DeAndre Jordan Makes Mavs' Fans Mad in a Whole New Way

The problem isn’t the Dallas Cowboys. It’s Dallas Cowboys’ fans.

As in, everybody loves ‘em. Turns out even bad people can root for good teams.

It puts us Mavs’ fans in an awkward situation. For years we’ve despised LeBron James. For “taking his talents” to Miami. To mocking Dirk Nowitzki’s cough in the 2011 NBA Finals. For being the best, but least humble basketball player on the planet.

But on NFL Sundays we’ve become bizarre bedfellows, both rooting for America’s Team. But now, the company just got unbearably creepier.

I was nervously watching the game Sunday night when all the sudden another Mavs’ villain reared his ugly head via Twitter.

Let’s Go!!! Hell of a game fellas … #boyz

Sure enough, that Tweet came from … DeAndre Jordan.

I’ll pause a second while you fetch your barf bag.

Sorry, but we don’t want DeAndre Jordan to ever be happy. Much less about something we’re busy being happy about. In fact, knowing he’s a Cowboys’ fan almost makes Mavs’ fans hope the Cowboys lose just so DeAndre Jordan isn’t happy.

I want him to miss every free throw he ever takes.

I want his DirecTV to go out in a thunderstorm right as the movie he's watching reveals the murderer.

And, yes, I want everything he wants to win, to lose.

Dirk Nowitzki loves the Cowboys. Mavs’ fans love the Cowboys. DeAndre Jordan can’t possibly love them too.

He was born in Houston and went to college at Texas A&M. To me that’s a Texans fan. Right?

Here’s hoping DeAndre Jordan does what he does best – changes his mind, flip-flops allegiances and starts rooting for a California team.

I hear the Raiders are available.

A native Texan who was born in Duncanville and graduated from UT-Arlington, Richie Whitt has been a mainstay in the Metroplex media since 1986. He’s held prominent roles on all media platforms including newspaper (Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Dallas Observer), radio (105.3 The Fan) and TV (co-host on TXA 21 and numerous guest appearances, including NBC 5). He lives in McKinney with his wife, Sybil, and two very spoiled dogs.
