28 years ago today, Roger Staubach announced his retirement. I was a skinny sophomore in HS who still dreamed I was him in my back yard like the song says.

Captain America, you're still the best IMO.

Wow! I am getting old. I was 10 at the time. If I am not mistaken or misremembered that Roger did not cry like Brett Favreeee.

I think he did. The great one's cry. Troy cried, which made me cry, ha.

Lets see the tape! Well maybe I did not see him cry because I did shed a tear or two.

He didn't cry like Favreeeee but he did tear up when he talked about the man in the funny hat. Pure class is what Roger has always been.

I remember it so well. I couldn't believe he would retire when he still was playing on such a high level. Of course, I was young so I didn't know what it felt like to grow old, like I do now.

I wish he could have gone out with a SB win.

I still have the newspaper article from that day. I will never forget coming home from school and my mom handing me that article. For a 10 year old boy, that was devastating.

I wonder how many people are Cowboys fans today because of Roger. He set the bar high.

 

[rathalarge]

I had just become a Cowboys' fan 2 years earlier, and I remember thinking how strange it was that the Cowboys didn't make it to the Super Bowl earlier that year in January. They lost to the Rams, and the Steelers won their 2nd consecutive title in Super Bowl 14. I think I'm correct. Fellow 'old timers', correct me if I'm wrong.

i was at his last tame vs the Rams. he completed his last pass to guard herb scott for an illegal touching penalty.

the dodger could have played a couple more years at a high level. it was very sad.

yes, he did cry...
