RIP to Mt. Vernon's finest.

"Turn out the light, the party's over."

For anyone else this would be mockery, but for Meredith it's appropriate given his famous croon.

RIP

A true Dallas Cowboys legend.

Aw that's so sad. Watch any old specials on the early Cowboys and you'll find out what a tough guy this man was. Even Howard Cosell loved him. They broke the mold with Don!

Walt was on TV just last night telling the story of the team flight when it had a malfunction and everyone thought they were going down...with everyone freaking out .."Don calmly took a drag off his cigarette and sipped his scotch and said...its been a good one".

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Can not begin to say how sad I am over this. One of my all time favorite Cowboys.

I haven't seen Don in an interview or anything else in more years than I can remember, but this still feels like the loss of someone that is a constant presence. I would have expected to look back on him with fondness when he died, but this feels a bit like a kick in the gut. Maybe the fact that he stayed out of the public eye for so many years kept me from seeing him age and recognizing his mortality.
