I cried the evening following Dwight Clark's historic touchdown catch in San Francisco in January of 1982. I did the same following Alvin Harper's equally big catch in January of 1993 in another NFC Championship Game at San Francisco, albeit for a very different reason. No, I haven't seen it all concerning Cowboys' history. I can't help the fact I was too busy training to become a Jedi Knight while Roger Staubach was winding down-but I did catch on once I realized that all attempts to make a light saber would ultimately fail.Īmerica's Team was losing ''the force'' but they were real life each and every Sunday-take way a few Mondays and Thanksgiving, provided I could stay awake after eating too much turkey before the game. The United States was founded by men who realized that royalty wasn't the way to go. In that near-extinct, old-world government, you either had a good king or queen-or not. Well, the Cowboys represent the NFL's best version of a familial dynasty. As a citizen or fan of that kingdom, decide for yourself where exactly you fall. Here's the scoop: Cowboys owner and general manger Jerry Jones is your king.
