I recall it was on a Saturday. Living in Metro Atlanta, I turned on the 11pm news. When Landry's passing was covered, the news anchor stated that earlier that afternoon\evening Tony Dorsett was in town as part of an HBCU awards program I believe. A reporter covering the event was informed by his station about Landry. When interviewing Dorsett, the reporter told Dorsett about the sad news. Tony was so stunned. He tried to talk about how great a coach and a man Landry was- but he so overcome with emotion that he was just uttering partial statements and thoughts. It was a very sad thing to watch.
