BRINGING YOU ENLIGHTENING, EDUCATIONAL, EMPOWERING, INSPIRING, THOUGHT-PROVOKING INFORMATION

Dez for Prez fans and sports gladiators just enjoyed the game. There were some crazy people out there. Some driven by enthusiasm. Some driven by inebriation. But all of them crazy. Funny thing though…everybody was safe there was no reason for real alarm. It was emotion, not commotion. By Vincent Hall Special to I Messenger

I have been watching and following all of the integral statistics of the Dallas Cowboys since I was six years old. My uncle, a butcher for a grocery store, took me and my brother to game between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys in 1965. I remember it well because the historic Cotton Bowl was crazy with the fuel of fans. Children were allowed in the game for one dollar, the stadium was full, and I can remember people then were allowed to bring in their own bottles of liquor. I almost got hit by a man waving a bottle of Cutty Sark. One of the advantages of those old days, those old 1960-1972 days, was that stadiums and sporting arenas were not places built to make millions upon millions of dollars. They were the dens where sports

I guess that's why when the TV camera zoomed in on my man Dez Bryant, who looked to be ranting and raving, I was not at all upset of startled by him. I know firsthand that the “Thrill of victory” or the “Agony of defeat “can drive you crazy especially if you want to win. Most winners are crazy. That's why I love this Bryant and that's why I'll vote for him for president. Now to many of you that assertion probably sounds insane. But it’s just because you have short memories or you racially profile black men all the time anyway. I remember how wild and crazy Thomas Hollywood Henderson seemed to most people. I recall how Tom Landry bridled and finally broke Duane Thomas just because he had that kind of spirited athleticism most people don't understand. I remember how Dallas so easily

If you want to win Super Bowl rings, you've got to have people like Dez Bryant. The kind of athlete that leaves it all on the field. The kind of athlete that makes everybody else feel like they

I've been watching Dez Bryant since his days at OK State, and the one thing I love about him is that he is driven to win. I wish Tony Romo had Dez’ killer instinct. If three of the Cowboys had it…we’d be at least 7-1 for the season and shopping for rings.

tired of a young man from Florida. His name is Michael Irvin. He wore the number 88, was long and lean in body structure and just an amazing athlete. It seemed as though he kept getting in trouble. But it always seems like that when they televise all of the minuses and minimize all the pluses.

Carson holds more than 60 honorary doctorate degrees and has received literally hundreds of awards and citations. He sits on the board of directors of numerous organizations, including Kellogg Company, Costco Wholesale Corporation, the Academy of Achievement, and is an emeritus fellow of the Yale Corporation, the governing body of Yale University.

must give their all or become the subject of his ire and passion. Not only am I a fan of Dez on the football field, some days I wish he would sit next to President Barack Obama. Just once I'd like to see Bo on fire, cursing out some Republicans and acting crazy for the sake of the team. Dez Bryant may be crazy. Hell, I may be crazy. But even the Bible says because you were not cold or hot I spit you out of my mouth. If God didn't want you lukewarm why would I? For my vote it's Dez for Prez. Happy 25th Birthday Dez. I want to come see you live, but the prices went way up since the Cowboys were struggling in South Dallas.
