I recall the first time I saw TD in person getting off the flight home after beating the Rams in 78 playoffs .He was wearing a mink coat.

We used to meet the players at the airport ( only 15 minutes from our house) after big road wins.

The 28-0 win sent us back to the Super Bowl to defend our championship in Miami which I attended.

Speaking of the draft, in 1977 Tex Schramm's brilliance in orchestrating a trade with the Seahawks to acquire the 2nd overall pick -- Dorsett -- was phenomenal.

Sure Dorsett did not want to play in Seattle, which aided the development of the trade -- but Tex was able to swindle the Seahawks front office with draft choices, which taken in total would never have created the total overall impact for the Cowboys of an all-world talent, and future hall of famer -- like Dorsett.

I met Tony Dorsett at an autograph signing back in the early 90's ('94, I think). He was the nicest guy...down to earth...laid back. My ex told him that Emmitt Smith had NOTHING on him, and he also told him "Emmitt who?" Little did we know at the time, that Emmitt would surpass Dorsett and be the ALL-TIME rushing leading in NFL history!! :D

My All time Favorite Player. I remember I tweeted to him all the jerseys I had of him and how I ran around the house pretending to be Tony D. He tweeted back "thank you so much and very cool."

no doubt my favorite running back of all time (which says a hell of a lot considering Emmit) and way up there for player, maybe top 5. I never really made a list beyond 1 and 2 which would be Staubach and Manster

I do plenty wrong.

Since you seem to have an attitude, I offer you no apology.

You got it wrong. Own it. Learn from it. And move on.

Got to know Tony a little bit when our daughters played soccer against each other about a hundred times growing up. Nice man and a loving father.

I remember the day he got drafted. I was giddy as hell.

Happy Birthday, Tony.

I believe it was a privilege to have someone of the caliber of a two-time Super Bowl running back asking me to work out with him. If you read more into it than that. I guess that's on you . The nerve damage you have the tingling in your leg. I feel your pain. Sorry to hear it. Some people take kindness for weakness. I usually don't respond derogatorily until it's initiated

I don't recall looking for an apology. I recall asking for common sense.

I know it's two weeks late but here's TDs 10k run against Pittsburgh. I've been editing and putting up games on YouTube for a couple years now and TD was phenomenal in his prime.
