Dallas Cowboys/Expert Profile

Expertise

My particular expertise is Dallas Cowboys history from 1960-1988 (the Landry era); I'm also a Cowboys book fanatic (I have almost 300 different Cowboys-related titles), and I also collect Cowboys football cards (but stopped in 93). But I am not an expert in the value of cards or collectibles – so please don't ask.

Before you ask: "So-and-so" almost certainly DID NOT PLAY for the Cowboys -- trust me! Before you ask me, ask the guy for proof!

Finally, I DO NOT ANSWER “PRIVATE” QUESTIONS! My work requires research, so the results must be made public.

Experience in the area

I had a Cowboys webpage recognized around the Internet as the authoritative list of Cowboys links, and I have a Cowboys book collection second to none (approx. 300 titles). In addition to my book collection, I have every Cowboys media guide back to 1960, which makes researching questions much easier.

Education/Credentials

Associate in Accounting, Austin Community College
BS, Physics, University of Texas at Austin
MBA, St. Edward's University

What do you like about this subject?

I've been a Cowboy fan all my life; I like answering questions and helping other fans.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I'd like to be recognized as an expert who was willing to help people and share information.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

The reason the Cowboys wear white has nothing to do with a "jinx" on the blue jerseys. And the Cowboys did not name themselves "America's Team". That came from NFL Films in 1979.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

The question I get most often is: did "so-and-so" ever play for the Cowboys? I can tell you already: the answer is (99 times out of 100): NO! If anybody claims that, ask them for proof. That goes for "former coaches" too -- if you haven't heard of the guy, he's probably faking it.

Chayse: I'm really not an expert on collectibles like this, so you might want to ask my friend and fellow Cowboys expert Duke Ha to give you a better answer. If you want to establish a value in order

"Value" or "worth" are very subjective things when it comes to collectibles. And I'm really not an expert on collectibles like this, so you might want to ask my friend and fellow Cowboys expert Duke Ha

Michele: The Cowboys use two different shades of blue: on their home white jerseys, the trim is royal blue (PMS 661); on the road blue jerseys they use navy blue (PMS 282). I hope this answers

Darryl: I am not aware of any traditional cards of Dennison; he does have a team-issued 5x7 photo which was generally used for publicity and autograph purposes. You can find team-issued photos on eBay

Karyn: "Value" or "worth" are very subjective things when it comes to collectibles. And I'm really not an expert on collectibles like this, but in my opinion, any collectible is worth whatever
