The Cowboys flag is retired for the year. I may break it out again in April if they have a good draft or make a big free agent pickup to excite me.
Probably a good move. Did you see that Irvin got past over for the Hall of Fame? Marino and Young were the 2 new era picks. No argument from me about the Marino pick, but I was hoping Irvin would beat out Young. I think he would have made it in his first year if he had kept his
nose clean.
But seriously though, 8 superbowl appearances, 5 superbowl wins, and only 5 players in the Hall? Of course Emmit and Troy should go in on the first try. I know Irvin was just another stupid jock, but I always liked the guy, and he has paid a price. I can't think of any body who gave more effort than he did.
The one thing that will make it hard to root for the Eagles tomorrow is remembering the Philly crowd the day he played his last game. Now there's a classy bunch.
