I heard a great interview today on WFAN in NY with Tony Dorsett. Couple of intersting parts:
1. When he was set to be drafted, Tampa Bay had already said they were taking Ricky Bell # 1. Seahawks were # 2. He really didnt want to play in Seattle behind an expansion offensive line. So he and his agents made sure to get it out into the media that if Seattle took him, he was going to play in Canada. Then the deal went down and he couldnt believe it.
2. The 99 yd TD against Minnesota. It was his fault that Dallas had only 10 players on the field. When he was on the sideline, he was told what the first play was going to be. He messed up and thought it was a single back formation. He ran onto the field and saw Ron Springs in the huddle. He told him to get off the field, so Springs left. Tony then said that after the game Springs told him that as soon as the play started, he realized he was supposed to be on the field and was going to jump in and start blocking, but was pretty sure they'd call a penalty. LOL. Then Dorsett says...So sooner or later, there will be a long TD run to match mine, but I can always say that it took them 11 players and it only took 10 Cowboys to pull it off.
