You mean Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?

Kennedy was shot? I hope Ted is recovering well.

Barry Bonds used to be skinny?

The Cowboys had a Bum for an owner.

Tex Schramm wasn't from Tex.?

Intimidation is a wonderful thing and lots of fun.........I wonder how many of our younger members will feel about asking questions in the future.

I became a fan in 1975, but I know who in the heck Lilly is!
Get a hold of some NFL film stuff which chronilizes his career. That was when I became aware of him first. That an my dad use to talk about how great he was.
There also is a DVD which shows the history of the Dallas Cowboys.
Dude you have been a Cowboys fan all these years and you still do not know who he is?????
You gotta know your history and believe me, there is no better history than that of the Dallas Cowboys.
They got guys like...
Lilly
Walt Garrison-one of the truly great characters who ever played in the NFL.
Don Meredith-Ditto.
Pat Toomay
Don Perkins-all time leading rusher until Dorsett.
"Bullet" Bob Hayes-look up how many tds he had!
Chuck Howley-MVP of Super Bowl 5.
Eddie Lebaron
Duane Thomas-scored the first td at Tx. Stadium...aksed him about it and he said "Why wait to be great?".
Those were just the guys off the top of my head...there are so many others.
You got some homework now!

Tass,

Great question and I've really enjoyed the majority of the answers. Unfortunately, some seemed to have read only your thread title and not your opening post, and may assume (incorrectly I believe) you are totally clueless about Bob Lilly. Others just enjoy being jerks-ignore 'em.

Kudos to those who were nice enough to provide some great memories of "Mr. Cowboy". Much better than Google!

Exactly, I'm a youngin who knew Lilly only by name so I've enjoyed all of the stories. If I have a buddy who knew some information I wanted, I'd probably ask the buddy before going google. Even if I searched google afterwards I'd still ask. It means more coming from a friend then a website. And we're all friends here

Brain they were lighter but not necessarily shorter... not on the offensive and defensive lines.

As a matter of fact defensive lineman have gotten shorter and heavier.

Ernie Ladd was a 6'9 DT, Buck Buchannon was a 6'7" DT.
