Turn out the lights – the party really is  over now.
“Dandy Don” Meredith has passed.
He was well known as the Cowboys’ first winning quarterback, i.e. he ran the team the first time they posted a winning record.  And he was already well-known in Dallas as SMU’s quarterback.  But his fame (notoriety?) took off a couple years after he retired – for that’s when he became the third man in the triumvirate of announcers doing ABC’s Monday Night Football, opposite Frank Gifford & Howard Cosell.  And America became enamored with the song:
Turn out the lights
The party’s over
They say that
All good things must end
Call it tonight
The party’s over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again
Goodnight, Dandy Don.  You left us too soon.
