Thanks so much for advocating on Bob Hayes behalf. That Bob Hayes sized hole in the Hall of fame is now filled.

Congrats to you on a great job.

On behalf of every Cowboys fan, thank you so much.

This was his response...


Rob,
Thanks for the note. Bob Hayes put himself in the Hall of Fame. I just helped remind everyone four decades later what a great player he was.
Rick Gosselin



He takes no credit, (but it is well deserved) and gives it all to Bob. Just thought it was a classy way to view his role in this. Glad he was on Bob's team today.

I got almost the exact same reply.

Thank you Mr. Gosselin. Job well done.

 

[bbgun]

Yep, we all owe him a huge debt of gratitude.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Goose and Dr Z deserve some credit for fighting the good fight for Bullet.

 

[cowboyjoe]

yep, i like the goose too

Hostile said that he emailed the goose too, and he was advocating for Bob Hayes

i also like the goose's nfl draft series, he is real good at that too

I love the sig pic.

Love it I tell you.

 

[big dog cowboy]

While I apreciate Gosselin's considerable effort, it's very frustrating that it takes such an effort to get such a deserving player his due.

 

[RoboQB]

Love it I tell you.

Yeah, that is awesome... makes him appear timeless.

Its cool, and probably true, that Staubach said Hayes would still be the fastest in the NFL if he played today.

 

[theebs]

Goose the gosselin known for football

way to go.

I believe he should have been in long time ago, but his past involving drugs and alcohol kept him out. You might not think that should have had anything to do with it, but reality doesn't always agree.

This should be a lesson to others - you can't just departmentalize your off-the-field life and on-the-field life.

Be that as it may, I'm glad another Cowboy is in the Hall of Fame.

^^^ you gotta be kidding me? You think Hayes drug probs kept him out?

give me a break here. That was not the problem.

It was. I've seen several stories that suggested as much.

Why do you think he didn't make it before now?

If you go on youtube and pull up Bob Hayes and find his anchor leg for the relay...it shows Bob Hayes matched up against Carl Lewis's anchor leg...there are people who swear that Bob Hayes anchor leg is still the fastest of all time. And he did it with borrowed spikes. Watching him run gives you chills man!

 

[BigDFan5]

I got the exact same reply from him

 

[AdamJT13]

Goose is now good for two things -- his top 100 draft prospects and helping Bob Hayes get in the Hall of Fame.

Did anyone else think it was hilarious when Bob Hayes' sister called him "Rick Gooselin"?

 

[J-DOG]

Yeah I laughed at that!
Hearing her say the words that Bob had written out...it felt like Bob was right there saying them...and I know he was.
