A tip of the dunce cap to hall voters.(Knight Ridder Newspapers.)
Byline: Gil Lebreton
HOUSTON _ The Cowboys were ambushed again Saturday. Tom Landry's Cowboys. America's Cowboys. The team that pro football grew up with.
It was 15 below in Green Bay all over again. Benny Barnes got tripped again by Lynn Swann. Dwight Clark leaped again and snagged that dynasty-toppling pass from Joe Montana.
The Hall of Fame's rules read as follows:
"Charged with the vital task of continuing to be sure that new enshrinees are the finest the game has produced is the Pro Football Hall of Fame's 39-man Board of Selectors."
But it's a Confederacy of Dunces, if you ask me.
The names of Cowboys legends Bob Hayes and Rayfield Wright were among the six on the final ballot, staring right at those 39 selectors Saturday morning. How at least eight of the selectors chose not to vote for Hayes or Wright is a mystery.
