Gene Stallings is a former defensive backfield coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Once, after a game against the Washington Redskins, Stallings overheard two of his players talking: Charlie Waters and Cliff Harris.
The fiercely fought game had ended in a nerve-racker of a close score. Both players now slumped on the locker room benches: too exhausted, too played out to even shower, much less leave the stadium. Staring downward, Waters said to Harris, "By the way, Cliff, what was the final score?"
