RIP Lee Roy Jordan, 84. Born in Alabama, the fifth of seven children, he was an All-American at the university, playing C/MLB under the legendary Bear Bryant. He was the MVP of the 1960 Bluebonnet Bowl, anchored the 1961 national championship team, and was MVP of the Orange Bowl that culminated the 1962 season, making an incredible 31 tackles. He was part of the College All-Star team that defeated the defending champion Green Bay Packers in 1963. He was the sixth player taken in the draft that year, selected by Dallas, with whom he played his entire 14 seasons. Undersized, his teammates nicknamed him “Killer” and appointed him Captain. After all these years he is still second in all-time Cowboy tackles, 743. Here are individual accomplishments: two-time Second-team All-Pro, five-time Pro Bowler, Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor. He had 32 interceptions, 18 fumble recoveries, and scored three TDs. He is a member of the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame and College Football Hall of Fame. Why isn’t he in the NFL Hall of Fame? He married his college sweetheart and they had three children. After his retirement from football, he managed the Lee Roy Jordan Lumber Company in Dallas. Awesome, Sir. Photo from Google Images:

Would love to see this but doubt it will occur. Headline from newsmax.com: “Trump to Order Voter ID Requirement for Every Vote.” I wonder if this is another ploy by DT, baiting Dems to speak out against an issue that has widespread support.
A beautiful, peaceful day, and the Anti-Inflation Book shop did so-so. My thanks to the gentleman walking his dog, who bought Dr. Sleep by Stephen King, and to the one who purchased The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie; and to the one who selected a Jackie Chan DVD; and to the one who took home a hardcover in Russian; and to the woman who chose Sound Book Sing With Mizzie — Nursery Rhymes’ Children’s board book by Sandra Ebott.
