My Take
What I admire most about Don Meredith is how gracefully he reinvented himself. A small-town Texas quarterback who became the Cowboys' first star, then traded the huddle for the broadcast booth, charming living rooms with his easy wit before drifting into acting. So many athletes vanish after their playing days, but Meredith kept finding new stages and made each one his own. That refusal to be defined by a single role feels rare and genuinely cool to me. I think his warmth on Monday Night Football did as much for the game's popularity as anything he ever did on the field.
