Old habits die hard. Like hating a team because they beat your team. And a lot of allegiances were formed in the 1970s for the Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Whichever side you came down on, chances are you hated the other team.
It couldn’t have been pleasant to be a young Cowboys fan in the 1970s watching them play the Steelers. Not in the Super Bowl. Not again. But that’s what Wally Williams dealt with as a little kid in Tennessee. And he carried that with him into the NFL as a divisional rival.
