The Dallas Cowboys host the New England Patriots on Sunday, marking the AFC franchise's first trip to the Dallas-Fort Worth area since 2007 and its first visit to AT&T Stadium.

Here are some of the best memes we found ahead of the matchup. Let it be known that the Internet does not deflate -- er, disappoint.

I actually like the one of BB disguised at the Bills team meeting.

The rest aren't funny

 

[Tony2046]

Some those are pretty funny.

They forgot one more thing (though it would be against their own industry).

Those that believe everything the media reports is true (with confirmed facts). When did it change from "news" to media (honest question because that will be an indication when facts stopped being relevant +2 years -- don't let the math hurt you, basically saying the change should have occurred sooner as news became more opinion based before the change in terms occurred).

and to follow-up my media point, this article (though I only need to go about halfway down) explains the media's dominance and the minority "voice".

I chuckled at the first one. It's a new era for smacktalk. Even if there was a stage to clear the pats' name on deflation it's too ingrained in the social consciousness to change.

What is it with the dallas media/players having to use Tommy's family (wife/son) for trash talk? Really? They are as classless down there as their joke of an owner.

That one and the Tom Brady's son's birthday party made me LOL. The rest are dumb. I hope Brady sees them and runs up the score even more ;-)

LOL

Rick Gosselin's take was much better.. but what you expect from the azzclown convention??

Yup, so were the other columnists.

The football people paid much respect. THIS stuff is from the lifestyle/entertainment fruitcakes (which comprises 90% of the "Cheaters! And what is a clipping penalty? " population.)

 

[patriot lifer]

I think most of them are funny--can't take entertainment too seriously.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Wow, it's like they went to every Facebook post about the Patriots and just copy and pasted every top comment from the comments section. The BB one was pretty funny, the others are tired out already. Same old stuff

My lone Dallas buddy has been texting me all week about today's game. The guy is the most normal, practical, level headed, non-confrontational person I know.....and every sentence in every text starts with..."The cheaters......"
The battle for the minds of the rest of America has been lost. Roger has won....31-1. This is what Israel feels like during United Nations votes.

Yea it's actually kind of weird. Maybe I'm naive, but I expect those kinds of endless "cheaters" and *s to come from division rivals, Colts, Broncos, Ravens, Steelers fans, etc but...random NFC team #7 and random NFC team #13? Why do those people give a ****? If for example, the Vikings were perennial winners since 2000 with 4 Super Bowl victories and the same baggage of Spygate and Deflategate, I would really not give a ****. Cool, they might've beaten my team 3 or 4 times over the course of 15 years. Who gives a ****? Ehh, guess everyone likes being a part of the majority.

 

[Nikolai]

I bathe in haters' tears.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Bah -- click bait generated by college freshmen intern "producers. " The curse of metrics. Not to be confused with Gosselin/journalism.

 

[nabwong]

Pretty funny. But the deflation of the Cowboys will be funnier.
