One Down, One to Go

The silver lining to the Cowboys beating the Buccaneers Monday night 31-14? Well, Tom Brady looks done. Father Time and all that. But I wouldn’t go so far as to call it just desserts, not when you factor in Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones. About the only thing Jones deserves is the attention he’s been receiving for a photo that’s surfaced showing him as a high school sophomore in the background of a protest over the integration of North Little Rock High School in 1957. How did Jones describe himself, “a curious kid”? But not an adult who could offer perspective on the issue of race in America by noting what he’d seen as a fourteen-year old and what he’d learn since then. That’s because Jones has gone through life like the Bourbons, of whom it was said, “They had learned nothing and forgotten nothing.” Which helps explain the French Revolution. Liberte, egalite, fraternite. Go, 49ers.
