    Although I did used to like it when Jimmy Johnson often said on their way to 3 Superbowl wins in 4 years... " how 'bout them Cowboys!".

    I just thought if we had to have a 2nd name, Bulldogs sounds better than Town or Rovers or Athletic lol.
    Hahahaha!! It's weird, that's one of the biggest differences I've noticed between American sports and UK/Europe sports. America places a pretty strong emphasis on having a good 2nd name and it's referenced EVERYWHERE. Compared to the UK/Europe, where it's much more of an afterthought. Very interesting!
