FRISCO -- On Jason Witten's last day as a Cowboy, Jerry Jones went all in, a favorite catchphrase of the honoree. Jerry presented a five-minute video tribute highlighted by a Hall of Fame recommendation from Bill Parcells; his personal endorsement of Witten as one of the "top five" people he's met in the NFL; even a Gawd-almighty, diamond-studded football.
On top of all that Thursday, Jason Garrett delivered a testimonial worthy of a Cowboys immortal. He didn't just deviate from his usual robotics; he spoke from the heart. Preached. Even wept.
All things considered, it ranks among the finer moments in the history of an organization that hasn't always covered itself in glory the last 29 years.
