On the night of Jan. 20, 1994, a Thursday, Jimmy Johnson and his girlfriend, Rhonda Rookmaaker, were in the car, driving from Valley Ranch to his television show. Barking from the radio was Randy Galloway. On a cold night, with the ionosphere just so, you could hear Galloway's show from Canada to Puerto Rico. On this particular night, it was about to get really loud.
Or as David Hatchett, Galloway's producer at WBAP, put it recently, it was about to get historic.
Put it in three-inch headlines . . .
"It's the most famous guarantee in Cowboys history," Hatchett said.
