I wonder if the rest of the NFL realizes how many things we have now becasue of the Cowboys? 20 yd line stipes, wide white sidleines. #'s on the sleeves or shoulders of the jerseys for TV, Wide end lines, I mean it goes on and on.

Alot of that was Tex Schramm....
I will never forget, as a kid, in 1965, walking past the TV...the Cowboys were playing in the "Playoff Bowl" against the Colts...it was a runner up game, the two teams that lost the division finals...and I heard the announcer talking about Bob Hayes...the world's fastest human being...and then I saw the stars on the helmets...true love.
