In 1989, the largest trade in NFL history sent Herschel Walker from Dallas to Minnesota. The Vikings ruined what looked to be a budding dynasty by selling the farm for Walker. Dallas became the team of the 1990's, restoring its place as America's Team.

It was a very interesting episode ...  JJ was getting bashed (outside of Dallas), but sure hit a home run with his draft management.  Vikings, not so much, LOL.

It was the Greatest Trade that I can remember. Jimmy got 3 superbowls out of that deal.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.
