Felisha loves the Dallas Cowboys. Her cousin, Eddie, doesn’t. Felisha is trying to convince him that they are going to win the Super Bowl this year. Felisha states:
“The Cowboys are ‘America’s Team’ for a reason. They have a long history of winning games. They have a huge fan base. They are one of the best teams in the NFC East division this year.
