The Party's Over ...for Dandy Don Meridith. It was a big deal to watch Monday Night Football when I was growing up, and it is sad today to say goodbye to Dandy Don. Way back in those "old days", football was not on every day of the week, nor on the world wide web (Gore had not invented it yet :)). When it first came on, I would bargain with my dad to stay up until half time and I was tickled to get that concession.
Over the years, I lost track of Don, but I certainly sang his song (really Willie Nelson's) many a time when a game was "out of reach".
Bowl games and high school playoffs later this week. For tonight, the party's over...
