Me Too....OMG where has time gone?I can not lie. I cried that day.
I can still remember a lot of that speech by heart. And I still get a little chocked up thinking about it. Yep, I am a geek.March 31st: On this day in 1980, after 11 seasons with the Cowboys, Roger Staubach announced his retirement at a Texas Stadium press conference. Roger Staubach, with his wife Marianne at his side, choked up when speaking of Coach Landry.
I can not lie. I cried that day.
Still my favorite Cowboys QB.
'big dog cowboy' - your avatar tells it all.I can not lie. I cried that day.
'RG12' - I am one of those in your 25%. However, I immediately disagreed with your opinion about Staubach being the most influential player creating the Cowboys popularity. No doubt - his football story from HS - College - Pros - is legendary; but his Dallas Cowboys career is intertwined with that of a number of great teammates that wowed me with their play to continually strive for the NFL Championship.would guess 75% of the people posting here never got to see him play. I feel bad for them. No player in Cowboys history is more responsible for the team popularity than him. Never be another like him.
Not gonna lie...his retirement didn’t faze me.
I was 6 weeks old at the time though.

Ain't that the truth!I would guess 75% of the people posting here never got to see him play. I feel bad for them. No player in Cowboys history is more responsible for the team popularity than him. Never be another like him.
Hence, captain America!Hence, America's Team !!!
I wish he did this on April 1st, 1980. Then yelled April Fools!!!!!!!!!!March 31st: On this day in 1980, after 11 seasons with the Cowboys, Roger Staubach announced his retirement at a Texas Stadium press conference.

Emmitt was still playing.... and still productive.I wasn't born yet. I do still remember Aikman announcing his retirement though. That was the end of an era for me.
