Dallas Cowboys


After much soul-searching, the Dallas Cowboys have decided to forego one of their team’s greatest traditions- the act of pretending your team has recovered every fumble regardless of how obvious it is that you didn’t. The tradition was created by Bob Lilly in a 1970 Thanksgiving Day game against the Washington Redskins when, after a Redskin’s fumble, Lilly began to leap up and down and excitedly point towards the Cowboys end-zone even though it was clear that the Redskins had maintained possession. After that play, the Cowboys have replayed this act each time a fumble occurs in one of their games. Will the Cowboys stick to their vow to end this embarrassing tradition? We will see tonight!
