When ESPN Radio host Colin Cowherd unveiled his list of the most delusional fan bases in sports, he surely lost a few listeners.
Give him this much: It's an intriguing topic.
For Dallas Cowboys fans, however, it touches a nerve. The Oakland Raiders faithful might feel the same way. Tim Tebow loyalists: Your ears are ringing.
Cowherd's assessment of Dallas echoes what critics have been saying for years, perhaps unfairly: "The owner (Jerry Jones) is your general manager (and) is sort of a running joke in the league. One playoff win in 15 years. I like Dallas more than most, but that's a delusional fan base," he riffed, via The Dallas Morning News.
We adore you all. We're just passing this one along. Deal with it.

- Chicago Bulls
- New York Knicks
- College basketball
- Big Ten football
6. Oakland Raiders - Dale Earnhardt Jr.
4. Dallas Cowboys - Penn State football
