We interviewed both Hall of Fame coach Don Shula and former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann tonight on Tylock Lasik SportsTalk (6:30 PM, M-F, KFWD, Channel 52). I asked Shula if he believed Wade Phillips could indeed make the transition from softie to meanie next season.

The most recent safety before Lott is all-time great Ken Houston, who played for the Oilers (1967-72) and Redskins (1973-80). He was inducted in 1986...

I also asked Coach Shula, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, whether he'd be interested in coaching the Cowboys next season. The results, are amusing.
