Now God Can Watch Practice

            The hole in the roof of Texas Stadium was left so that God could see his favorite team – the Dallas Cowboys. That’s what they told us my rookie year as a Cowboy  in 1972, the first full season the NFL played in Texas Stadium on our way to becoming America’s favorite team too!

            Texas is wonderful in so many ways and nothing interested me more than the legends and sayings handed down by those tough determined people who continue to settle Texas today.

            Texans are tough hombres. Leonard Elmore has to be a fan of the Texas Rangers. Not the Nolan Ryan MLB Rangers; the REAL Texas Rangers. I will never forget when Russell and I visited The Texas Ranger Museum in Waco, Texas. The visit left me with a sense of just how tough Texans are.  The people heading west could have continued on to California!

            Only time will tell what tales will be told about the day the roof collapsed on the Dallas Cowboys. Even tough hombres recognize the hand of God. Now God can watch practice.

            EVERYBODY GET WELL REAL SOON!!!
