Prepare for Randomess...


Buckle up Zooites. We're going deeply personal. As loyal listeners know, I am a devout Dallas Cowboys fan. My boys were playing our hated divisional rivals the Philadelphia Eagles last night and I disgustedly went to sleep with the score 20-7 Philly late in the 4th quarter...
Well I woke up, flipped on ESPN and was amazed to see the Boys came back HUGE to win 21-20...but this is deeper than that folks.
Coach Parcells, aka The Tuna is the Coach of the Cowboys...he buried his younger brother earlier in the day. His brother, Don Parcells, died at the age of 62 after losing a battle to brain cancer..."Don Parcells was a retired banker and military veteran. He played football for Army, and served as a captain with the 25th Infantry during the Vietnam War, receiving a Purple Heart."

"He is my closest brother and I love him very much," Bill Parcells told the Star-Ledger two years ago. "We're 20 months apart, age wise. He is one of the closest people I have in this world."

Don Parcells wore the Number 31 when he played for Army...

Now it gets weird.

Dallas was trailing 14-20 with 2:43 left to play. They had just scored a miracle touchdown in the face of a ferocious blitz. Eagles QB Donovan McNabb was playing well but threw an ill-fated pass directly to Cowboys Safety Roy Williams...Williams ran 46 yeards for the go-ahead touchdown which ended up being the winning touchdown...

Williams wears #31...

Stay Naked.
