Although the Cowboys are two years into their new stadium, Texas Stadium is not forgotten. What was your greatest memory from playing in Texas Stadium? "When I first walked into Texas Stadium, I thought it was the greatest stadium to walk into. But my greatest memory was the first game, because we won that first game at Texas Stadium, and I will never forget that game because that's when Duane Thomas scored the first touchdown in Texas Stadium, and that's my greatest memory."
By the way, who nicknamed you the Big Cat?
"You might not believe this, but Bob Hayes was the one that named me that. Bob Hayes had a knack for naming guys. Like he named Cornell Green, and I can't tell you why, but he called Cornell Green 'Sweet Lips.' And some of the nicknames, well, I just can't tell you."
