OXNARD, Calif. -- Randy Gregory's 6-5, 242-pound frame was barely through the door at Afters Ice Cream in Oxnard before he announced what he wanted.
"You have to get the Cookie Monster here," he insisted, making a beeline to the bright blue concoction billed as "all kinds of cookies and cream and fudge and yeah." He ate it coated with Fruity Pebbles and inside a doughnut.
Now Gregory was ready for the first night of training camp.
But first, he wanted to let a young customer know the must-order ice cream. The boy nodded, seemingly unaware the Cookie Monster expert plays for the Dallas Cowboys.
