Remember that game. Rosters were struggling. Primetime seemed like one of the few highlights in those days. LOL

Today, that punt return would be called back for a blindside block penalty.

Awful early for you to be hitting the sauce :)

He wasn’t a bad QB, but was physically limited (although that ball to Sanders was 60+ in the air and in stride). Good backup/spot starter. Probably on par with Rush, maybe a little better.
Yeah, but if you add in his years as coach, he's got to be at least in the top 100 among Cowboys quarterbacks.

Was at that game. One of the most humid nights that I can remember. Players were getting IVs during the game - it was positively stifling in the stadium. Aikman had broken his collarbone the week before against the Broncos, and the Giant fans thought for sure that they were going to roll over Dallas. Sanders had other ideas.

Didnt care for how he celebrated before scoring and how he looked back and taunted opponents. Yeah it could be exciting watching him but dude wasnt the classiest of all time. Also dumped water over a reporter in the WS celebration. Not my favorite Cowboy of all time. That said though, he can wear shades in doors all he wants :) That stuff this week was silly.

Started jogging at the 30 yard line, unbelievable. He would probably get smacked nowadays if he dared to do the same.

Tell him to suit up and report to Arizona Cardinals State Farm Stadium by Sunday 2:00PM. Practice is not necessary.

I would take him at the age of 58 with two toes on each foot.
