“I just dive right in, like I was
diving into the water. I don’t
care if Jaws is waiting in there. I
will go after Jaws and put a
bomb in his mouth.”
Johnson is beginning his
seventh year with the Cowboys
and that career has been less
than smooth. Because he was
not judged to be a starter, John-
son told coach Tom Landry a
is
few years ago that he would just
as soon be playing in a uniform
with a different hue.
But Johnson was too valuable
to trade. After all, he kept show
ing up in the end zone with the
football. Johnson’s ego — some
thing that seems to be built in
with most wide receivers — was
gradually soothed. And last year
he signed a new contract that he
admits is lucrative, particularly
for a player that does not start.
Besides that, the publicity he
craves has started to come in lar
ger chunks. He parlayed his
own, distinctive end zone spike
into a dance and the dance in
spired a poster that is being dis
tributed throughout the area.
He is now embarking on a
broadcasting career with a local
television station.
Johnson relishes the oppor
tunity to be seen and to express
his views. And his views con
cerning football would — like
his personality — be worthy of a
psychological probe.
“Football is good for a person
like me,” saidjohnson. “You can
go out there and take out your
aggressions on other people and
do all these things that on the
street would be illegal. But on
the football Field they are per
fectly legal.
“You can do all these things
and forget about feeling bad.
You can hit people and then go
home at night and say, ‘gosh, I
feel good.’
“I’m an aggressive person in
everything I do.”
That aggression,
said, once crossed the
another category.

single in the bottom of the 10th
inning Wednesday night to
score Claudell Washington from
second base and give the Braves
a wild 12-11 victory over the Los
Angeles Dodgers.
The triumph moved the
Braves back into First place in
the National League West, a
half-game ahead of the Dod
gers.
“About the fifth inning, Bob
Gibson (Braves’ pitching coach)
looked over at me and said, ‘One
good thing about this game is we
bat last.’ That’s about how it
was,” Torre said.
With one out in the 10th,
Claudell Washington singled for
his fifth hit of the game. He
moved to second on Rafael
Ramirez’ single and scored on
Murphy’s liner off reliever Steve
Howe, 6-4.
Gene Garber, 7-8, pitched
three scoreless innings to help
the Braves snap a four-game los
ing streak.
