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!
