Farewell Dandy Don

The sad news came down Sunday, December 5th, Dandy Don Meredith passed away at the age of 72. Born in Mount Vernon, Texas Meredith was a very accomplished athlete gaining All American status as a quarterback for SMU in 1959, moved on to the NFL as a third round pick by Chicago Bears who then traded him to a young Cowboys franchise for future draft picks. It is an amazing fact that Dandy Don played high school, college and pro football only in the State of Texas...specifically North Texas. He also had a successful career in broadcasting and television/movies. Here is a video clip that is fitting in saying farewell.
