FRISCO, Texas – Somewhere Tex Schramm is smiling.
See, Tex Schramm was big on history. History of the NFL. History of the country. History of those World Wars. You name it.
But I can remember the one thing Tex seemed to contemplate in his later years, before passing away on July 15, 2003:
Had he done enough during his 83 years on this earth to be remembered? Did he make his mark?
Silly Texas E. Schramm. Why, in 1991, Tex was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for his numerous contributions to the NFL and for his tireless work as president and general manager of the highly successful Dallas Cowboys.
