Who remembers the Strike season

[nyc-cowboy]

This is random, but since we going down memory lane....

Did anyone get a Paul Krause flashback watching the Minn player #22 running around the secondary Sunay night?

A buddy of mine from HS started at QB for the Cardinals as a scrub and beat Joe Montana and SF. He's been a scout for the Cowboys about 20 years after starring in the CFL.

Had to look him up. He had a great career. Or is having a great career.

I believe it started free agency. Start of the salary cap. So many games ,so many seasons. What is your one biggest memory about the NFL. Or the Dallas Cowboys.

Where did this topic come from? Strike season was 87. Unfortunately the Skins won the SB that season. They beat us with their scabs. Those were just the pitiful talent less Cowboy teams under Landry. I was in elementary school and it was all Skins all the time here. I mean them and the Niners really owned the 80’s.
Hogeboom, Pelluer, Danny White with a broken wrist. Old broken defense, we had Everson Walls and some names in Randy White, Too Tall.

If it was a strike season, the Football Team did. They only way they have. 2 for 2 in strike seasons. 1 for every other season without a strike.

I mean they did make a SB in the 70’s they also lost to the Raiders in 84. I think the 84 game was the first SB I watched from start to finish. Man the Raiders under Flores just smoked the Skins that game.

That my freshman year in college.

I watched all the games I could, but that was just before the advent of the satellite/sports bar revolution if you will...at least where I was.

No matter how bad those years were I watched when available, although I do recall a night game vs Minnesota in 1988 that I had to shut off lol.

Early September 1990 I recall calling the local sports bar asking if they would actually show Dallas/San Diego if I showed up there. They did. I couldn't believe it.

I had to work a few Sundays that season, including the last one when Babe Laufenberg was terrible in Atlanta.....

But that was the last game I didn't attend or see on TV and I'm proud of that, but I think some folks around here have me beat.

I remember 2, which one are you interested in

my biggest memory is the damn Football Team won the SB both times and in my opinion had unfair advantages due to each strike

really???? I cant say the name of the team from washington when referring to the 80s? seriously? Would someone sue? It is a comment from history I am not saying anything offensive,
all due respect but it is dumb to say the Dolphins lost to the Football Team in SB 16 I just hope that was software that changed it and not a human who went through the trouble to change it. I think your decision is wrong and frankly offensive to me to suggest I said something inappropriate. It was their name

There were two strike seasons, '82 and '87.

Then the game we probably would like to forget.

I was at the Jets Cowboys game in 1987. The best seat in the house cost 20 bucks.
