Ohh, I have some doozies...
1. Wasn't too impressed with a not-so-swift running back out of Florida. I didn't think we made the best choice possible with the 17th pick of the 1990 draft. The first two games of the the following season - vs. SD & NYG - were blacked out in Dallas, so I didn't get to see Emmitt until the Commander game at RFK. I remember thinking he was pretty good, but nothing special.
That all changed Thanksgiving Day when Washington came to town.
2. As the '84 season opened, I just knew Gary Hoogeboom would be the next great Dallas quarterback. He was fabulous in the opener against the Rams. It lasted for about a week.
3. I would have bet the farm that a wide receiver hailing from a school named Mississippi Valley State would prove to be insignificant, to say the least. And I told everyone just that. Because, after all, Willie Totten ain't coming with ya to the show, Jerry.
And there's plenty more where that came from.
Stay tuned tomorrow for when I 'fess up to my fascination with Alexander Wright as he would most definitely make up for that first-round mistake.
