As a Redskins fan, I also miss Tom Landry. When the ‘Skins beat the Cowboys in his era, it felt like a real accomplishment.

Love or hate them at least you had to respect them during the Landry/Staubach days. Now just the opposite.

Trivia Fact:

That bit at the end where he says “Do I know you?” is not rehearsed. Landry actually DID recognize the man in that uniform.

It was former Pittsburgh Steeler Ernie Holmes, who had fallen on hard times in his life after his little shooting escapade with the Ohio Highway Patrol. He had taken a job as an extra and Landry recognized him.
