    Obviously good advice but doubtful he'd see it that way, called youth, can never see your own death

    And while we are on the topic, what would be the solution to devastating head injuries in football? Violence is part of the game, but what could be done to reduce life threatening injuries to the head?

    If you, I mean anyone, hates the Cowboys, there is noting I, or the fans, or the owners, or the players can ever do about that!

    Haters are going to hate!

    I know for a while Jerry Jones picked up BAD BOYS off of the wire, like Terrell Owens for example- to help us win games.

    And he has made a lot of mistakes like firing Landry and all that, but he has corrected a lot of his ways and now owns the largest Franchise in Sports history!

    As for Peter Gent, his novel was an intentional Black-Balling of the Dallas Cowboys or even the sport of Football, for personal reasons.

    I mean, even his best friend Don Merideth didn't exactly agree with his assessment of himself, or Peters, or the Dallas Cowboys in the film. I remember he said something like, "If I had known Peter was as great as he said he was in the film, I would have thrown even more to him"!

    But, let's give Gent some credit for cleaning up the league! Every team in the league saw themselves in the movie, that was already 15 years too late BTW!

    I'll never forget Gent, as he is still a big football star round' these parts to all the old fans!

    I don't feel anything about the Cowboys, just another NFL team, like anyone of all of them

    I did thought get sick of hearing that Dallas was America's team back in the day, like the Rose Bowl was promoted as the granddaddy of them all

    It's almost impossible for a pro NFL player to miss even one extra point. But 4? Yeah.. something was definitely up.

    We mature. I can remember when New England became the new Dynasty, and I must admit, for years I hated them, their coach, and Tom Brady- UNTIL I realized, I WAS ONLY JEALOUS OF THEM. Today I only admire them all, and realize we all have our hey days- and more power to them when they do. They just make everyone build their teams to beat the dynasties using everything they can learn from them in the process.

    Things change, and I don't believe 3 years ago, any of us would have picked the same teams in the playoffs today to be here.

    They are matched up quite well and it would be difficult for anyone to say who is the better team!

    Some things just have to be played out!

    I am just going to say, that the team who makes the fewest mistakes, on SUNDAY, will probably win.

    Just one stupid mistake by either team could lose this game!

    I think there is really nothing can be done about unintentional injuries, but I think for illegal hits, severe fines are warranted.

    Do the collars some wear help? I’ll have to research.
