Dallas Cowboys fans frustrated by a dozen years without a playoff win now have a place to vent their anger.
Well, another place in addition to the radio, internet, signs at the games, and drunken phone calls to Valley Ranch, of course. Cowboys fans don't really keep their feelings a secret.
There's a petition at Fire The Cowboys GM.com where Cowboys fans can ask owner and general manager Jerry Jones to... well, fire himself.
In Jones' defense, the site does make a clear distinction between the successes of Jones as an owner, and the horrible recent track record of Jones as a general manager.
There have been plenty of other sites calling for the firing of coaches and general managers before. As soon as your school hires Blackbelt Jones, somebody in a dorm room somewhere puts down the bong and logs onto GoDaddy to register FireBlackbeltJones.com.
However, this is the first time that I can remember a fanbase has mobilized to ask someone to take one for the team and commit seppuku.

I doubt this petition is going to go anywhere. A man owns a team, he can do what he wants with it. If they don't like him, stop going to the games.
