Greatest Dallas Cowboys Players of All Time

I watched Dallas play every Sunday from 1960 until 1985. It was kind of a religious thing; it was just what you did on Sundays. In the fall of '85, we moved from Houston to the San Francisco Bay area, I was working for Chevron.  I can remember tunning in the TV our first Sunday there. Got the jiffy pop and RC handy, arranged everything properly, all ready to watch Dallas.  To my amazement I couldn't find them anywhere. I clicked around but nothing. Where were the cowboys! I found the '49ers but who watches them! I can vividly remember the dread that came over me.  What was I going to do.  No Cowboys!  How can it be!
