    I needed to correct it for the record, I don't want anyone to be misled by bad info.

    Stars and Strife

    The competing Skip Bayless book was "The Boys" (1993), not "Hell Bent" (1996).

    "Coin Toss"

    This painting graced to cover of the Oct 21, 1950, issue of the Saturday Evening Post, so it cannot be the Cowboys.

    Stars and Strife

    Fans may remember that Skip Bayless got wind of Fisher's project, and he decided to author his own book about the Cowboys, "Hell-Bent" (1996). He rushed it to print to beat Fisher's book to bookstores, and he did indeed beat Fisher's book by about three months. His book covers much of the...

    Two great number 43's

    It's interesting that Randy White apparently was not concerned about being assigned #54. Maybe he didn't know that had been Chuck Howley's old number, or else he didn't care. And as a first round draft pick, I doubt if Eskridge teased him that he wasn't gonna make the team!

    Sea Foam Green pants

    With all due respect to Mike McCord, he wasn't the equipment manager in 1964 (that's the year switched to wearing white at home) so he has no idea of the real reason for the change. Negating the Texas heat is a plausible theory, but that isn't the reason. Anyone who's read much about Tex...

    9-8-64 Mystery Cowboy

    Sep 8: Do you know me? I was waived on this day in 1964. It was with great expectations that I was taken in the second round of the 1963 draft as a future pick. I had a disappointing rookie season, where I didn't take a single snap. Detroit claimed me off waivers, but I was out of league by...

    Robert Lavette

    Sep 8: Happy 52nd birthday to former Cowboy Robert Lavette (RB: 1985-87, b. 1963). Lavette was drafted in the fourth round in 1985, but he was never able to dislodge the two guys ahead of him on the depth chart: who?

    Ken Bishop

    Sep 8: Happy 25th birthday to current Cowboy Ken Bishop (DT: 2014-15, b. 1990). Bishop was activated for last year's playoff game against the Packers -- who did the Cowboys cut to make room for Bishop?

    Terrance Williams

    Sep 8: Happy 26th birthday to current Cowboy Terrance Williams (WR: 2013-15, b. 1989). In 2014, Williams finished fourth in receptions behind which three Cowboys?

    Jack Crawford

    Correct!

    Erik Williams

    You're right that Williams was not quite as good as he was pre-car accident, but he was still good enough to make All-Pro in 1995.

    Dick Bielski

    The "relationship" is not familial. Bielski was the Colts kicking coach when O'Brien beat the Cowboys in Super Bowl V.

    Jack Crawford

    Sep 7: Happy 27th birthday to current Cowboy Jack Crawford (DE: 2014-15, b. 1988). The Cowboys 2014 schedule allowed Crawford to play in the city of his birth; where was he born and which game was played there?

    Erik Williams

    Sep 7: Happy 47th birthday to former Cowboy Erik Williams (T: 1991-00, b. 1968). Williams made All-Pro the season after his car accident and knee surgery -- true or false?
