RIP Walt Garrison, a real Cowboy.

Majority of American non-smokers and non-chewers do not make it to age 79. So there is that to chew on.

R.I.P. Walt, one of my all-time favorite heroes. Bless his family. Garrison defined what it meant to be a Cowboy, a true NFL icon. So many great memories, thanks for all of them. Fans today have no idea what they’re missing.
Butkis, who just passed, once told a young Garrison that if he ran thru that line again “He’d bite his head off!” Without missing a beat Garrison replied “ That’ll be the first time you had any brains in your head.”

I saw him in a rodeo once in the mid-70s. How could you not be a fan of Walt Garrison?

Had the good fortune to know him personally. He was a good man. Everything you would want for a neighbor, employer, or friend. Very good man. Just the way you would expect him to be, a street shooting, honest talking, direct cowboy. Cowboy in the western sense. Once in mixed Company, a man told a dirty joke that was a little bit more ripe than you would ever want in front of women. In front of everybody, he used a calm voice and told the guy not to talk that way again in his presence. He had moral courage.

I used to be a Redskin fan back in the day, and as a young man at the same time, fully felt the animosity young fans often feel towards an arch rival.

I always respected Walt Garrison. He was hard-working, tough and reliable. The kind of running back I always wanted on my team.

But it was this play in 1973 when, with time running out, Kenny Houston stopped him right on the Goal line by picking Garrison bodily off the ground as time expired after he had caught a pass from Craig Morton that would have enable Dallas to tie the game, preserving the win for the Redskins.

I was gratified to read some of the posts here that validated my gut feeling about him all those years ago.
