Cowboys Nostalgia Thread

Even weirder that they booed Aikman and cheered when Cunningham came out to replace him.

Yeah, I didn't like that.

It was Aikman's last season and he was struggling, but that was idiotic of our fans to do that.

I'm certain The Ernster Senior was one of those fans.

No respect for a legend. Dumbasses.

Same thing happens here.

We all respect Nuttzie. Don't we?

Garrett?

 

[Genghis Khan]

Garrett?

Witten, Ware, Tyron, etc.

 

[Plan9Misfit]

Damn straight.

I had a few seasons where I wanted the guy crippled and then we did the unthinkable and signed him. It was difficult.

My best friend is an Eagles fan, so I gave him Randall's Cowboys jersey as a birthday gift.

That was an awesome performance by Cunningham

Some in the Dallas media, JJT in particular, had called out that Aikman needed to be benched in favor of Cunningham, citing how he couldn’t play anymore.

Honestly it’s the main reason why Troy got no real play from the league after the Cowboys cut him following his last concussion.

I was thinking the same damn thing.

I recall San Diego (Norv Turner) gave him some interest before he decided to call it a day. They went with Doug Flutie and Troy retired.

Dude. Our fans have never been the smartest.

Aikman’s neck was fucked like Manning’s was, It would have worked though if he got to Turner. My question is was Norv retarded?

Yes. He was.

Any dumbass who chose the short plucky white guy over one of the most accurate passers of all time deserved every bit of their fate.

I don't think he did though. I think according to Aikman the Chargers wanted him but he ultimately decided to retire.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Well I was wrong, but according to Aikman it wasn't Norv's decision.


Before I got released from the Cowboys, but after I knew I was going to be released, I went out to San Diego to see Norv. I wound up going to Dean Spanos’ house, visited with him, saw the team’s president of football. I had dinner with Norv, and I remember sitting with Norv at the restaurant saying, “Gosh, I just wish I knew what the future held. These last few years in Dallas have been really hard, and I just don’t want to be put in another situation where we’re just not competitive. I just wish I had a crystal ball.”

Norv gave me one of those great talks, and he said, “The greatness of this is we don’t know, and as competitors, you don’t want to know. You want to lay it all on the line, take the risks, and see what can happen.”

I said, “You know, you’re right. I want to come here and play.” I was excited about it.

I had met everyone in the building except John Butler, the general manager who had come from Buffalo. Norv thought I was going to be offered a contract, but Butler had other plans. He was looking at Doug Flutie or Rob Johnson, whichever one Buffalo was going to cut. Buffalo wound up keeping Johnson.

Flutie gets released, and the next morning I get a call from Norv. I was in Santa Barbara and he says, “You’re not going to believe this, but we just signed Doug Flutie.” And I said, “Well, OK, that makes the decision easy for me. I’ll retire.” So I did.

Troy Aikman almost signed with Chargers after Cowboys released him

Tom Brady leaving the Patriots might not sound so far-fetched when you hear about how close Troy Aikman got to playing for the Chargers and Dolphins.
