Lions Fan, I don't hate Dallas. Some Dallas Fans make my head explode but I guess life would be less entertaining without them.
I feel better.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

No, and I don't think he will this year. Cowboy fans have to keep up the faith this year.
As far as the op's question. I'm still pi$$ed off on the bad DPI called in the 1979 SB when Lynn Swan ran up Charlie Waters back and they both went down.
That call did cost Dallas the game. Dallas had the lead and it was 3rd and long with 2 mins. to go.

As usual I got the name wrong.

Yes, I remember it well~people say the refs call too many ticky tack penalties NOW, this was back in 1979 and it would be a questionable call today, let alone in 1979. In fact, it led to a rule change regarding incidental contact. From ESPN web site:
Super Bowl XIII: Pass interference or incidental contact?
Cowboys cornerback Benny Barnes was called for pass interference after Steelers receiver Lynn Swann ran into him while trying to catch a pass. The play led to the NFL's rule on incidental contact.
Cowboys tight end Jackie Smith's drop of a would-be touchdown pass might be the most memorable play of Super Bowl XIII. But for those Cowboys, the most maddening play was a pass interference penalty called on cornerback Benny Barnes to set up the touchdown that gave the Steelers a two-score lead in the fourth quarter.
With 9:05 remaining, Pittsburgh receiver Lynn Swann fell to the ground after running into Barnes while trying to chase down a deep ball. Seconds later, a flag came flying from the middle of the field thrown by field judge Fred Swearingen after the official closest to the play made no call.
The play prompted the NFL to create the incidental contact rule months later. But it resulted in a crucial 33-yard gain for the Steelers and a bunch of curse words from the Cowboys.
"Swann ran right up my back," Barnes told reporters in the locker room. "When I saw the flag, I knew it was on him. I couldn't believe the call. Maybe [Swearingen] needs glasses. Maybe he was for Pittsburgh."

Another play that mad me PUKE is "The Catch" by Clark that knocked us out that year.
We had the lead....not much time left....Montana was running for his life from a jailbreak Dallas "D". To avoid the loss Montana tried to throw the ball out of the end zone, but didn't get it high enough and Clark got to it. Montana didn't even know Clark was there!!!!
That was the "ONLY" SB I didn't watch.......TOOOOOOOOOO PI$$ED OFF!!!!! We would have beat Cinncy easy and would have 6 SB's and Danny White would have a much deserved ring.
