    Stephen A. Smith Has Brutal New Nickname for the Dallas Cowboys After Week 2 Loss

    By Kevin Borba,

    The Dallas Cowboys were absolutely embarrassed by the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, and while they have many enemies across the league, no one loves the fact that they lost more than ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.

    To kick off ESPN's "First Take" on Monday, Smith seemed highly eager to rub some salt into the wounds of Dallas fans after the Cowboys' 44-19 loss to the Saints. Before going off on their defense later in the show, Smith decided to crown the Cowboys with a new nickname that their fans likely won't appreciate.

    He referred to them as the "Allas Cowboys" because of their poor showings on defense.

    "Howdy," Smith said with a grin during the show opening. "How do you do on this beautiful Monday morning? You know Shay Shay (Shannon Sharpe)...Let me tell you something right now. I just pulled out a map, you know, and I was looking because somebody told me there was a city in Texas called Allas, Texas. Allas , Texas. I said 'Where is it? I never heard of it.'

    "And then I spotted it at AT&T Stadium yesterday. All you gotta do is take the D off of Dallas and there ya got it. The Allas Cowboys. The Allas Cowboys no D whatsoever!"

    While this may seem harsh, the Cowboys found themselves getting torched by the Saints as soon as the game started. New Orleans scored a touchdown on each of their first six possessions, and Dallas' defense didn't show any signs of life until a fourth-quarter pick when they were down 22 points.

    Saints quarterback Derek Carr finished the game 11-of-16 for 243 yards, while notching two scores through the air and one on the ground. As for the Saints' rushing attack, they ran wild.

    Alvin Kamara finished the game with 20 carries for 115 yards and three touchdowns, while the team as a whole rushed for 190 yards and four scores.

    The Cowboys have now lost two consecutive home games, dating back to last season's 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round. It's certainly not a streak they'd want to keep alive, but they will welcome an angry Baltimore Ravens team to town next week, which may make it challenging to end the home-losing skid.

    Steven an and his ilk have made hating the cowboys into some kind of demented sport. They treat the boys like the republicans treated the obamas.

    Stephen A. Smith is just a dick with ears! Probably hates himself too.
