTH ten million a year anymore. Old Dan Snyder is just maybe starting to sniff around that fact, after blowing through umpteen mil - Neon Deion Sanders? By 2001 he'd already burned through six baseball teams & took the Cowboys for 50 million dollars. When he was on his star tour with the Redskins, he'd walk around the field laughing at the other players - like, "You really expect me to RUN? And HIT people? Hahahahaha!"

These guys were all winning football coaches - as long as they weren't working for Daniel Snyder. It remains to be seen how Snyder is going to screw up Mike Shanahan, but starting with 70-year-old QB McNabb and an offensive line that essentially seemed to HATE their own quarterbacks is a good way to start.  :dontknow:

i don't think 0 and 0 should count as a winning record.

yeah, they sure do seem to hate mcnabb here in DC :icon_scratch:

we love him. we've gone through QB's like most teams go through special teams players. we're tired of getting our ass kicked by him, and now he's ours. and we left philly with a huge QB controversy since reid wants to use the lesser of their two QBs. philly fans are NEVER happy, but i can assure you that everybody in DC is loving having mcnabb right now. including (probably especially) the offensive line.

Blah, blah blah...
Pabloman....the Bronco's suck worse than the Cowboy's, what they got 2 super bowl wins, and it took Elway 15 yrs to get to a superbowl...Come back and talk to me when they have more than 5..
And I already knew about where the "America's Team" quote came from...

Seeing this, I had to chime in, despite the fact that I don't particularly care about pro sports (especially football). This kind of specious logic among sports fans really bugs me. Who cares how many championships your team has won in the past? What exactly does that prove? Isn't their current performance the only thing that's important? Hockey's Montreal Canadiens are a prime example: the team has won 24 championships in the last 101 years, a fact that fans obstinately cling to, regardless of its relevance to the current conversation.

A typical exchange with a Canadiens fan goes something like this:

"Welp, looks like the Habs won't make the playoffs this year."
"Hey, they've won 24 Stanley Cups!"
"Um...so?"
"How many does your team have?"
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"24!"

And so on. But no one cares about hockey, and I'm bound to get a lot of flack for my opinion, so I'll shut up now.

Go team!  :doh:

Sorry Jay, didn't mean to hijack your thread....

That candy would look sweet on a tele....Go for it... :icon_thumright:

haha it's fine. two things i like in one thread. arguing about football and guitars! plus that dallas stars fight song was awesome.

got a question though... if i got the custom routed for a tele humbucker bridge, could i put a regular tele bridge overtop? just in case one day i decide i need a real humbucker in the bridge. i would think i should be able to, but didn't know if the humbucker route underneath would be too wide for a regular tele bridge to cover?

a couple pictures to get back on topic. this is the guitar that really inspired the one i want to build. it's not candy apple red, but it got me thinking pretty hard about a red custom. and damn the ashtray looks good! i would try a trans red too, but i think warmoth's trans red might be too dark for that. plus a CAR tele just looks right.

 

[pabloman]

Come on Dangerous. I was wondering how long before you pulled the we used to be good card. I'm not arguing about how great my team is. We need help. It's obvious. All I was saying is Bronco fans are better than most of the Cowboy fans I met and there are certain things about the organization I don't like. Which by the way still can't argue those points because it is all true. We fired your head coach like 15 or 20 years ago. you know a cowboy fan has no more arguments left when he brings up the stars. The AVs didn't need a corny pantera song to kick some ass. I'm sure you remember those great games.

A Candy Apple Red custom Tele (weren't the bound ones called Custom teles?) is a gorgeous thing. Get a humbucker in the neck!

Only up til the early seventies, when the Deluxe came out. At that point, the Custom was a half-way model. It featured the controls of the Deluxe, a Wide Range HB in the neck, and a stock Tele bridge. Keith Richards uses one on and off. Look for the Les Paul layout.

""Custom Telecaster" introduced with body binding, sunburst finish, and three layer celluloid mint green pickguard. The first few models have a peghead logo the same as a regular Telecaster. Then a gold spaghetti peghead decal reads "Custom Telecaster" (not Telecaster Custom!), with the model name lettering slightly bolder than a regular Telecaster. Earliest Custom Telecaster date I have seen is 4/59, but there are rumors of some early 1959 Custom Teles with a regular "Telecaster" (instead of "Telecaster Custom") peghead decal."

[JaySwear]

just going to throw my question out there again (hate to start a new topic just for this one thing)

anybody know if a traditional telecaster bridge with pickup would cover up a humbucker route if i got one in the bridge? i would only really do this if the screw holes on the two bridges lined up. that way i could swap them later if i decided the tele bridge pickup just wasn't for me. i also wouldn't be a big fan if the humbucker route was too wide and showed a bunch of the routing next to the bridge. anybody know? i can try calling warmoth on monday, but i seem to have really bad luck with questions when i call them
