Hubby became interested in the Cowboys because of my family, possibly. He was living in the Dallas area so it was kind of natural. My aunt was the Executive Secretary to one of the associates of Clint Murchinson. My family had Cowboy stickers on our cars in 1961 when few folks were paying much attention to the football team.
The attention level ramped up pretty quickly. Eddie LeBaron was the first quarterback. Dandy Don Meridith was the next starting quarterback followed by Craig Morton. The following years brought names like Roger Staubach, Danny White, Tony Romo, Troy Aikman, and the current starter Dak Prescott. Other less known names are scattered throughout the lineage. The quarterbacks may be the leader but without folks like Bob Lily, Lee Roy Jordon, Mel Renfro, Chuck Howley, Bob Hayes, Emmitt Kelly, Jethro Pugh, Charley Waters, Too Tall Jones, Randy White, Jason Whitten, and the list goes on and on the quarterbacks could do little.
At this moment the Cowboys are not in a good place. Of course, there are still two quarters to play so anything can happen. Such as the punt kicker just was hit. Roughing of the kicker penalty gave the ball back to Dallas. And so it will go for the rest of the day, no matter the teams that are playing.
Take care and be safe, y'all,

ReplyDeleteYeah, business... so much so that 'my' ball game of choice, Rugby Union, is no longer on free-to-air television. I refuse to pay over and above the compulsory (and costly) licence fee we already have to pay here in the UK. Thankfully, the snooker masters was on this week... but for how much longer? It used to be that sport was that exactly; a matching of skills and fitness between members of the community and enjoyed by supporters. Now it is for the land of the gamblers and cliques... YAM xx
At Thanksgiving our son was thinking about going to the Cowboy game. Standing room only tickets were $175 for standing room only tickets. Sometimes I think football in particular is little more than like the fake wresting matches, all show. namaste, janice xx
DeleteI prefer winter sports like biathlon and speed skating. Neither of them nclude a ball anywhere. Mind you, curling can be quite addictive, which is almost like bowls ow would that be taking it a bit far?
ReplyDeletebut it was nice your hubby got to hang out with son and grandson.

I can watch the games but it is not a passion for me. The only time I see curling is usually in the Olympics. It is entertaining to watch. hugs
