Laura Hansen, 2013-11-05 An extensive collection of intimate accounts from average citizens and celebrities alike, reflecting on John F. Kennedy's assassination for the fiftieth commemoration of the tragic event November 22, 1963 -- any American alive that day can pinpoint exactly where they were when they heard that President John F.

| dallas cowboys practice facility address: Chronicles of a Dallas Cowboys Fan John Eisenberg, 2012-12-10 For sportswriter John Eisenberg growing up in Dallas in the 1960s, the NFL's Cowboys and their concrete Cotton Bowl stadium loomed larger than life. It mattered little that these were not the perennial Super Bowl contenders or the celebrity-driven assemblage of later years. While wins were scarce, there was no lack of characters to capture a boy's imagination. In his moving account, Eisenberg revives that simpler time in American life and visits with a number of his humble Dallas Cowboys heroes today, finding as much to admire in them as men as he did as athletes. Originally published in 1997, now available in eBook format for the first time, and updated with a new Introduction. Formerly entitled COTTON BOWL DAYS: GROWING UP WITH DALLAS AND THE COWBOYS IN THE 1960'S. |

| dallas cowboys practice facility address: Forgotten Sundays Gerry Sandusky, 2014-04-22 Forgotten Sundays is the coming-of-age story of a father-son relationship and the value of a good name, which Gerry Sandusky knows all too well. He has had to endure having an unfortunate name in sports, but to him the Sandusky name means something entirely different: honor, integrity, endurance, and suffering and sadness. Forgotten Sundays follows the life and relationship between Gerry Sandusky and his father -- former NFL tackle John Sandusky and coach for the Baltimore Colts, Philadelphia Eagles, and Miami Dolphins under the tutelage of legendary Coach Don Shula. Gerry spent his summers observing his father in NFL training camps and his Sundays with superstars, Hall of Fame players and coaches from Johnny Unitas to Dan Marino, from Don McCafferty to Tom Landry. Gerry's relationship with his father evolved through stages of worship, disillusionment, vulnerability, tragedy, and friendship. Along the way he learned about the nature of manhood from observations, clues, and interactions -- more often than not unspoken. It was when Gerry reached fatherhood himself and when John Sandusky began to tumble into the gauzy confusion of Alzheimer's disease that he began to understand his father on a much deeper level. Heartfelt, intelligent, at times humorous, at times tragic, Forgotten Sundays explores the intricacies of a father-son relationship and the nuances of how and what a son learns from a father. It plumbs the meaning of a family name, and it is an inspiration to others to embrace their own legacy and cherish their memories. |
| dallas cowboys practice facility address: A + A = F H. F. Cotton, 2009-07-22 I wish someone else had written this book, but no one has. It may be ironic that I entered the public schools as a teacher and a coach in the same year (1959) that C. P. Snow wrote The Two Cultures. I certainly did not perceive the two roles as being in conflict, nor did I see them in that sense for much of the twenty-five years I served as high school principal. As a coach, I won a state championship (1961 Massachusetts High School Ice Hockey Championship); and as a principal, I was named Administrator of the Year (1971–72) by the National Association of School Counselors. During my time in the public schools, I did many of the things I will argue in this book should not be done. —From the author’s preface |
| dallas cowboys practice facility address: The Last Cowboy: A Life of Tom Landry Mark Ribowsky, 2013-11-04 “An eloquent, honest tribute to a sports genius.” —Publishers Weekly, Best 100 Books of 2013 As the coach during professional football’s most storied era, Tom Landry transformed the gridiron from a no-holds-barred battlefield to the highly-technical chess match it is today. With his trademark fedora and stoic facade, he was a man of faith and few words, for twenty-nine years guiding “America’s Team” from laughingstock to well-oiled machine, with an unprecedented twenty consecutive winning seasons and two Super Bowl titles. Now, more than a decade after Landry’s death, acclaimed biographer Mark Ribowsky takes a fresh look at this misunderstood legend, telling us as much about our country’s obsession with football as about Landry himself, the likes of whom we’ll never see again. |

Legends of the Dallas Cowboys takes an in-depth look at some of the legends who have shaped the Cowboys’ identity, beginning with Tom Landry, the man who was hired before Murchison had been awarded a team and who is still the franchise’s enduring image. Also included is Tex Schramm, under whom the Cowboys had twentystraight winning seasons and who is considered the most forward-thinking NFL executive ever, as well as Randy White, Ed “Too Tall” Jones, Bob Lilly, Lee Roy Jordan, Mel Renfro, and more. Also included are innovators such as Bob Hayes, who forced the creation of the zone defense, and Michael Irvin and Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson, who forced the creation of behavioral clauses in contracts. Each of the legends played his own unique role in shaping the lore of one of sports’ greatest franchises, a franchise that began humbly on a winter day in Miami and is now a model of success. |

On the field, the men who play football are gladiators, titans, and every other kind of cliché. But when they leave the locker room they are only men.

Running on a mixture of painkillers and cortisone as he tries to keep his fading legs strong, Elliott tries to get every ounce of pleasure out of his last days of glory, living the life of sex, drugs, and football. Adapted for the screen in 1979, this novel, written by ex-Dallas Cowboy Peter Gent, is widely considered the best football novel of all time. |

King uses her life, in vivid essays, as a microcosm, to share stories of white boys and men she encountered in racial episodes and everyday dramas that are familiar to readers on both sides of the racial aisle. GUS is King's acronym for book, which is full of experiences inspired by some of the men King met in Jasper, a part of East Texas that King had negative childhood memories of. King redefines her own life and does it with candor, humor, honesty and balance. GROWING UP SOUTHERN isn't about throwing the race card. Instead, it reshuffles an old, outdated deck. |
