Dan Reeves, who appeared in nine Super Bowls as player or coach during a 37-year NFL career, wants to talk to the Dallas Cowboys about the coaching vacancy left by Bill Parcells' retirement. Speaking yesterday from his vacation home at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in north Georgia, Reeves said he phoned the Cowboys on Monday to express interest in the job. Reeves, 63, spent eight seasons with the Cowboys as a running back and six more as an assistant coach. During that time, he participated in five Super Bowls, winning two. He also went to the Super Bowl as head coach with the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons, but lost each time.

DALLAS -- Dominik Hasek should own Buffalo the way Michael Jordan owns Chicago. Or John Elway owns Denver. Or Troy Aikman owns Dallas.You would think he would never have to buy a dinner or a cocktail.You would think his face would be plastered on billboards throughout the blue-collar city of slightly more than 300,000 in western New York.But that's not the case.Hasek, considered the world's best goalie, is a complex, mercurial perfectionist who seems to have an antagonistic relationship with Buffalo Sabres fans and the local media.

There's trouble in Big D with a capital D and it rhymes with disaster.At least it's a disaster by the Dallas Cowboys' standards when the team loses back-to-back games by 13-10 scores to the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants.It's easy to forget the Cowboys are still 3-2. In Dallas, all they're talking about is that the offense has produced two touchdowns in the last 28 possessions."I think there's some frustration, sure," Cowboys coach Chan Gailey said.No doubt about that. Gailey's being second-guessed by everybody from Terry Bradshaw to Emmitt Smith.

DALLAS -- The stranger at Mike's nightclub seemed a daydream made flesh.To the men, rural Mexicans newly arrived seeking work, he had all they longed for: manly good looks, fine cowboy clothes, the confidence of a rich man. Unlike the other patrons, he didn't appear to be paying the woman beside him. He never even asked her to dance.Eyeing the light-skinned stranger from bar stools, the women hoped he'd ask them to dance. They liked the way he sipped soda instead of swilling beer. They noticed his wavy hair and his glinting green eyes.

HE'S 9, THE SAME age I was when President Kennedy was killed, and my son wants to know why he should put down his Nintendo Game Boy and give some attention to the news about JFK Jr. "Because," I say, not knowing what else to say, "it's history."Sort of.It's not the monsoon that struck us when Junior's father died in Dallas. It's not history the way Bobby's murder was history. It's not like the assassination of Dr. King. It's not like the moon landing. Or Watergate. Or the fall of Saigon. Or the shooting of Reagan.
