Don Meredith, born in Mount Vernon, Texas, was the Dallas Cowboys’ original star quarterback and later a beloved TV personality. Playing from 1960 to 1968, “Dandy Don” led the Cowboys to their first winning seasons with his strong arm and easy charm. After football, he became a fixture on Monday Night Football, trading quips with Howard Cosell and crooning “Turn out the lights, the party’s over.” A true Texas original—tough, funny, and unforgettable. #nflhighlights | Varsity Jacket Sports
