RIP Don. Codolences to his family.

Dandy Don was a great color commentator on MNF, (Monday Night Foorball) in adddition to be a great quarterback for the boys.

He had a great personality and I enjoyed his contribution to the broadcasting booth.

I'm honestly sorry to hear of his passing. He was one Cowboy to be admired.

Monday night football hasn't ever been the same without him, Howard, and Frank.

I never was a Cowboy fan; never liked Howard Cosell very much either. But I always enjoyed Dandy Don and there hasn't been a "color guy" like him since. RIP.

Always like him, both as a player and later in the broadcast booth. Great "down home" sense of humor.

A guy like him dying so young certainly makes me think more about retiring early.
