That Smile.
He was the first home-town Dallas boy to ever grow up and be a Dallas Cowboy. He was a Super Bowl co-MVP. He logged more sacks than any Cowboy before or since.
Odd thing is, I didn't remember those things until I saw them in the paper. When I think of Harvey, I just always see his smile.

MEMO : 12.09.01 : [NOTE TO ST. JUDE]
If the Cowboys win every remaining game and everybody else in the NFC East loses every remaining game do you think maybe the Cowboys could squeak into the playoffs where Anything Can Happen (tm) and they could win their way to the Super Bowl?
I mean, mathematical impossibilities aside, could you work on this, please?
Thank you.

Go ahead, gloat :
From the Dallas Morning News : Cowboys No Longer No. 1
"The Dallas Cowboys are not the No. 1 seller for NFL properties any more. That honor now goes to the Oakland Raiders. . . Dallas is No. 2, followed by Tennessee, Minnesota and Green Bay. "

Redskins ain't on that list, are they?
Have a great weekend.

Ask priest, do Episcopalians make confessions? Do they get forgiven for killing annoying people? Do they still get to drink the margaritas?

I think I need a "sycophant sign up here" button, just so I can acquire "people" and be surrounded by suck-ups.
That's what every writer needs, I think.
MEMO : 12.03.01 : You know what I love?
I love reading the Washington Post the day after the Cowboys whoop the Redskins' collective ass.
Because there's nothing more gratifying than seeing the home town paper rip the Redskins a new one. I mean, really, when their players are saying things like this guy Shade said: "To be honest, I feel like these guys feel like they can beat us any time, any where. It [ticks] me off. I don't even want to talk about it."
When they say things like that? It just warms my heart.

Q : "How do I get an agent?"
A : "You keep cold calling people until you find one who is a Cowboys fan. (You will know he is a real agent when you find out later he lied, he is a Raiders fan.)"
