FRISCO, Texas -- Andy Gillham had a piece of note paper next to him Sunday as he sat in his Sioux Falls, North Dakota, living room, watching the Dallas Cowboys against the New York Giants.
When Brett Maher, the Cowboys’ new kicker, came onto the field for a 37-yard field goal attempt in the middle of the first quarter, Gillham sat up a little straighter. When Maher’s kick split the uprights, he was like millions of other Cowboys fans.
“I’m human, so of course I’m happy, but I don’t want to say it was ‘relief,’ because that implies there was some doubt,” Gillham said.
