Tony Curtis

Hey, anyone notice whose making an impact for the Dallas Cowboys?
Yes, that is the same Tony Curtis, who was The Herald's Athlete of the Year in 2001 out of Seaside High, that caught a touchdown pass in the Cowboys win over the Giants Sunday.
After two years on the practice squad as an undrafted free agent, Curtis is making the most of his playing time in his third season in Dallas.
Playing behind one of the games best tight ends in Jason Whitten, Curtis has two touchdown catches this year.
And he also fell on a fumble on an on-side kick late in the fourth quarter that helped Dallas defeat Buffalo in a wild Monday night game in early October.


Speaking of Seaside graduates, you have to wonder if teams like St. Louis and Miami regret passing on current San Diego linebackers coach Ron Rivera as their head coach.
For that matter, the Chargers brass might be thinking the same thing. Sure, San Diego escaped with a win over the Colts Sunday night - thanks to a defense Rivera helps run.
The Chargers should've been a Super Bowl contender this year. But chemistry between the head coach and players just isn't working.
