Gee, give me some time to compile the list! I stopped after perusing the first 33 pages of search results from Google, and that was only with one search (Dallas Cowboy arrest). So, here you are:

DB Dwayne Goodrich, felony manslaughter after killing two people while driving through an accident scene at 110 mph, Jan. 2003
OL Nate Newton, arrested with 213 lbs of marijuana in November 2001, and then with 175 lbs the following month
DL Harvey Martin, arrested after a crack binge for assaulting his girlfriend, Aug. 1996, his third arrest in five months for the same crime
WR Lance Rentzel, arrested for exposing himself to a 10-year old girl, November 1970
PK Rafael Septien, arrested for sexually assaulting a 10-year old girl, January 1987
WR Bob Hayes served 10 months in jail for selling drugs following his arrest in 1979
DL Larry Bethea was arrested for assaulting his estranged wife in 1986, then charged for stealing $64,000 from his mother’s home, then committed suicide in April 1987
OL Mark Tuinei, found dead from a heroin overdose in his car less than a year after being cut from the team, after spending a night on the town with Cowboy reserve FB Nicky Sualua, May 1999
LB Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson, arrested and charged with sexual assault and false imprisonment after exchanging crack for sex with two minors, one of whom was wheelchair-bound
Coach Barry Switzer arrested for trying to board an aircraft with a loaded revolver, August 1997
WR Michael Irvin with several arrests, the most famous one involving a retired Dallas player, two "self-employed models," and a great deal of cocaine and marijuana, and a fight in training camp in which he slashed Everitt McIver's throat, and the victim was paid off by Owner Jerry Jones to stay quiet
Emmitt Smith, arrested for drunk driving
Owner Jerry Jones, arrested for fleeing the scene while a police officer was still writing a ticket
DL Leon Lett, with five violations of the NFL substance abuse policy and suspensions totaling over twenty games
RB Sherman Williams, arrested for conspiracy in a counterfeiting and drug trafficking ring, April 2000
LB Darren Hambrick, arrested for resisting arrest after being pulled over for speeding
WR Alvin Harper, arrested while in possession of two stolen vehicles
OL Erik Williams avoided trial by settling out of court with a 17-year old girl after allegations of sexual assault
RB Larry Brown, a former Super Bowl MVP, was released from jail after agreeing to pay back $44,000 in bad checks he had written to several Las Vegas casinos
CB Clayton Holmes, suspended for drug abuse, 1995
CB Dexter Clinkscale was charged with sexually assaulting an 18-year old man, April 1998

Now, show me a list of 21 players from another NFL team charged with manslaughter, large-scale drug trafficking, sexual assault of minors and 18-year old boys, etc. I know that not all of these arrests occured during their playing days in Dallas, but it does show a pattern of Cowboys' players character.

LOL!! You say that the "rot goes back decades." All but five of the names you give me played in the last ten years, long after Landry was gone. Of the five who played under Landry, three "violations" occurred after they left the team.

I'm not about to defend the Cowboys under Jerry Jones. He allowed clowns such as Switzer and Campo to tolerate outright criminals like Erik Williams.

But let's can the hyperbole on the Landry era.

Here is your list of Redskins from a quick search.

Jermaine Haley- DUI May 2003
Mike Sellers- DUI and Drugs 2001
Daryl Russell- 20 counts of rape and suspended by NFL for substance abuse 2001. DUI in 1999
Bruce Smith - DUI 1996
Dexter Manley - Drugs many times, the latest being 2003
Skip Hicks- Illegally having a handicap sticker. Found drugs in car. 2001
Christian Peter- Beating his girlfriend 1997, Drunk and disorderly 1998, Assault 1999
Kenyata Jones - Burning his roommate 2003
Lional Dalton - Drugs and DUI 2002
Daryl Gardner - Drugs 1998
Barry Wilburn - Armed Robbery 2001
Terry Allen - Felony evading law enforcement and DUI 1997
Michael Westbrook - assault 1999
Ray McDonald - Having sex with a man in public 1968
Jerry Smith - soliciting prostitute(male prostitute)1970
Dana Stubblefield - beating his wife 2000
Raphel Cherry - convicted of murder (strangled his wife) 1999
Reggie Coleman - Drugs 2001
Coy Bacon - Drugs and weapons 1983
Laverneous Coles - Shoplifting 1999

There is your list of 21 or more players. I would consider murder to trump a few of the Cowboys chargers. Not all of these players were arrested as Deadskin players. Some were in college and after their playing days in the NFL. I thought your team was the one who never kept shady characters around? Geez, now Mr Kettle meet Mr Pot.
