Football is getting closer…Last two days we have had articles in our paper on the Cowboys. I love football, love Alabama football, New Mexico Lobo foofball, Mountain West football, but I really love Dallas Cowboy football…The world stops when they play…I am not as bad now as I used to be…At least I will now talk to my wife some during the game and she will even watch a close one with me, sometimes!!!!…I heard some guys talking the other day about how long they had been a fan and I mentioned that Eddie LaBaron was the quarterback when I started following them. They said, “Who”….Eddie LaBaron, all 5’6” of him. Remember that he had to loft the ball to get it over the on rushing linemen, 1960 – 62…But he was a gritty guy….Before retiring I worked some events that lineman Randy White also worked, several years running. I have two pictures, autographed of course, of him. It has been two or three years ago, but even then he looked like he could walk on the field and play just anytime they needed him….Who is your favorite…I have so many it is hard to pick just one, Stauback, White, Meredeth,Aikman, Newhouse, Dorsett, Johnson, Perkins, Harris, Waters, Lilly, Jordan, Novack, Smith, Irvin, Garrison, Reeves, Hays, Hill….oh, gosh, the list goes on and on, not to mention Coach Landry…I wish you guys would take a little time and name your favorite cowboy, if you have one….Please notice that I did not include the current crop of “Boys”….Some of them will make it to great status one day also…I can name three on offense and a couple of defense right now that will be among  the greats, if not already….Let me know who you liked…..Pete Hester
