    Loved the stories, Ira.

    I grew up reading the Dallas sports writers.
    Here is one of my favorites:

    Blackie meanwhile edited the Morning News sports section and wrote his popular column and Gary specialized in the pro football beat. In 1965 the Cowboys were trying to stop being a woeful expansion franchise. That fall in Dallas, with time running out they were one yard away from upsetting Cleveland’s then-mighty Browns and their dominant runner Jim Brown. Don Meredith, the dashing quarterback and past SMU heartthrob, dropped back and threw a pass over the middle straight into the brisket of an astonished Cleveland linebacker. He was ordered to throw to a spot where a Dallas receiver, not the linebacker, was supposed to be. Coach Tom Landry made the call but let Dandy Don take the fall. In the press box Gary began his story with a nod to an apocalyptic verse in Revelations: “The Four Horsemen rode again Sunday in the Cotton Bowl. You remember their names: Death, Famine, Pestilence, and Meredith.”
    Dandy Don was wounded, but in practice that week he calmed the Dallas players who wanted to take some hide off Cartwright. “Just doing his job,” Meredith said of Gary. They remained friends the rest of Dandy Don’s life. The last time he called Gary, it was just to sing him a pretty song.

    Excellent show Steve and Ira! Loved the interaction between Joe and Ira! Two veteran columnists comparing memories from a different era of sports coverage. Steve did a marvelous job at moderating as well!
