Lombardi's Left Side

Finally got through the book.  Very interesting revelation by Adderley about how he was treated by Landry in Dallas.   Makes our wins over Dallas over the years when Landry was in Dallas coaching the Cowboys even sweeter!!   Jerry Jones was no dummy firing Landry after taking over the Cowboys ownership.  Surprised Landry is held in the esteem that he is. 

After recently reading CLOSING THE GAP and LOMBARDIs LEFT SIDE..........it shall be stated that Lombardi was a pioneer with respect to integration/diversity in America (not just football or a great football coach).  Lombardi wrote the book on it, and 55 years later society is still grappling with it.........getting better but still grappling with it.

 Note that it was Dave Robinson who blasted in from the left side to smother Meredith and force the game ending INT for the 1966 championship.
