How easily Emmitt could have winded up at another place.

I still remember Skip saying that was acting on Emmitt's part.

I thought I had seen just about every Cowboys related video on youtube. Never seen this classic. TY

He should thank him, Guy broke his neck blocking for him.

They had a tremendous amount of respect for each other. The teams from the early 90's were a tight knit group of *** kickers IMO. They partied together, ran the streets togetehr, and went to battle together. I think Moose was an underappreciated member of those teams - his teammates and fans recognize his importance.

Just wanted to add - one of the best announcers today as well - love to hear him doing a game. Level headed, well spoken, easy to listen to and obviously very knowledgable.

Wouldn't surprise me, though there is no doubt that he appreciated Moose after the way they embraced when Emmitt actually broke the record.

Now let me ask you guys, could you imagine any of the current cowboys crying like that for their teammates? The answer is no, the chemistry is not there with this group for some reason.

If they won 3 SBs you can bet your arse they would. Zero question about it.
But this group doesn't have a fraction of the talent that those guys had.
If Emmitt had a career of team mediocrity you can be sure he's not shedding tears for his teammates.

Well maybe because there are no record breaking, long time record breaking issues happening. With EVERY team right now for that type of emotions.

Meh I don't see it w/ this group. One of the biggest misconceptions on this forum is that solely winning leads to chemistry. I mentioned it on here before but Moose was on with Babe 2 years ago and he mentioned how the team started bonding during the '89 1-15 season. He said the team was very close knit before all the winning.

Most likely you had a new coaching staff, a new owner, a new philosophy. And all these new players, that were able to buy into all of this. They went through adversity of as 1-15 season, well Emmitt didn't, but he came in the year after. They entire organization was hungry to succeed. The team was gutted and the influx of new players forged a bond. You did not have FA or aging vets hanging on. The few vets that stayed were still relatively young still. Except a few.

Now days with FA & salary caps, a team simply can't do that. However, who knows, after three 8-8 seasons and a good draft coming up, maybe that will happen this year. Not to the degree of the 90's teams, but it starts somewhere. This team is young and after the draft will be younger. Maybe this bond will be formed, none of us knows, but it will be interesting to watch.

I believe him.

I'm just saying that if that 1-15 season was followed by 6-10, 6-10, 6-10, 8-8, and 5 more years of that mess. That close bond would evaporate right away, and maybe even after 2-3 years.

Fwiw, I do think because free agency and the cap were not what they are today, teams had a chance to get closer back then. The point about the new staff and how galvanizing Jimmy could be is valid too.
But still, all championship teams look back on their time together with fond memories. That was a special group, but I don't think for a second that they would be selfless or sacrificial (for them anyway) if they were on a perpetual JAG team.

I'm just so glad we don't have to know that answer.

Hard to believe the HOF speech was 4 years ago already.

Listen to the praise for Jimmy. "Shrewd" moves . I love it.
