Old school Cowboys "spill the beans" interview

[Gorgon]

I would want to interview Charles Haley. I feel he would be the only guy to not sugar coat and blow smoke up this franchises you know what. Plus. Hes crazy so that would make it so much more entertaining.

There are actually some pretty good Haley interviews on youtube.

 

[khiladi]

Me too. That was a story that captured his passion to win and the reason why the Cowboys became an early dynasty, i.e., the coach (Jimmy Johnson) was accommodating to a player who would "rat" on slackers because he (Johnson) wanted to win that badly too.

Jimmy Johnson coached Michael Irvin in Miami, so Irvin knew what he was doing.

My list could on forever but I think Hollywood Henderson. All the talent in the world but a bad boy. Love to hear about how Landry dealt with him. What Doomsday was like. Questions about the Pittsburgh games etc. He was in a really cool period 75-79. Stories are probably insane

I would also ask him how in the world did he win 2 lotteries?

 

[Shane612]

I'd ask Lance Rentzel about his, er, proclivities.

That would be an awkward interview.

 

[GMO415]

This is impossible.

ok
Dandy just to hear after hours stories.

The best story he said once, they were flying back from a game and Ole Dandy had his whiskey in his hand. The plane was hitting some nasty weather and it wasn't looking good.

Ole Dandy raised his glas and said "Well, it's been fun Boys.". Hahaha

Yep!!

I'd ask Jackie Smith, how the heck did he drop that pass in the end zone that hit him right in the numbers

I got an audience with Bill Bates once and froze like a deer in the headlights. All I could do was shake his hand and I said something stupid like "thank you for your service".

 

[LatinMind]

I'd ask Emmitt bout the whole diamond surrounded by trash comment. One of my favorite players, but this never sat well with me.

And ask Larry what did Cortez say to make Larry punch him on national tv.

 

[fivetwos]

I would love to share a truth serum laced cocktail or three with Rich Dalrymple.

There’s where you find all the dirt.

Bet his silence cost Jerry a pretty nice severance package. Probably in the ten million range…..or as Jerry would say while trying to sound cool…”ten up.”

 

[JohnsKey19]

Mike and Deion...need I say more?

 

[Captain-Crash]

Just Landry

 

[bandfan]

"Drew, did you push off?"

 

[Pass2Run]

Easy answer: Irvin.

He was there for the Landry-Jimmy transition and the entire '90s run, plus right in the middle of the off-field shenanigans as well.

Irvin is such a clown, though.. Can't stand watching him embarrass Cowboy nation like he does on television.

 

[Hagman]

I'd want to talk to some of the old school guys who didn't talk all time to the press--just to hear that perspective.
I want to talk to offensive linemen John Niland and Blaine Nye.
On defense my hero Cornell Green.
