Not yet; time will tell.

I have not watched a single NFL game in my (European) life so far - I can still be swayed.

Mavericks maybe, although I moved here too late and missed Dirk Nowitzki.

Tragic;  the NFL on Sky Sports is fantastic.  Good British NFL commentary is almost as good as the Youtube videos of bad British NFL commentary. 

I'm a big fan of the idea of adopting the local sports teams of a city that one moves to, provided the move was because you like where you move (so, pretty much the opposite of my move to Los Angeles a few years ago ... and my previous move to Los Angeles ... and the one before that). 

I've kind of done this in the opposite order, eventually deciding to root for teams associated with the city where I will probably move when I retire.  I may have picked a good time because two of their teams (one in a sport I actually watch) have won championships since I made this decision, one of whom is playing for another championship tonight.  

You just moved to Dallas because you like the area and it serves the needs you moved for.  Now is also probably a great time to start rooting for the Cowboys, in a "buy low" sense:  they haven't had much success in a while, but the post-Jerry era is nigh. 

This is probably straddling the border of off-topic, though, since your goal in the move was golf, not football.

Great point and that's what I considered, too. I already checked tickets for Cowboys and Mavericks games in the upcoming season (I am a big NBA fan actually).

Speaking of golf - recently the PGA relocated its headquarters to Frisco near Dallas.

It is interesting that you have a team rooting retirement plan 😉

    • I hear you, that price is ridiculous. I’ve been dealing with AS pain for a recently, and it really messes with your game. I tried everything—painkillers, stretches, you name it—but honestly, cannabis helped me more than I thought. It didn’t take all the pain away, but it eased the stiffness and helped me move more freely, which is huge for golf. I could actually swing without feeling like my back was gonna snap.  
    • Day 245 (4 Jan 24) - Colder blustery day (temps in the upper 30’s), so I opted to work with the 7i in the back yard, hitting 30-40 yds pitches.  Stayed within pre-shot process and working smoothly thru downswing and ball.  Nice easy day reinforcing short game work in the pitch and roll arena. 
    • Okay, so like 5-6 years ago a buddy of mine and I are playing golf in Nevada. Not a tournament, but we're betting 20 bucks a side. I don't think this actually affected the outcome but I'm curious how you all would have ruled this.  We are playing a hole in which on one side of the concrete cart path is the grass on the other side is rocky, desert. My buddy hits his tee shot which comes to rest on the other side of the cart path under a prickly ugly bush. He's right handed but he turns his 7-iron upside down and addresses the ball left handed, with the club upside-down. Then he says "I get relief because I'm standing on the cart path."  "Okay" I say.   Then he drops the ball (from the shoulder as this is pre-2019) on the "good" side of the cart path within 2 club lengths no closer to the hole.  I believe he should have had to hit from the crappy side of the cart path, by dropping the ball within 2 club lengths no closer to the hole.  My contention is the nearest point of complete relief is in the desert. His contention is as long as it's within 2 club lengths no closer to the hole he can drop anywhere he wants. Who's right?  Okay, now the kicker. He declares his ball in play. Now admittedly it is less than 2 club lengths from where it came to rest and isn't any closer to the hole. Then he addresses his ball (7 iron again) right handed this time and declares he gets relief again, because he's standing on the cart path. ... Which he is.  He drops again, and now he's on the fairway, not even in the rough.  So, with two drops and no stokes he's moved from under a bush in the desert, to the rough, to the fairway.  Here's a picture which may help.   So he hits his 7 iron on the green. No penalty. I guess he may be right, but it's always felt shady and we've poked fun at each other over this incident for years now.  What do you all think?
