"Dandy Don" Meredith passes away at 72
I'll be honest, I wasn't a Cowboys fan growing up. As a military brat who spent a fair amount of time overseas, there just wasn't an attachment to any pro team. But having adopted the Cowboys while living in the Dallas area, I quickly came to know about Dandy Don. The first quarterback for the franchise, signed before Dallas actually even had formal approval for an expansion team. A star at SMU (who spurned Bear Bryant and my Aggies). He played all of his home games throughout his entire football career within 100 miles of Dallas (high school, college and professional). Booth-mate with Howard Cosell. An old relic from a bygone day.
Turn out the lights, the party's over ...
