Shawn Springs grew up in Silver Spring, where virtually all his friends were rabid fans of the Washington Redskins. But his father, Ron, was a Dallas Cowboys running back for six years. The Springs household was decorated with Cowboys paraphernalia, and Ron tutored his son about the Cowboys' rich history. So Shawn Springs -- who starred in football and track at Springbrook High -- was raised an avid Cowboys fan.
