    Former Dallas Cowboy Suni Filikitonga making transition to mixed martial arts

    Its true that free agent Junior Filikitonga tried out for the Cowboys in 1998, but he never made the active roster.

    I don't mean to nit-pick, but I think calling Filikitonga a "former" Cowboy is like saying a dancer who didn't make it past a casting call is therefore a "former cast member" of a Broadway musical.

    Book Review and Author Interview: Texas Stadium by Mac Engel

    The complete title of the book is "Texas Stadium: America's Home Field -- Reliving the Legends and the Legendary Moments".

    One significant event that was omitted from the book that I thought merited inclusion was the Moscow Dynamo-Dallas Tornado soccer match in 1972. The Soviet team was making its first-ever appearance in the US, and the defending NASL champs played them to a 0-0 tie. It was the first time that "major-league" soccer was played at Texas Stadium. I attended the game, and it was the first time I'd ever seen big-time soccer.

    I enjoyed the match, but it didn't spur me to go out and take up soccer.
