Rest iN Peace Coach Joe Avezzano Of The Dallas Cowboys

Joe Avezzano, who won three Super Bowl rings as a Dallas Cowboys special teams coach and was known for his engaging personality, died Thursday in Italy. He was 68.

Avezzano reportedly was working out on a treadmill when he suffered a heart attack. He was recently hired as the head coach of the Milano Seamen of the Italian Football League.

Avezzano was the Cowboys' special teams coach from 1990 through 2002. He was named the NFL's special teams coach of the year three times during that span but wasn't retained when Bill Parcells took over as coach in 2003.

He worked for Barry Switzer for four seasons with the Cowboys, including the franchise's last Super Bowl title season. When Switzer thinks of his old friend, football usually isn't the first thing that comes to mind. Switzer thinks of Avezzano strumming a guitar and belting out country songs.

"Joe would rather have been a country western music star or on-stage performer than a football coach if he had a choice," Switzer said. "Joe did a great job coaching, was highly ambitious and a hard worker, but Joe always thought he could sing. I got a kick out of that."

Switzer laughed as he recalled a party he hosted after a Cowboys game once that included Charley Pride and a couple of other country stars as guests. It didn't take long before the music started, with Avezzano right in the middle of the group.

"They were all over there pickin' and singin'," Switzer said. "That's what Joe loved to do -- pick and sing. That was his passion."

Avezzano served as head coach of the Arena Football League's Dallas Desperados for the next two seasons after leaving the Cowboys before a three-season stint as the Oakland Raiders' special teams coach. He also was Oregon State's coach from 1980 to 1984.

Avezzano remained a popular figure in Dallas-Fort Worth. He worked as a radio and TV analyst and owned Coach Joe's Hat Tricks, a bar and restaurant in suburban Lewisville.

"Joe Avezzano was a very special part of our Dallas Cowboys family and our organization's history. He was also a wonderful father, husband and friend," team owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. "No one enjoyed life more than Joe, and no one that I know had a greater appreciation for the people that he loved and the lives that he touched. ... He was an original. There was no one else like him."

Avezzano is survived by his wife, Diann, and his son, Tony

DIRK Reaches Out To Romo & Lends His Support After Sundays Cowboys Lost

from yahoo sports

Tony Romo(notes) may be losing supporters by the week in Dallas (and then gaining them right back the next week), but one fan who won't abandon the embattled Cowboys quarterback is the town's other big sporting star, Dirk Nowitzki.
The 2011 NBA Finals MVP sent out the following tweet on Monday morning, the day after Romo threw two late interceptions in the Cowboys' 24-point collapse:

Nowitzki suffered through years of criticism after stellar regular seasons were followed by subpar playoff performances and early exits. When he led Dallas to its first NBA Finals appearance in 2006, he played a pivotal role in blowing a 15-point lead that would have put the team up 3-0 in the series. He was an MVP, a perennial first-team All-NBA selection and the best player in the team's history yet he couldn't shake that label. It wasn't until Nowitzki and the Mavs won the NBA title in June that the "Dirk as choker" topic finally died out.

It's nice of Dirk to give indirect advice to Romo through his 294,000 Twitter followers, and the underlying sentiment is one the Cowboys quarterback should remember: Win a title and everybody will stop talking smack.

