BTW, I hope you didn't mind me snagging your sig pic (well Juke's) it was just too awesome to pass up.

"Jerry Jones is a billionaire fan who bought his own team for the express purpose of buying his way into the game. He wants to hang out with the players, stand in front of the cameras, be the face of the team (yech), make personnel moves as if this were a video game, and more than anything else, be seen as the guy who made it all happen."

The audio was pretty cool. I didn’t really know him personally but he seemed like a nice person that everyone respected. My thoughts go out to his friends and loved ones.

I didn't exchange but a reply or two with Cbz40 over the years, but the guy was First Class. He was always upbeat. You will be missed big guy. God bless the Parkhill family.

Not at all...anyone is welcome to it.

Ya know, knowing Cbz, he'd even let Redskin fans in...well, maybe after giving them a bit of a hard time...

ok, I'm blown away by this.

all of you didn't know this, but Weldon was actually a Family friend of ours in Denison, Tx. He was neighbors and friends of my uncle, Dad, and grandfather. He was a musician and played with my Grandfather and uncle in his younger days. used to be over at their house all the time.

I just emailed my Uncle to let him know. I know this will be a big blow.

this is not what I wanted to read this morning. RIP

I've not been in a position to post anything since this sad news emerged. Very sad. This was a man who knew the truth of the words "A soft answer turns away wrath." His classy behavior was always a reminder of the need to check emotions, to consider carefully any urge to lash out. He was a man who knew, obviously, that all of these avatars, all of these nicknames -- there are people behind every one. There are people with hopes, dreams, responsibilities, loved ones.

In an Internet forum, it is easy to forget the flesh and the blood. It is easy to forget the need for civility. It is easy to forget there are men and women.

I didn't know this man at all, but I knew he had a big heart, and I knew he was a gentleman. He showed those characteristics, every day, in a forum in which it is so very, very easy to be otherwise.

His death leaves a hole that won't be replaced. I hope all of us keep him in mind any time we start to post something harsh or lacking in civility and grace.

That would be the ideal tribute.

I agree with Sally (that would be Juke). Any stories you can dig up on Pops and share with the board would be wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

There is no formula for success except an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.

Sorry to hear this news. Rest in peace Cbz.

I never knew you, but I feel as though I did. Your posts were filled with class and a touch of that southern hospitality and a southern drawl that always made me smile. I just knew you were an exceptional fellow who loved all.

I will miss you and your dedicated passion that we all share for the Cowboys.

That's pretty cool. I can only imagine he was a wild man back then.
