I can remember it well.
With apologies to John Facenda of the frozen tuna comment:
The faux Parisian décor and lux carpet and fake renaissance painting and whatnot
In my uncle's living room as we gathered to watch the cowboys.
Fabled cowboys. Headed to destiny and stuff.
Jackie Smith had the ball in his stomach and his big hands and arms would cradle the football to glory.
Jethro Pugh is bulldozed on the line, and the legend of Lombardini is solidified in grey ice and snow.
On a sunny California day, Deion Sanders mugs Michael Irvin on a long sideline pass and no flag was called. And ol Gimme was in tears near the Orange County bar bereft of familiar faces.
On a frigid Sunday, our resident emotional player, big on stature but middling in team stats, catches a ball but told he didn't. Worst case scenario. We get the ball on the 1.5 yard line. And then score. late. in. the. game.
Gimme say: I half see the glory. And I half seen the lowlights. My workaday friends, tell me which pierced yo hearts more? Tell me what game turned ugly, like pam oliver in a rainstorm, or Hillary Clinton first thing in the morning or Tavis Smiley working out or John Boehner's inner thoughts. Ugly.
here are meine heartbreaks.
1. Ice Bowl sneak into the end zone
2. Jackie Smith drops the ball
3. Dez's "catch"
4. Landry's "No Danny, No Danny No!" play. I forget the specifics but it was probably no good.
5. Irvin is interfered with by Deion in the NFC playoff game.
holla
