Your Most Inspirational Cowboy

[GenoT]

A lot of great choices here!

Even though we’ve been in a championship drought for way too long, our legacy of distinguished players is both rich and deep.

Looking forward to next season.

Go Cowboys!

I think a lot of people assign too much meaning to the word "inspiration". As an artist, I can be inspired by a thunderstorm, a great speech, the sight of a beautiful woman, or just a simple shape I see in the pattern of wallpaper.

In this sense, my signature makes it clear that Emmitt is the Cowboy by whom I've been the most inspired.

Inspiration isn't necessarily life changing.

thats you definition I choose to make person(s) who actually live up to the definition of inspiring to my list like Nelson Mandela and like I said keeping it in sports realm Pat Tillman GAVE UP millions to go basically give his life for FREE for his country..

Excellent choice and reasoning.

Yeah, how does anyone top that?

But it does remind me that Staubach has helped a lot of his former teammates too. Obviously not giving body parts, but it's worthwhile viewing for anyone to watch the episode of "A Football Life" on Staubach. Hollywood Henderson, for one, credits Staubach with helping him out of addiction and poverty, and others said Staubach helped them in their lives after football as well, some of whom were down on their luck.

Emmitt Smith

If my life depended on winning a game I want him in the backfield.

I go with Bates a guy whose had to fight for a job every year he played yet played for 15 seasons.

I'm not sure I can pick just one player as there are many great candidates. But, ultimately, I'm going to go with Staubach!!

 

[TexasHillbilly]

Tom Rafferty.
opened holes for Tony D...and later...Herschel.
played OG then moved to Center.
arguably our greatest.
a true Cowboy.
a pro's pro...a man's man.
gave Coach Landry the game ball in '88 after beating the skins at RFK...it would be Coach's last win.
an all-time good'n.

I always liked the D line during the doomsday days but Harvey Martin was a beast.

I did meet Randy White once. Him and the wife came into the restaurant one afternoon about 2pm. They were the only ones there. He is a big fella.

I'm not white. I'm brown

That is a societal term.
My regards to Bahgdad.

Don't know anything about that. I guess I'm lucky.

Roger. Pure class.

 

[GMO415]

Roger Staubach without question. Nobody’s perfect, but he’s about as close as you can get imo.

I love Romo and Dak's stories a lot. Neither one of those guys were ever supposed to be an NFL starter.

Emmitt inspired me a lot as a kid though. There's something admirable about a guy as goal oriented as emmitt.

Honestly, the fact that Dak and Romo were never supposed to be starters makes them all that more inspirational, to me. JMHO.

It's Darren Woodson for me.

By the way, Woody belongs in the Hall Of Fame. He was surrounded by so many other big names in the 1990's people tend to forget about him, and that's a shame.

 

[Einstein]

Everson Walls, loved his play on the field, and gave Ron Springs one of his kidneys.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Don't know anything about that. I guess I'm lucky.

God is great as you fellas say it.

 

[Auggie22]

Tony Dorsett

 

[Ranching]

God is great as you fellas say it.

I knew it!!! I knew you weren't a fella! Now I understand.

 

[td33simplythebest]

Does coaches count?
Because if they do I choose Tom Landry.

Flew B-17s in WW2

I could not agree with you more
