I've never heard of Skip Baylis, so I won't even respond to that. But, you can't tell me that Landry et al had no idea that Henderson and others were tooting up in the locker room at halftime. Henderson even said he used to snort on the sidelines! The drug abuse was known within the organization long before the public found out. As far as Septien, I remember seeing the segment on his lawsuit on some investigative show years ago, then IIRC it was settled out of court, which leads one to believe the Cowboys had some guilt. If he was a known child molestor, then the team should have dumped him for that, but keeping a hernia secret in order to keep him on the field is unforgiveable.

Also, my despising the Cowboys has nothing to do with their rivalry with the Redskins; I despise the Baltimore Raisins as well, for refusing to cut Ray Lewis after his involvement in a murder, then his destruction of evidence and lying to police afterwords. They are a good team and have a knack for picking great defensive and special teams personnel, but I can't respect them until Lewis and the management that kept him on are long gone. Of course the league in general should have done more than fining him...

He said whatever he had to say to sell his book.

It's likley that Septien took what he could get from the Cowboys, since he was released after molesting a 14 year old girl in the off season.

You seem to have the idea that sports' teams should wet-nurse grown men. If a guy can play and doesn't do anything illegal or that reflects negatively on the team when he's on his own time, why should Tom Landry jack with him?
