For me, no one could ever surpass Roger the Dodger Staubach, but I also loved Herschel Walker and Emmitt Smith. It makes me wish Roger could have played with those guys. For all these guys, I loved both their playing and who they are as human beings. They're guys I would love to hang out with.
True story about Roger. My grade school friend wrote to him and invited him to his birthday party. We were all excited wondering if Staubach would come to his party. He then received a letter saying he can't come because he has football practice and the coach won't let him off. Years later, when I was reading Staubach's autobiography, I saw where he published my friend's invitation letter and Staubach's reply to it. Of course we weren't mad at him for not coming to the party. We understood. It was really cool for my friend to get a letter from Roger Staubach.
