Finally! A Bob Lilly bio (due Sept 10, 2008)
A Cowboy's Life (Hardcover)
http://www.amazon.com/Cowboys-Life-B...dp/1600781012/ by Bob Lilly (Author), Kristine Clark (Author), Roger Staubach (Foreword) List Price: $24.95 # Hardcover: 256 pages # Publisher: Triumph Books (September 10, 2008) # Language: English # ISBN-10: 1600781012 # ISBN-13: 978-1600781018 Book Description Bob Lilly is Mr. Cowboy. The humble man from Throckmorton, Texas, often called "the greatest defensive tackle in NFL history," shares his life's journey for the first time in A Cowboy's Life. Lilly recounts his humble beginnings in Texas, being the first player ever drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 1961, his induction into the Ring of Honor, and his passion for photography. It's all here: Lilly's innumerable successes, his injuries, the stories of what he did after he retired from the Cowboys, and what he is doing today. Well supplemented with many never-before-published photographs taken by Lilly himself, A Cowboy's Life is the real story of Mr. Cowboy, straight from the man who lived it all. From the Publisher "A man like that comes along once in a lifetime. He is something a little more than great. Nobody is better than Bob Lilly." --Tom Landry "Regardless of whether Bob was double-teamed or even triple-teamed, he'd still beat you. There were times when he didn't even confront the opposition at all. He would either jump over them, go around them, or strategically outsmart them by making the play." --Roger Staubach, from the foreword |

I can't wait to buy this.
Met Bob a couple of times. He's slightly behind Roger on my all-time favorite Cowboy list. But just barely.  "That's the fastest-running, slowest-walking guy I've ever seen." -- Matt Millen on Tony Dorsett |

Memo to self:
Add to Christmas list. This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray, Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8. |

I used to get a subscription to Bob Lilly's Pro Report. Excellent read back in it's day. Too bad mom threw 'em all away.
When will it be available at the flea markets?  |
