The Dallas Cowboys added three to their vaunted Ring of Honor.Two I get, the other I don't.
Offensive lineman Larry Allen, receiver Drew Pearson and defensive end Charles Haley were named to the organizational honor.
Drew Pearson
His stats are not going to bowl you over. He's from a different generation. He retired in 1983 just as Jerry Rice and others were breaking into the league. Before Michael Irvin came around, Pearson was the greatest receiver in Cowboys history. All 11 years were spent with the Cowboys and won a Super Bowl in 1977. Totaled 489 catches snad 7,822 receiving yards. Before Irvin, Pearson was first in catches and second in yards for the franchise. He was also such a hallmark name for the organization and all of those moments with Roger Staubach. Most worthy.
Larry Allen
When was Allen's rookie year? Try 1994. The Cowboys had already won two Super Bowls before they drafted Allen out Sonoma State in the second round. Arguably one of the top two or three offensive linemen in franchise history. Played 12 seasons for the Cowboys and won a Super Bowl in 1995. Six straight first-team All Pro appointments. Eleven Pro Bowls and probably the best offensive lineman in the NFL for his era.
Charles Haley
First and foremost, there is little doubt that the 1990s Dallas Cowboys do not win three Super Bowls without Charles Haley. He was arguably the best free agent signing in Dallas sports history. He brought a totally different angle to the Cowboys' defense. Give Jim Jeffcoat a probably another five years in the league.
But the Ring of Honor? Played five seasons with the Cowboys and his final year was cut short by injuries playing only five games. His tenure here is more than wrought with as much off-the-field bullshit as anyone. Pulling out his dick all the time, intimidating coaches and players and even throwing a helmet at Jerry Jones for not signing Emmitt Smith.
An immense talent, but Haley is not worthy for this organization's highest honor. This is Jones latching onto the 1990s. Next, Ron Gant and Clayton Holmes will be inducted.
Haley's inclusion comes as a slap in the face to one guy that has not been included: Jimmy Johnson.
Name me someone that's more worthy. You can't. So suck it.
