And where did you think Dallas  would finish this year? Most predictions  I
read didn't have the Cowboys in the  playoffs, let alone on top of the  NFC
East. In fact, the  typical prediction in  the major sporting  publications
had Dallas  fourth  ahead of  only  the  Eagles. Are  you  suggesting  Bill
Parcells is more  deserving? Landry's  team beat  him twice.   Once with  a
THIRD STRING quaterback who had never taken  a snap in a regular NFL  game.
Landry made  a  winner  out of  a  team  with  a lot  of  weaknesses  in  a
competetive division.  You sound like someone whose team has seen a lot  of
disappointment at the  hands of  Tom Landry.  Despite this  year's ups  and
downs for Dallas, Landry is one of the greatest coaches of all time.
