You're trying to be cute and you're just coming off as foolish.

You are coming off foolish but you're just coming off as cute. ... Yes, you are!

You've got a serious problems and I think you'd be better suited at some all male site. Also your story keeps changing and at this time I'll bet you've forgotten what you originally said. Maybe you should spend less time trying to audition from Broke Back Mountain.

Or, maybe he's just one of the site comedians. He's actually rather amusing if you read his posts from a humorous point of view.

Hey, have fun! I bet that will be very enjoyable.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Amazing, yes!

Lots of anger there. You seem very gender focused. To the point of over protest print.
1. Quit quoting what is not there, Lester.
2. Don't cross lines and
3. Get over your emotional swings.

Otherwise, I hear you are a terrific dancer and a hell of a good cook, lout.

Two things led to the Boys deterioration in the 80's.

Arrogance and Bum Bright.


Arrogance in that they were so in love with being the Computer Wizes that they thought numbers were everything. The biggest point in that was they passed up drafting Mike Singletary because he was ONE HALF INCH below their 'minimum' as regards height for LBs.

Bum Bright in that he starved the organization to pay his own debts. He gutted the scouting budget and cut Landry's budget for supporting coaches so by the late 80's he was unable to get really good assistant coaches anymore

'83 draft was a biggie.
passed on OL Irv Eatman,Tom Thayer,Mark Bortz,Jesse Sapolu.
passed on CB Albert Lewis.
passed on LB Karl Mecklenberg.

you can do this with any draft class....but Karl Mecklenberg SCREAMS Landry Cowboy...and any combo of those OL could have helped our OL down the line.

I dont believe for a second that the game passed Coach by.....but the misses in the draft was devastating.

Yes, Geno, as are the names Dorsett, Landry, Staubach, Meredith, Deion, Garrett, Schramm, Aikman etc.

Reading comprehension not a strong suit, eh?

Stautner played the prime of his HOF NFL career BEFORE the Cowboys ever existed.

Not so with those players you listed, other than Landry.

Yo, Geno!
Without the Cowboys, few would remember him.
Staubach was legend at Navy. Waited to enter the NFL to serve in the Navy. He arrived as a well known celebrity. The others also were great before arriving in the NFL.
Get out of your little NFL shell and sense the other greatness around.

Stautner is in the Hall of Fame as a player, so he made a very big mark before ever coaching with the Cowboys.

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

I think you are a little confused. Tex Schramm was president of the Cowboys, Gil Brandt was head of the scouting department and Ernie Stautner was defensive coordinator. They were all very good at what they did but my guess is only Schramm and Brandt had regular conversations and if Schramm was going to make any player acquisition I'm sure he had a conversation with Landry first before doing it.
.

Right. I wondered how Stautner was suddenly elevated into this high place. Good, even great DC but not the brains. TL was the brains of the Flex/4-3.

 

[TwoDeep3]

I think the Schramm story which best exemplifies his character is when he waited until after Tom Landry's death to suggest in an interview in Dallas that he was going to hire Jimmy Johnson to replace Landry before Bum Bright sold the team to Jones.

Maybe Tex wanted to spare Tom's feelings.
After all, we know how sensitive Tom was when he played the hurt diva and made poor Jerry chase Tom all over the state to fire him. Such a diva drama!

You lost me at Garrett.

Tinkley Square, brutes and good lads.
The names of the legendary Cowboys Stautner, Brandt and Schramm will generate fond memories of a time when the 3 exemplified the term brain trust.

Yes, govnors, Landry whipped them into shape.
But Brandt, Stautner and Schramm devised the plan, went after players (with acquiescence from Landry) and shaped the startup Cowboys into a worldwide enterprise representing the new, lucrative and sexy
NFL.
Today, I was reading as a daily routine to improve me self, and came across an article in SportsDay about Lilly recalling any Stautner didn't want the Cowboys to wear gloves in the Ice Bowl.
Why?
Because Stautner thought it made the defenders look like "sissies."
Lilly, heartbreakingly tells of wearing no gloves (though photos show gloves on Cowboys) wrapping Seran Wrap on feet. Bandages around ears under the helmets. 2 measly heaters at each end of the bench. Capes with no zippers. Ruffians, for 2 1/2 hours, it was Valley Forge conditiins. (I have a lips)

Well, that is my Stautner story.
These were 3 truly great Cowboys in their times.

What is your favorite Stautner, Schramm or Brandt story, bad boys of the realm?

They be like God, Jeebus and the wholy spirit. Question is which one is which. Brandt looks a bit like Methuselah for sure. Blasphemer

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

You lost me at Garrett.

Well, what is a Princeton grad who played collegiate ball then was a highly touted assistant before he got here.
After that, he got three Super Bowl rings and was a capable QB for one of the greatest teamed in Cowboys history.
I guess you and I, who did better than him before we were 30, can snark on him, yes?
