Cowboys Royalty............

look at all the battle scars on Bad Bob's helmet........ what a warrior he was!

 

I was really bummed after this game and then the Ice Bowl the following year......

 

I remember Dallas had a short first and goal and could have tied it up at the end of the game, but Jim Boeke moved and got Dallas a 5-yard penalty. That made it a long first and goal. Meredith dropped back to pass on first down and threw an interception, costing Dallas the game. I think that play gave birth to the film clip you used to see a lot of Landry turning around with a look of unbearable pain on his face. It was a real heart breaker for a young Cowboy fan.

 

After getting over the way Landry was fired, I have not been a fan since I heard Switzer was hired. It is like JFK, the Challenger disaster, etc. I remember where I was when I heard Drunk Dale come on Channel 8 to announce the breaking news.

 

Big guys playing in the mud. The way football was meant to be.

 

Roger the Dodger turns 79 today...............Happy Birthday Mr. Cowboy!

 

Some real warriors there and I can identify almost every one of them....

 

Captain America!

 

The Dodger has aged gracefully..........you go Roger!

 

George Andre, Mike Gaechter, Lee Roy Jordan, Bob Lilly, Jethro Pugh, Larry Cole, and Chuck Howley.

 

The good old days of football before the league became a social justice sounding board. I despised the Cowboys and was a Redskins fan during the George Allen years (over the hill gang), but who can ever forget those great Cowboy defenses.

 

Hic, I agree totally. No doubt it was time for Tom to be replaced, but Jerry muffed the changeover horribly - and I despised that. But after Jimmy started bringing back the trophies, I was okay - until Jerry's ego got in the way. When I heard that Jerry was bringing Barry in to coach, I threw away all my Cowboys caps and T-shirts. To this day I do not have a single item to identify the Dallas Cowboys.
And, IMO, the Cowboys will not get back to the Super Bowl as long as Jerry thinks he's the GM.

 

Bad Bob and the Manster..........a couple of real badasses on the DL!
