Thank you for carving out such an incredible part of NFL history. 91 years old is a good run. What a hell of a run at that. Rest in peace Gil.

I loved listening to the godfather, what a man and a true cowboy, hope jerry keeps that roof open so he can watch the season coming up. As I’m sure they will do something to honor him
Should be an emblem on every Cowboys personnel uniform\clothing - players, coaches, support staff, executives, AT&T Stadium employees - from the concessionaires inside to the building, attendants monitoring
fan entrances during games.

Very sad news. He was an outstanding man and a hell-a-va Cowboys exec. God bless, sir.

What a great full life he had! Gil actually brought an algorithm archaic computer program into the mix when scouting players. He was part of the holy trinity.
And there is no other NFL franchise that can boast they had three men, in the three most important positions\levels in operating a team, that had so much innovation and success, to where the NFL is what it is today because of their work.
