He watches the Cowboys every Sunday. But he is amazed at what happens on a professional football field. He cites a play in a recent game where Emmitt Smith fumbled on a pitch. Damn poor coaching, that's what. He says he thought about writing Cowboys coach Chan Gailey and telling him so.
Wood is big on writing letters.
Sometimes he just writes to correct mistakes of any nature. He'd write Gailey, he says, but he's not sure it would do any good.

They'd run it 20 times a game and never fumble.
