Cowboys Nostalgia Thread

Aikman was a Jedi in the post season.

Until about January 1997

The Golden Age.

Absolutely destroyed Lorenzo Lynch after he talked all that shit.

He didn't know he was messing with a dog.

NFL Network is replaying the 1999 Cowboys-Redskins game right now. First half just ending.

This is why we can't have nice threads.

1971 NFCC. Great quality.

Unforgettable ballyhooing about passing up Randy Moss in the 98 draft; I’ll rekindle another draft overlook. I recall many were upset about 1996 passing up Tony Brackens, although moreso cuz he was a Longhorn.

While Brackens wasn’t the caliber of HOFer Moss, I wonder if he could’ve been enough to effect few more playoff wins from 96-2000.

Looking back, adding a 3rd rounder to move down 7 spots is pretty good value generally, but I recall Brackens being a notably higher rated prospect than Pittman.

• April 20, 1996: Traded 1996 1st round pick (30th overall, Andre Johnson) to Redskins for 1996 2nd round pick (37th overall, Kavika Pittman) and 1996 3rd round pick (67th overall, Clay Shiver)

I could have done without being reminded of Clay Shiver.

His sucky ass taught me how fortunate we had been at the position that I never knew what a bad one in a Cowboy uni looked like.

That was great. Classic NFL Films. Hard to believe the Niners only got inside the Cowboys 40 twice all day.

Post-1990, how many Cowboys starters have made the Pro Bowl after they’ve left the Cowboys in free agency?

I can think of three

That's good stuff, Phil.

[Spaulding]

The RB GOAT.

 

[Texas Ace]

That was all in the 99 season where he basically played the entire year on one foot/leg.

Just a remarkable athlete.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Best CB ever, and I don't think it's close.

And probably the best PR ever.