Sad News Ex Dallas Cowboy Godfrey Myles Dies From Heart Attack @ Age 42

from yahoo

Sad news for fans of the mid-90s Dallas Cowboys teams who won three Super Bowls in four years — reserve linebacker Godfrey Myles died on Thursday after suffering a massive heart attack on Wednesday. Myles was on life support for a time in Florida, where he suffered the attack. He was 42 years old.
Myles was selected by the Cowboys in the third round of the 1991 NFL draft after being named All-SEC in his senior year at the University of Florida, where he was teammates with Emmitt Smith. It took his a while for Myles to make his way up the depth chart, but he had his best year in the 1995 season, when Dallas beat Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XXX. Myles started 11 games that season, posting a career high in tackles with 75, intercepting a pass, forcing a fumble, and recovering two fumbles. He recorded his first and only NFL post-season sack during a 30-11 Divisional Playoff round win over the Philadelphia Eagles in January of 1996.
Sadly, Myles tore the anterior cruciate ligaments in both knees during his Cowboys career — the first of those injuries came in Super Bowl XXVII when he was celebrating a touchdown, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Though many former players have injuries at the root of their early passings (especially head trauma), it is not known at this time whether on-field injuries contributed to Myles' death. In March of this year, he was charged in connection with a $2.5 million mortgage fraud in Wellington, Florida.

Dallas Cowboys Legend Ron Springs Dead @ 54 Years Old

i apologize for just now posting this but the blog was trippin but i had to show love to a football legend i remember watching him play back when I actually use to watch football on tv

DALLAS (AP/CBSDFW.COM) – Former Dallas Cowboys running back Ron Springs, who spent the past four years in a coma after losing oxygen during a 2007 operation, has died at age 54 without ever regaining consciousness.
Since 2007, Springs had been in a coma after surgery to remove a cyst from his forearm went awry. He was considered brain impaired but not brain dead. He was diagnosed with diabetes in 1990 and received a kidney transplant in 2007.
Former Cowboys teammate Everson Walls, who donated a kidney to Springs for a transplant, says the Springs family informed him that his friend died about 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Medical City Dallas hospital.
The hospital is where Springs first slipped into the coma after undergoing the cysst surgery.
Walls and Springs started the Gift For Life foundation after the kidney donation.
CBS 11 spoke with Walls Thursday night, who confirmed his friend and former teammate had passed away. “I was shocked… We were hoping he would be able to come out of this. His family is very spiritual, and they truly believe he is in a better place.”
Walls says Springs’ death will bring renewed attention to organ donation and the problems associated with diabetes.

Former Dallas Cowboy Herschel Walker May Play NFL Football Again @ 50 Years Old

i doubt they let him do it but i have no problem with it he may be in better shape than some of these overpaid young athletes.

from yahoo

Don't tell Herschel Walker he's being ridiculous. The former NFL runningback probably won't be swayed. He put together a borderline Hall of Fame career in the NFL without lifting a weight. Then he turned to an Olympic quest at age 29 and made the U.S. two-man bobsled in the 1992 Olympics. He latest endeavor is a career in mixed martial arts. Now in typical Walker fashion, he said he's not done. His next dream is to return to the NFL when he's 50.

"I tell people I may even try out for football again and show people I can do that. I'd be the George Foreman of football and come back and do that one more time," Walker, 48, said on a conference call.

As he preps for his second career pro MMA fight, this weekend in San Jose against Scott Carson, Walker still believes he could clash helmets with athletes who may be 25 years younger than him. 

"There is a 100 percent guarantee that today I could help a football team out," said Walker.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal pointed out that Walker claims he can still run with the best athletes in the world.

Walker said he was clocked at a mind-boggling 4.38 in the 40-yard dash after his MMA debut last year and that his time right now would certainly be sub-4.5.

The 1982 Heisman Trophy winner said it's just a matter of fitting a football comeback into his schedule.

"If I can fit it in my schedule, yes I would do it," he said. "I 100 per cent guarantee today I could help a football team out."

Pretty strange, right? It's par for the course with Walker, who has ripped body in his late 40's in spite of a diet that would make most doctors cringe.

"Most every nutritionist in the world has told me 'You can't do that. You can't do that.' And my thing is 'Guys, I've been doing this for over 20-something years," Walker said. "It's not something that I just started doing because I've was turning into an MMA fighter. I was doing it when I was playing football. And it works for me. I'm not going to say it's going to work for everyone else."

Walker said his NFL teams of choice would be the Minnesota Vikings or Atlanta Falcons. Since Walker's not dispensing advice to others, maybe we should all stop telling the legend cross another sports hurdle in the future.
