Last Friday night, with the help of a few sponsors, the Dallas Cowboys hosted 100 under privileged youth for what was called the ultimate sleepover experience.

The sleepover began with a red carpet style enterence for the kids, followed by a visit to the locker room where they’d meet Cowboys defensive back Brandon Carr.

Former NFL head coach and influential defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan has died, agent James Solano confirmed Tuesday. He was 82. Ryan, who coached in the NFL for 35 seasons, was known for building some of football’s top defenses behind a relentlessness that focused on creating havoc on the field. He was on the defensive staff of the Super Bowl-winning New York Jets in Super Bowl III in 1968. The Chicago Bears carried Ryan off the field next to coach Mike Ditka after Ryan’s vaunted “46 Defense” helped the Bears destroy the New England Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX.
