- I find it hard to believe that the Dallas Cowboys were favored in the NFC Championship Games from 1980 - 1982.

- First off, the Cowboys were on the road for all 3 games. The away team is almost never the favorite in that situation.

- Also, in 1981 the Cowboys played the 49ers during the regular season before the NFC Championship Game. They got killed by the 49ers 45 -14. I doubt Dallas would have been a favorite in the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers weeks later. ___

- White didn't play defense. To blame him for the three losses, ESPECIALLY in 1981, is complete bunk. The defense gave up the winning touchdown, NOT Danny White. That being said he was within a few inches of winning the game. Had Drew Pearson not been caught by the width of a hair on a tackle (after catching a slant from White) history would be far different. White never got the credit he deserved. ___

- I pretty much agree with that opinion. It's unfortunate, though, that in the article, you choose to represent your (and my) opinion as though it were a fact. Mwelch 03:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

___

- Most experts agree that he was unfairly criticized for the losses, and criticism of White was not "wide." If "unfairly" is inappropriate so, too, is "widely". He was criticized by a vocal minority (see the 17-year old idiot motorist) but most fans know it was not his fault. The term "widely" without mitigation shows you sanction it in the article.

___

- I tried to insert ("and, in the opinion of many, unfairly") to bring the criticism of Danny White into proper perspective and that doesn't meet your approval either. That section of the article sounds like a hit piece. What gives?

___

Actually, I wouldn't defend the term "widely". Just didn't notice it, that's all. So if you have a problem with it, then why not take that word out rather than intentionally violate policy? Mwelch 07:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

___

- My violation was no more intentional than yours. I'm glad we got it toned down a little. It reads better. I still say he got a majorly unfair shake on that deal. Far and away one of the top QBs in Dallas history (Staubach, Aikman, Meredith, and White).
