You might not call them "America's Team," your friends might not call them "America's Team" and maybe not a single person you know would call them "America's Team," but make no mistake, the Dallas Cowboys are clearly "America's Team."

How do we know this? Follow the money.

According to a Harris Poll last month, the Cowboys are No. 1 among adults who follow professional football. (The Colts, Steelers, Packers and Bears follow).

And you thought the Patriots were America's Team? What have they done lately, besides win three Super Bowls in the last six years and go undefeated so far this season? (Yes, the Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl since 1996).

But this "America's Team" thing, it's all about the ka-ching.

The NFL Shop, which is the NFL's online merchandise store, lists the Cowboys first in memorabilia sales, ahead of the Bears and the Steelers.

Well, not lately, but they are on their way.
In the meantime, even though they havent gotten the ring lately, they still have the ka-ching of America's team.

The number one quarterback on America's No. 1 team, Tony Romo

There is no 'Americas Team' anymore. Any attempt to make a quick buck is exactly that.

The Yankees don't refer to themselves as the nation's team. But they are a major draw...whenever they come to town, attendance shoots up.

Well Empire you have a point. Cowboys have been been referred to as "Americas Team" long before the "make the buck" syndrome took over. Nowadays it's just as you say, any way to make a quick buck.

I just find it funny that for years Dallas was mediocre and there was no talk of 'Americas Team.' Now that they have had a great start to the season, the talk resumes after so many years?

If anything, it's good PR I guess.

Make 'em love you or make 'em hate you, just make sure they're talking about you. That's exactly what the America's Team moniker does for the Cowboys.

To me they have always been Americas Team through it all, dark times and light times. I'll always pull for them just like I do the Wildcats.
