Joe Avezzano & Leon Lett...Dallas Cowboy Legacy!

Ok....I'm gonna attempt to give you a 2 for 1 with this one.

As a LIFETIME Dallas Cowboy fan; win, lose, or draw, it saddens me to hear that legendary specal teams coach Joe Avezzano has passed away of a heart attack.  Everybody knows Coach Joe!  Running up and down the sidelines with that long white hair just flowing......I was so upset when Bill Parcells came along and Joe was gone.  Joe helped lead the Dallas Cowboys to 3 Superbowls in 4 years....a great accomplishment for America's favorite team.  Coach Joe went on to become the head coach of the Dallas Desperados, Dallas, TX's arean football team and was serving as the head coach for an Italian league team at the time of his passing.  We'll never forget you Coach Joe and all of your efforts with the Dallas Cowboys.  Joe Avezzano: 1943-2012


How many of ya'll remember "The Big Cat" Leon Lett???  And not just the Thanksgiving Day "muff" against the Miami Dolphin (in which Dallas lost) either!  Or that embarassing fumble at the 10 yard line during the Superbowl (cowboys won the superbowl both years fyi!)....ok, it's not sounding too promising is it?  I'm just trying to refresh your memory!  Anyway, Leon Lett played in the NFL for 10 seasons and won 3 Superbowl rings as a defensive lineman with the Dallas Cowboys.  Now, he's back as an assistant working under Dallas' defensive line coach Brian Baker.  I think this is a great add to the team.  Lett should be able to offer some guidance to the younger Cowboys and teach them a thing or two about winning....#IJS!  I'm getting more and more anxious about the upcoming footbal season, what about you?  Visit the Dallas/Ft. Worth ESPN site for the full story. Leon Lett Back with the Cowboys.
