Having been a fan of the Cowboys since the early days, one thing I’ve really enjoyed about following the team is how many funny things have been said by players, coaches, owners, etc. Being a fan of the Cowboys has provided us some good laughs.

So here are some of the funniest quotes from the old days in my memory…
- Someone asked the great Walt Garrison once, “Hey, Walt, have you ever seen Coach Landry smile?” Walt said, “No. But I’ve only been here nine years.”
- From the clever former Dallas QB great Don Meredith on Tom Landry, “Coach Landry was a perfectionist. If he was married to Raquel Welch he would still expect her to cook.”
- Speaking of Walt Garrison, Meredith famously described the slow but tough RB this way, “If it was third down, and you needed four yards, Walt would get you five. And if it was third down and you needed twenty yards, by God, Walt would get you five.”
- From the great Hollywood Henderson, “Terry Bradshaw couldn’t spell CAT if you spotted him the C and the A.”
- Former Cowboys owner Bum Bright, who sold the team to Jerry, “I can relax with bums because I am a bum.”
- Former Wash head coach George Allen talked about the vicious hits Cowboys HOF safety Cliff Harris delivered, “He was a rolling ball of butcher knives.”
