Who is "Mr. Dallas", athlete-wise, to you?

Active or all time?Active would have to be Dirk, but Staubach all time

Thanks for participating... It would have been nice to see Staubach play and not just from clips, etc. Of course I appreciate his impact, just probably not fully. And the fact that he's all-around amazing person (from what i can tell) doesn't hurt.

Is Dirk really held in that high esteem in the Metroplex? I dont live in DFW, so Im curious as to why.

Bye-week topic fun topic, and I know it was done a year or so back in the DMN, but thought it would be fun to start again:

If you were to give the title of "Mr/Ms. Dallas" representing the best of Dallas sports to someone (beloved, identifiable, deserving of the title), who would it be? Also if you could list your era/age I think that would be interesting.

For me, and its not even close, its Dirk.

I'm 36, so I was prime time youth for the 90s Superbowls, pre-mid 80s is too early for me.
