Look at all those HOFers.

I only recognize two of those guys. Pearson and Roger. There wasn't as much exposure back then as there is now. Plus I was very young.

I am not crying. My eyes are just leaking a little.

OMG.....they are old.

Well, of course they are. I was 20 when the Cowboys won Super Bowl 12.

Thanks for sharing @RS12 , it's great to see a lot of my childhood hero's still looking good.

When I was about 12, Drew came to Del Rio for a sports banquet and I was one of the kids invited. I was over the moon about it. My mom went to the mall and bought me a new Dallas Cowboys iron-on decal and blue shirt. I was so proud of that shirt and couldn't wait to show it off.

When I walked proudly into the banquet hall, I was the only kid not in a shirt and tie. I was horrified. My dad must have sensed it because I remember him telling me everything was ok.

I ended up having a great time and I still have the signed trading card and the picture of Drew and myself. He was such a friendly guy and seemed to enjoy being around all of us kids.

What is that darkish spot near the center of the pic? Oh, it is just Danny White still standing in Staubach’s shadow.

He did take them to three straight NFC championship games.

And he was a solid punter.

It is incredible actually when you think about it; so many are still alive after all this time after the tremendous violence and stress of those years.

Just shows HOW TOUGH THEY REALLY WERE

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Can anyone give us back row to front row names? I recognize some, but not many.

That's why some of us stay with this team despite everything. those guys were my heroes.

Just know that those Cowboy teams were something to watch and they were built totally through the draft. It was an outstanding organization then that did things the right way.
