Don Meredith, perhaps almost as well known for being the Lipton Tea spokesman as for his football legacy, has died. He was 72.
Twitter remembers him fondly. Both for his days as a Cowboy and for his promotional activities.
Meridith also had a role as himself on an episode of King of the Hill, in which he misses a pass that could have won the lead character $100,000. Watching the episode you got the impression Meridith felt pretty bad about that.....
@wingoz Don Meredith was also a hell of a player: 1966, Meredith led Cowboys to their first-ever winning season named NFL Player of the Year, 24 tds
