@TracesofTexas I’ve always liked Landry’s description of Walt Garrison: If you block it for one, he’ll get you three. And if you block it for five, he’ll get you three. 19 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@TracesofTexas I got to see Tom Landry speak at my friend’s church about 30 years ago. He said Christ was the most important in his life, NOT football.

@TracesofTexas I remember watching them all play for Landry except Dandy Don. Loved him in the broadcast booth with Gifford + Cosell. As Edith & Archie sang … Those were the days 🎶💙🤍💙🤍 44 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
