I don't mean to suggest that our hometown was perfect. We never thought it was, even then. Hope was segregated, like the rest of the South. It had its share of human frailty and vice. But kids were taught, growing up, to respect the dignity of each individual. There was a genuine sense of community in Hope, that crossed income lines and in many ways, race as well. -Mack Mclarty

This move is vintage Jerry Jones. Signing Terrell Owens is stunning in a lot of ways, but not when you know Jerry. He's always been bold, but beneath his larger-than-life personality, he's very, very thoughtful and creative.
