THE DATE WAS OCTOBER 4, 1987, AND ALEX GREEN
was living the dream: He was an NFL safety for the Dallas
Cowboys: “America’s Team.” Never mind that Green was
a “replacement player,” the result of a labor dispute that
sent the regular NFL players from the locker rooms to the
picket lines. On that autumn day at the Meadowlands in
New Jersey, he intercepted a pass thrown by New York Jets
quarterback David Norrie, thereby securing for himself a
place in the NFL record book: Green, Alex; Season: 1987;
G: 3; Int.: 1. 6
