(In John Facenda vocce)
Now in the season of burnt grass and simmering heat that rises from the 50 yard line comes the first taste of the NFL season
When the man-childs of summer practice and autumnal endeavour rush headlong into a new season of sweat, study, exertion and exhaustion
As the preseason beckons, we get a first sense of the start of a new season
Exhibition we call it
Preseason the men of the inner sanctum of NFLdom say it is
But preseason is when we recall past triumphs and the sad what ifs
Some what ifs in the season of renewed hope and a tantalizing tinge about the heroic, vernerable and mythic game of fall and winter:
1 What if Jimma had stay on as HC?
2 What if Brandt/Schram had not negotiated the deal with Seattle for a kid named Dorsett?
3 What if Jerra Jones had bought the 'Boys franchise 5 years earlier?
4 What if Parcells had matured emotionally and not come to Dallas with a need to manipulate players?
5 What if Jimma had taken over 5 years earlier?
6 What if Billy Cannon had flourished as we all thought?
7 What if Jerra had intervened and gotten Mandarich before Aikman?
8 What if Jackie, beloved Jackie Smith, had caught the ball?
9 If that sickening last second throw by a smirking Montana had somehow tippled upward and out of reach?
10 What if Chan and Campo had never happened after the last Super Bowl
fire away, gents!
There must be tons of what ifs, including the first owner bypassing Landry to
Jerra sticking to oil and gas
