The headline reminds me of a story from the distant football past.
In 1985 Anthony Dickerson was traded from the Cowboys to the Bills. I remember reading about it in dallas paper. It went something like this:
Sad day in Cowboys locker room. Guys stopping by his locker. Shaking heads and handshakes. Someone died, or someone got traded to Buffalo.
was particularly sad for my brother. Anthony was his favorite player. He even had his own nickname for him. Kick 'em in the Dickerson Anthony.
years later he adopted Steve DeOssie and dubbed him Steve " Make 'em De-Izzy" DeOssie.
