All Mental team

[Juke99]

That is weird haha, was it both the same year? And about the TD in Texas Stadium thing, its pretty weird, I mean we'd expect it to be one of the faces of the franchises to be the first to score in the stadium, but no it was good ole' Duane Thomas.

Nah. They were there a few years apart from eachother. And I think it was Hill, not Thomas, who ended up in Hawaii for the WFL.

Yeah. Good ole Duane.

Truly a shame.

Good to see that you have a good grip on Cowboy history.

Ernie Holms - Steelers DL 1970s: Shot a gun at an in-flight helecopter. The bullet went through the pilots foot. Unfortunately, not a military setting.

Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds: Rams LB 1970s: In college, cut a car in half with....you guessed it!

Terry Bradshaw: Hard to be chronically depressed with all the lucky breaks he got in those 70s Superbowls but he was. Chuck Noll made the country bumpkin his whipping boy.

Cowboys honorable mention:
Lance Rentzel
Raphiel Septien

My "Mental" MVP goes to Romanowski. Let's see

1. Fractures a player's orbital bone when he pulled of his helmet and beat him in the face. Oh yeah, this was during practice. It was his own teammate. The player was forced to retire.

2. Spits in a players mouth during the playoffs

3. Breaks Kerry Collins jaw due to an illegal and dirty hit IN A PRESEASON GAME

4. Escaped Drug Trafficking charges

5. Admits to taking steroids

Romo is the most underrated Mental player on that list.

 

[Gibby!]

He also broke Meggetts fingers during a dogpile during the game. Just for the hell of it...

SOme so called experts here mocked me when I mentioned how good Duane Thomas was- but I don't mind, stupidity like that is kind of funny. He had it all physically- but he could not discipline himself to behave. The 71 season he was a machine- running, blocking, catching passes, he did it all as good as any cowboy RB in our history. A year later he was gone.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Did anyone mention DL Demetrius Underwood?

He had serious mental issues......with lot's of talent.

 

[CooterBrown]

I think you got it exactly right. Thomas would have shattered Brown's record.

Of course! How could I have possibly forgotten?

You don't want Romo mad at you, the boy is crazy

 

[JackMagist]

Well I don't think Step belongs on the list. he simply has an opinion that weed should be legalized and is working within an organization to see if they can bring about reform of the laws. He has never caused problems for anyone or for the team that I am aware of. He has an opinion that many Americans (myself included) quitely agree with...he just feels more strongly about it and is more outspoken about it.

And as for Kickers...Raphael Septein...child molesters have to me mental cases IMO.

 

[trickblue]

Tom Brookshire after the 95 yard rushing performance in the SB, asks Thomas "Are you really that fast?"

"Evidently"

Yep, he was bright.

The roll call deal was simple. He felt it was stupid to have to say "here" when his name was called by a coach who could plainly see that he was there.

The guy was a super talent. I don't know how much you saw of him. I have some DVD's of old games. He would just glide through defenses.

He was a 220 lb RB 35 years ago. A physical freak. And he was fast.

Funny how it changed our history... Dorsett would likely never been drafted by Dallas had Thomas had his head on straight...

The trade with the seahawks to get Dorsett was a blessing for the Cowboys. I'm sure the seahags still cringe at the thought of losing out on TD.

Now - Sebastian JaniCOWski

Then - Rafeal Septien

6. Conrad Dobler (79 letters)
Conrad Dobler was a pit bull without a leash on the field. He didn't care who he hurt, how he hurt, and who saw him hurt. He even went as far to write a book called "They Call Me Dirty" to proclaim he didn't have a care about anyone's health.

I'm from Buffalo and even I hated the guy, but I was glad he was with us and not against us.

Even his teammates kept their distance from in games. He radiated meanness.

"When I hit a guy," Conrad Dobler liked to say, "I'll hit him in the throat. He doesn't have any pads on his throat." http://www.villagevoice.com/news/9944,stravinsky,9672,3.html

What do you think? Can we add Conrad as one of our OGs?

The two number one's for Galloway probably soothed them...Alexander was one of those picks.

True and Robinson was the other and while Alexander has done great Robinson has not lived up to his billing
