Dallas week, I think of old number 72, prize bull, Dexter Manley.

He understood it.

It meant more to him than most.

He was defending the home turf.

And he didn't talk about it.

He performed at the highest level in it.

World Grant, the cover of Sports Illustrated,

in the game that is one of the pure highlights for all fans that bleed burgundy and gold.

If you think of your top five moments in burgeoning gold history,

there are a few marks that are higher than the marks that were achieved within this rivalry.

The fans, that's what it's all about.

You don't have the cowboy clays, the Derek Davis,

is the boys, guys of the world that have been entrenched in cowboy lure.

Clarence is a dear friend of mine,

and I personally watched him contaminate his children

and deny them the access of being pure with burgundy and gold.

I couldn't overrule it because they're his children, not mine.

But I witnessed this up close and personal.

That's his right to do, as many of you probably have done.

And then we all know if I ask you right now to give me your top two moments within this rivalry.

I guarantee you eight to the nine will be one of them.

Diren Talbert will be involved in one of those.
