He's lucky Roger didn't have him kicked out of the NFL.

If I remember correctly, Staubach was fascinated by Walt's character. Walt dipped snuff and chewed tobacco. I belive Roger tried it at one point and Walt had sotries about that as well. It's been a while so I can't recount those tales for anyone.

Gotta love that old school stuff. It never gets old.

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.

Cliff Harris has a version of that motorcycle story in "Tales from the Dallas Cowboys" 2003 book that he and Charlie Waters wrote. He says:
. . . . . .
That happened, unfortunately for Ralph, two weeks before our trip to Super Bowl VI in New orleans. He was a great player -- an All-Pro -- and we needed him. Of course, Ralph did not make the trip with a cast on his leg. Coach Landry called Tony Liscio, a former Cowboy who had retired and had not played all year. Tony played in Ralph's offensive tackle spot in the Super Bowl against the Dolphins, and we won. Not only did Tony take Ralph's position and his paycheck . . . but he also got Ralph's Super Bowl ring. So much for a fun day off, huh?

That's the book I read...and it is a hoot from the first word to the last word!

He threw up during a team meeting and Landry told Walt never to give that stuff to Roger again. According to Walt Roger got up from his seat ran to the window and got sick in the bushes.

Yeah.

Didn't he also lie on the floor, spit and hit the ceiling and Roger tried it? Or was that someone else?
