Re: “Exec who helped build early Cowboys — He made league examine how it approached scouting, the NFL combine and draft,” Friday news obituary.I have had the honor and privilege of living across the street from Gil Brandt for as long as I can remember. The man was iconic, a GOAT and a National Football League Hall of Famer who possessed an incredible sixth sense to see potential talent. The Dallas Cowboys wouldn’t be who they are without him.But let me tell you about just the man as a neighbor.
I write emails to my members in Congress, but rarely get a response. When I do get a response, it is just a form letter that doesn’t address the issue in my email. I’m pretty sure that the greatest generation, our parents and grandparents, who showed up, put up and never complained are turning over in their graves.Texas is uniquely positioned as a state that creates and uses all of its own energy. This can be a weakness, as seen in February 2021. I believe it is also a strength because we have the ability to increase our energy production to avoid future blackouts.
