Does she deserve it?
I can’t tell you how many times I have been asked that question over the last few days, weeks and months.
It often came after a well-meaning compliment about my former co-worker Charean Williams having her name forever etched in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as the Dick McCann Award winner for 2018.
“That’s great for Charean. But does she deserve it?”
It happened again this morning as I was leaving my Cowboys training camp hotel in Ventura, California, and going to get breakfast and a haircut.
Charean Williams being honored as the McCann winner by the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) in recognition of a long and distinguished reporting in the field of pro football along with the other Hall of Fame inductees in Canton, Ohio, this weekend is proof that we have come a long way.
