The term "one of a kind" certainly fits Don Meredith. Jeff and Hazel's baby boy as Meredith used to say was Texas to the core and lived life carefree.
Now that "Dandy Don" has left us the tributes are pouring in and many are as entertaining as Meredith himself.
Dale Hanson reflects on Meredith's life including a great story from Cowboy great Cliff Harris (Thanks WFAA-TV)
Current Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett remembers Don Meredith. (Thanks Dallas Morning News)
Dandy Don's signiture was signing "Turn Out The Lights" on Monday Night Football. Two years ago when Meredith's jersey was retired by his alma mater SMU a 70 year old Don Meredith sang one more rendition.
Rest in peace Dandy Don, the party has just begun in heaven.

Dale Hanson sits out for one story after Dress Code violation
This is silly, but it made us laugh. Dale Hansen of WFAA-TV in Dallas is one of our favorite people. He never lacks for opinions and has no problem sharing them. We've often used clips of him talking about his team...the Cowboys along with some other things Dallas.
So, in light of that, we enjoyed seeing his take on the Cowboys fining RB Marion Barber for a dress code violation.
Enjoy the Video (and you need to watch the whole thing). Thanks WFAA.com:

UPDATING: Wade Phillips Is Still Fired
((HT: WFAA-TV))
Wade Phillips spoke, in paper form, after his dismissal Monday afternoon...
“I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the fans of the Cowboys and to the entire Jones family for all of the support that we received here in Dallas. I would also like to thank our coaches and players for their loyalty and dedication.
“I told the team today that I have been proud to be a part of their family, and that will never change. I have enjoyed the privilege and responsibility of representing this franchise as its head coach.
“I am disappointed in the results of this season to this point, but I am also very proud of what our team and our players accomplished in the previous three years. In good times and difficult times, our players stuck together and never lost hold of their belief in each other and the strong team bond that they have shared. Family and coaching football have always defined my life and I will always be grateful for my experiences here with the Dallas Cowboys.”
Jerry Jones held a 5:00 eastern time press conference on Monday afternoon at Valley Ranch...
"Obviously, this is a very difficult decision for me, our team and our organization," Jerry Jones said. "We're grateful to Wade and his contributions to the Cowboys leading us to two division titles in his first three seasons with the club. We're not where we want to be at this time, and that's an understatement."
"An in-season coaching change is something that I've not done before; it's something that I was reluctant to even consider as late as this past week," Jones added. "But at this time, I believe in what's the best interest of the organization and the fans is a coaching change."

Only Hansen Can Get Away With This...
And Delkus is always there to be the foil...
In the "biz," there's always a face and a heel...
Dallas Sports Director Dale Hansen has been a lovable heel to the Metroplex...
He is, what we refer to, as an "untouchable." He is such a lightning rod that anything he says can and will be used against him, but he can never be fired. The public backlash would outweigh any insular benefit and/or satisfaction from his superiors at WFAA-TV.
Here's his latest with Delkus... something to do with calendars, cheerleaders, and... well, we'll let him tell you...

Dale Hansen Speaks His Mind
It's about something silly, like journalism
And he's right...
Here's his commentary, thanks to our friends at WFAA-TV in Dallas...
Hansen's commentaries are always required watching- for one reason or another. He's either right, wrong, crazy, or crotchety- sometimes it's a combination of all of the above. Sometimes it doesn't even take a commentary to set him off...
Here's a thought Hansen had on Adam Jones...
The HQ stands behind Hansen for a change, even if we can't read his signature...
He's one of the last who can do no wrong, and when he does, he's still somewhat untouchable. WFAA would catch the butt end of the wrong end of the world if they even think about sending him home.
Good for him...
