Cowboys.com now gay dating site, due to Dallas goof
By Peter Mucha

A Web domain let slip by America's Team is now dedicated to (mostly) gay dating.
Welcome to the new Cowboys.com, a "online dating community for men."
Are you a country western cowboy looking for a man to ride into the sunset with?" the home page asks. ". . . You'll be able to find your perfect match here."
Holy Brokeback Mountain, Batman.
Those who sign up for free, can send a "wink" to "a member of your choice," according to the FAQ. "It is a quick, fun way to let someone know you're interested."
Those who purchase a gold membership - $50 a month, $144 for six months - can send an email.
"As many states continue to pass gay marriage laws with the support of President Barack Obama, Cowboys.com will be well positioned to take advantage of the continued growth in the gay dating sector," declared the Baltimore-based owners group in a news release last week.
"We will also serve the needs of straight daters as well," said Darren Cleveland, head of City Advertising, a Florida-based ad agency that's part of the owners group.
The National Football League's Dallas Cowboys had a winning bid of $275,000 on the domain name back in 2007, but, according to the news release and a Domain Name News report, a mixup kept the deal from being completed.
Sort of like some fourth-quarter Tony Romo passes.
