With Jerry Jones finally letting Jimmy Johnson into the Dallas Cowboys ring of honor next month, it’s time to take stock of any remaining glaring omissions by NFL teams that give esteemed organization figures their flowers by naming them to their hall of fame, ring of honor or other circle of celebration.Men like Larry Fitzgerald, Tony Gonzalez, Bernie Kosar and Demaryius Thomas.Teams all have their own protocols, processes, criteria and even waiting periods for these honors. Some of the exclusions aren’t necessarily oversights or miscalculations and many may follow in Johnson’s footsteps soon enough.Jones announced Sunday that Johnson will go into the Cowboys ring of honor on Dec. 30 when the Cowboys host the Detroit Lions.Johnson led the Cowboys to back-to-back Super Bowls in the 1992 and 1993 seasons during his five-year tenure in Dallas, but the relationship between the two men who played football together at Arkansas in the 1960s deteriorated with a bitter feu...

‘All I wanted to do was live’: After years of debate, a suicide safety net for the Golden Gate Bridge is nearing completion. Survivors say it’ll give many a 2nd chance at life

On September 25, 2000, Kevin Hines climbed over the rail of the Golden Gate Bridge.White fog hung below the gray skies that day. He recalled looking down at the rough, green waters below moments before he did the unthinkable: He jumped.“My hands left the rail and I had an instantaneous regret for my actions,” Hines told CNN.Hines fell 220 feet at a speed of 75 miles per hour – “equivalent to a pedestrian being struck by a car that is traveling that fast,” according to the Bridge Rail Foundation, a nonprofit working to prevent suicides on the bridge.During the 4-second fall, Hines said the feeling of depression left his mind, and was replaced by a survival urge he described as almost instinctual.“And at that time, all I wanted to do was live.”After he was rescued from the water, Hines needed three vertebrae replaced with a titanium metal plate and pins, ultimately undergoing four and half weeks of recovery. And in the years since, Hines has been traveling the world to share his rare ...
