This Sunday, the Washington Redskins will make their (likely) final trip to Texas Stadium. The Dallas Cowboys will be entering new digs next year.

The Cowboys-Redskins rivalries are one of the best in sports and Texas Stadium has served as a prime backdrop during the rivalry.

Who could forget the Thanksgiving Day game back in 1974 when Clint Longley came in for an injured Roger Staubach and rallied the Cowboys to a 24-23 win? Longley threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to Drew Pearson with just :28 remaining.

There was the season finale in 1979 when Dallas and Washington were playing for the NFC East division crown. This time, it was Staubach leading Dallas to a wild fourth-quarter comeback and downed the Redskins, 35-34. Before that game, Cowboys defensive end Harvey Martin received a funeral wreath (which was allegedly sent by the Redskins). After the game, Martin stormed into the Redskins locker room and threw the wreath back at them.

"Old School" is the College Football FanHouse's irregular look back at the rich history of college football, usually through the medium of embeddable flash video. Check out the Old School archive for more famous plays and infamous hair.

With the news that future Army vs. Navy games might take place in different cities around the country, it's probably a good time to look back at this historic rivalry in all it's glory. I'm big on tradition in college football. Some things are so big that they should be set in stone and never changed. But the Army-Navy game transcends college football , especially in times of war. While this game doesn't have the influence it used to have on the national championship, it still deserves to be played in front of 100,000 screaming fans. If that means moving the game around the country every year, then so be it. Everyone should have a chance to see this game in person at least once before they die. And it should look just like this, but with newer uniforms and in color.

When Oscar De La Hoya purchased a piece of Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo last week, the news didn't get much attention because, well, the MLS never gets much attention.

But it pointed to one quietly simple fact about De La Hoya, a champion in six weight classes: As fine a boxer as he is, his savvy as businessman is on a whole other level. This is the smartest businessman in sports.

Many elite competitors understand that it's the athletes who do the work but the owners who make the money. But De La Hoya is the one who has used his business acumen to control the means of production after years being used by it.

While professional athletes in the 21st century make the kind of money that their predecessors (not to mention you and I) could only dream about, they do not run their own show. As noted economist Chris Rock explained, "Shaq is rich. The white man who signs his check is wealthy."

De La Hoya is wealthy: Next month this extraordinary pugilist will make millions on a boxing match without ever stepping into the ring.

Before Suzy Kolber, AA, and Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Namath was a professional football player. Here he, um, let's Noxzema cream his face before ... well, before doing something Roger Staubach might not approve of. By the way, this might be the creepiest commercial ever produced.

Between the Morgan Fairchild knockoff lip-synching to what sounds like Louis Armstrong and Namath rubbing shaving cream all over his mug in dark velour-walled bathroom, it's all a bit weird. But hey, welcome to the '70s, I guess.
