Cowboys Nostalgia Thread

[ravidubey]

Weird how Switzer objected to Troy chewing out Kevin Williams. That's pretty common when a receiver screws up a route. And then to make it racial.

Switzer was looking for anything he might actually contribute to the situation, and in doing so completely misread where Troy was coming from.

I read his autobiography, "Bootlegger's Boy" and in it Switzer clearly has this self-perception that he built his rep on looking past race by aggressively investing in the black athlete. That's where Barry himself thought he shined best, confronting racism.

Troy was not being racist, even if that's what some others might have thought.

Troy couldn't believe what he was hearing when Switzer called him into his office about it. He thought they were finally going to connect and align on goals, and then out of nowhere Switzer brings up this racism crap.

Williams had his moments (like the touchdown on Turkey Day vs Miami), but I remember him for two things:
fumbling a punt that kept the Giants in the game when we played them for the NFCE in '93, and fumbling a kickoff in the '94 Championship Game.

His game on Christmas night in ‘95 was bigger.

Irvin's stats were insane that year because, well, Williams was the #2. Not a mystery as to who's gonna get the ball.

Nothing really new. A one-stop shop for all previous documentaries, just with a Hans Zimmer Christopher Nolan soundtrack

Was cool to watch the enhanced quality 92 NFCC highlights not on VHS. Nice to hear unfiltered mic’d up audio with all the cussing

Surprised they didn’t focus more on the new stadium (art gallery, helllooooo) and its purpose built to max sponsorships/luxury suites that have shaped the NFL since.

Knew they wouldn’t, but would’ve liked to seen more analysis into the post-Jimmuh draft failures. Only mentioned once with an Aikman quote.

…and highlighting all the players off field scandals, you know they werent going to bring up Jerruh’s out-of-wedlock daughter.

Devoted a segment about Aikman’s racist accusations, convenient that Skip Bayless piled on that but didn’t mention his homo accusations

By the way, chuckled when Netflix’s doc had a segment titled Long, Long, Long Drought

Welcome back.

I think Washington was underappreciated but not sure on that one.

Washington had the splash plays, but Emmitt put the team on his back and took over coming out for the 2nd half and broke the Bills back. I have no problem with him getting the MVP.

Co-MVPs

Emmitt had a rule named after him because of that insane drive he led for Pete's sakes.

I've never seen anything like it

That didn’t go into effect until 97, mainly because he took his helmet off after both TDs in Super Bowl XXX. But I agree, should have been co-MVPs.

If anyone ever deserved to take their helmets off in any situation, it was that one for sure.

He broke the Bills coming at them play after play each one the defenders increasingly shying away from contact. I still can't recall any other serious NFL drive where variations of the same running play were called six times or whatever it was.

With Troy's face red and head fuzzy, Emmitt and the OL carried the pride of the team on their backs that drive. His taking his helmet off was all that pent up emotion exploding out. Fricking one of the greatest moments in Cowboys history.

 

[Irving Cowboy]

And the fact that they knew what was coming just about every play in that second half and still couldn’t figure out how to stop it gave him the edge over Washington.

Just watch. Fucking unbelievable

League MVP, coming at you bitches
