Nov. 16, 1970
Cotton Bowl |
Don Meredith, in his second year of retirement from the Cowboys, returned as a rookie color commentator for ABC "Monday Night Football," hoping to see his old team shine. Instead, it was the Cowboys' darkest hour. Dallas suffered its worst home shutout ever and fell to 5-4.
Thousands of fans look up to the TV booth and chant, "We Want Meredith!" Dandy Don grinned sadly and said, "No way you're getting me back down there."
