Tom Landry was an amazing and humble man. The Cowboys of that era didn’t win all the time, but pretty close. RIP Gil. Tell Tom hello for all of us.

“Tom Landry was an amazing and humble man.”

He also had a wicked sense of humor.
Once during pregame warmups he ambled over to the other teams players and spoke to them while pointing at his running back Tony Dorsett. He then walked over to Tony and said “I told them you were the one that’s been talking all the garbage about them.” Dorsett didn’t know what to say as he hadn’t said a word in the papers, TV or radio. Landry just grinned.
