Some of my most painful memories as a kid were the few times we had a lead on the Cowboys late in the 4th quarter only to go into a 'prevent' defense -- which of course prevented us from keeping the lead. I hated the Cowboys back then but had great respect for Landry (who as you know was a Giant) and Staubach. Even the rest of the damn team just oozed class. Jones, Johnson, Irvin, et al. did change that. All that being said, they aren't nearly as hateable now because they simply don't dominate in any manner. But I have respect for Jerry Jones who, while misguided at times, wants to win and is willing to spend.

I was hoping to procure original photos for all three of Landry's Bowman football cards while he was with the Giants - have '52 and '55 so far. Still need '51

While this thread is still up, let's get some early predictions for next year's Super Bowl, my pick:

Seattle vs. Kansas City

Winner - Seattle becomes the first back to back champs since the Patriots 10 years ago.

I had more fun watching Puppy Bowl X for 2 hours before the game.
Damn.. Joe (Namath) is wearing a jacket made of warm fuzzy puppies.
