I can't help but think anyone who doesn't respect Roger for the person he is doesn't really know anything about him. It's just that simple.

Staubach's my favorite Cowboy and I was born in 1983.

Watching old games as a kid, NFL Films and reading books about the Cowboys cemented that.

As a Dallas Cowboys fan I feel truly blessed to have been able to watch the majority of Roger Staubach's brilliant career.One item that rarely gets attention is how he tried to help Bob Hayes out after all the legal problems and his battle with Alcoholism.Even in retirement Roger was still loyal to his former teammate and friend.

Great post,Hos!

I'm like Thumper, as I quickly warmed up to Bob Lilly as well. Don Perkins caught my eyes first, and that bouncing shoulder star.

But Roger definitely can share top shelf in my study.

Great read, Hos....
There's no right way to do the wrong thing.

To compete for the playoffs, Dallas has to improve here: Only four sacks against Eli Manning over the past six games!

Roger was there for Drew Pearson and Thomas Henderson as well. Just 100% class!

"Jerry Jones is a billionaire fan who bought his own team for the express purpose of buying his way into the game. He wants to hang out with the players, stand in front of the cameras, be the face of the team (yech), make personnel moves as if this were a video game, and more than anything else, be seen as the guy who made it all happen."

proudly wear my Staubach jersey on game day

As a Christian, I always appreciated Staubach's unwavering faith in ******. no tebowing, never ostentatious but genuine and open

I also remember that every year there seemed to be a game in which he was awful

Great post.

I have to correct you though, as team was THIRD for Roger. Not first.
With him it was:

GOD
FAMILY
TEAM

That, I am sure of.

I'm just glad that when Roger told the organization to play him or trade him they went with Roger. It took Lee Roy Jordan who was voted by the defensive unit to talk with Landry about choosing Roger or Morton but bouncing between the 2 was causing problems.
