Ed "Too Tall" Jones

[john van brocklin]

I remember he said that the real reason he took off a year from the Cowboys was not related to boxing , but for another reason, that would come out in a book.

I don't ever recall the book, or the reason.
Anyone know the answer ?

And yes Hostile, I am looking at you as resident Cowboy historian !

Please come out of retirement and comment !

Thanks in advance

Well, he did box that year.

Here's an audio with Mike and Mike last year's SB time frame: http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=7531662.

I thought there was a History Zone on this forum, am I mistaken, can't seem to find it ?
