MANHATTAN – Imagine looking out a bus window and seeing Barry Switzer. He is giving you a thumbs up. He is sipping wine and raising a glass in your direction. The retired football coach, winner of three national championships and one Super Bowl, is smiling and waving and urging you to pull over.
How would you react?
If you’re Bill Snyder, you would smile and tell your driver to keep going, fearful that a sudden stop might cause a traffic jam. But you would later write a lengthy thank-you note and drop it in the mail. Switzer would read every word.
