OK--so the Dallas Cowboys aren't playing in this year's Super Bowl. However 2011's game could be considered a Home Game for da Boy and will , be played about 15 miles from me. Hey, I can put my prayer in early! As I script this, the game hasn't started yet. I decided to cheer for the Saints. After all the City of New Orleans has been thru and continues to go thru, I'd like to see the Saints hoist a Lombardi Trophy. So, no Dallas Cowboys today, but a Dallas Cowboy is headed to Canton and the Hall of Fame:Emmitt Smith aka Dancing With the Stars Champ. The RB who broke the late, great Chicago Bear Walter 'Sweetness' Payton's all time rushing record, will join teammates Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin. These teammates were known as The Triplets.
Won three Super Bowls in the 90's. Shoulda been at least four. I admit, I'm still bitter about Jimmy Johnson's exit--although it is in the long ago past. Where did the time go? Seems like yesterday I was at Super Bowl parties to root da Boyz onto victory. I remember at one party I smoked a cigar...don't ask.
Any way, I gotta get set to watch the game. And I'll smile as I recall Triplets leading the way--and come August, they'll be together again. Congrats, Emmitt!
GO Saints!
