This one I'm putting under antidotes because it made me laugh.

In response to the Dallas Cowboys woes of late, one fan has taken it upon himself to withdrawal his loyalty to the team, and give it to the highest bidder--literally. The man put his allegiance up for grabs on eBay recently, offering to "begin rooting for, and become a die hard fan of , any NFL team of the winning bidder's choosing. "

Hmm... I wonder what I can get for my fan loyalty? I need the money...

That said, the auction should deftly illustrate the general sense of estrangement and alienation felt by a great deal of fans--and aside from that, it's kind of funny.

The guy does a solid job in the product (read: his loyalty) description in recounting the numerous transgressions on the part of ownership over the past two decades, from Jerry Jones' handling of Tom Landry, to his all-too-proud stance with respect to Jimmy Johnson, to the thirteen-year playoff drought, by which fans are still maligned.

The Cowboy's history, though, is a bit better than some other teams. When was the last time Detroit won the superbowl?

Quote :

What's more, half of the winning bid will go to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure foundation, a world-renowned charity aimed at raising awareness of, and a cure for breast cancer.

Well, that makes it even more worthwhile, doesn't it?

Here's a link to the auction. two bids so far, both a whopping one cent!
It comes with a seven-day money back guarantee as well!
