28 years ago, I went to see my first NFL game. But before the game my father took me to the Marriott Hotel where the Dallas Cowboys were leaving from to go to RFK stadium.

I saw several buses lined up a few cabs. And then these men larger than life. John Dutton, Ed “Too Tall” Jonesnn Tony Dorsett all walked out of the hotel lobby onto the team buses.

Then an older gentleman with a fedora and a briefcase came out. I couldn’t believe it. At that moment there was God, Jesus and Tom Landry. It was not even a minute of my nine year old life. But I will never forget meeting Tom Landry on September 5, 1983.

Dallas won that game on a 4th Quarter comeback 31-30. A rookie by the name of Darrell Green played his first game. Howard Cosell called Redskin receiver Alvin Garrett a “little monkey” diring the ABC broadcast.

Landry and Green both are enshrined in the NFL Hall of Fame. But that nt my dad became first ballot hall of famer!!!

Parents remember NOTHING you do or don’t do is small to your child. Some things just standout more than others.
