Anyone know this past Cowboy player?

Gil Brandt - with a conversation with a draftee...a player from the past.


“Can you come to Dallas this afternoon?” he asked me.

I may have been stunned but I wasn’t dead. “Well, let me check my schedule here.” I was laughing but he didn’t seem amused. “Yeah, I think I can squeeze you in!”

The conversation was short. I hung up the phone and rounded out the front door of this shack in the middle of nowhere and just kept on running.
There was nothing around except acreage and I ran right out in it. Jeans, sneakers, a T-shirt…I ran and cried and shouted and no one could hear me. I ran till I couldn’t run anymore, then I walked, then kind of stumbled. It was hot, I was hot, sweating and tear-grimy and full of Oklahoma farm dirt a mile from the house, back in the woods next to this little creek. I grabbed a handful of rocks and sat there, shoes off, feet in the stream, tossing stones one by one into the water, this ****-eating grin all over my face.
I had done it. Me. All on my own, and I had made it. It took me a long time to stop laughing and crying.


(can you guess who ?)

ha idk... jay novachek

ha idk... jay novachek

Novacek joined the Cowboys after Gil, Tom, and Tex were gone.


I'll guess Walt Garrison.

 

[tunahelper]

Aikman?

 

[big dog cowboy]

I'll guess Walt Garrison.

That was my first thought.

 

[Hostile]

Aikman?

Aikman was also after Tex, Gil and Tom.

Rayfield Right

 

[Big Dakota]

Randy Hughes?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Jim Carrey?

WHOO! you do NOT, want to go in there

 

[notherbob]

My first thought was Walt Garrison but it did not sound like the way he would talk so my second guess would be Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson even though it doesn't sound like him either, at least to me

 

[LeonDixson]

If it had been Arkansas farm dirt my guess would be Jerry Jones.

Was it Drew Pearson? He went to college in Tulsa.

good quote.

amazing how you can go from seeing every dream come true to thinking "the man" owes you something. from this to "wanna by my superbowl ring"?

he's turned it back around but amazing what perspectives can do to our lives.

Cool.

Purely a lucky guess. The thing that made me think it might be Hollywood was the "I did it all by myself", part and it seemed to be said in retrospect and he might have become a little more polished over the years and the setting seemed like it could fit.

Except that Walt is from Texas...He just went to school in Oklahoma.

I'd guess Cliff Harris

Edit: except that I just read the post above

I amused myself by pretending it was Barry Switzer.
