Roger Staubach

Roger Staubach, former Dallas Cowboy quarterback, and George W. Bush, Texas Ranger managing general partner, have pulled themselves out of the running for Lloyd Bentsen's U.S. Senate seat.

The identity of the Dallas Cowboys is a work in progress. Are the Cowboys the gutsy team that won in overtime at San Francisco, handing the 49ers their only loss, or the wobbly one that collapsed down the stretch against the New York Jets and Detroit Lions? Is Tony Romo an asset, a liability, or both? Is Jason Garrett the right coach to lead them where they want to go? Exactly 40 years ago Monday, Halloween of 1971, the Cowboys were at a different crossroads, one detailed in the just-released book "Breakthrough 'Boys," which chronicles the pivotal 1971 season that ended with Dallas winning its first Super Bowl.

Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach know what it means to win -- they're in the NFL Hall of Fame -- and what it means to lose. It helps for them to know both, now that they're in the Nextel Cup Series. The two former Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks, along with Bill Saunders, own Hall of Fame Racing, which got into NASCAR's premier series last year with the No. 96 Chevrolet.

THE TYPE Craig Candeto, QB, Navy OK, so Roger Staubach he's not. But maybe he's Dee Dowis, who finished sixth in the voting in 1989 for Air Force. In a wide-open race, anything's possible. Candeto has 869 yards and 11 touchdowns for the nation's No. 1-ranked rushing offense. And he still gets to play Notre Dame and Army to help pad his stats. THE HYPE Kellen Winslow, TE, Miami Back when he was striking Heisman poses in September, Winslow had the rest of the season to prove himself.

No. 1 STEVE YOUNG * Party: Republican. * Bio: Former Super Bowl MVP quarterback with the San Francisco 49ers. * Strengths: Agile mind, quick on his feet, has law degree--could be the poster boy for "compassionate conservatism." * Political potholes: Young's favorite recording artist is Bruce Springsteen, whose common-man songs have a Democratic bent.

Although Roger Staubach left the Dallas Cowboys to avoid more blows to his head, he doesn't believe Troy Aikman should retire after two concussions in eight days.

Aikman, who turns 33 a week from Sunday, will miss a game because of a concussion for the first time in his career Sunday when Dallas plays Green Bay.
