During a postgame interview with following that Super Bowl, CBS television announcer Tom Brookshier noted Thomas' speed and asked him, rhetorically, "Are you that fast?"
Thomas' response: "Evidently." - Duane Thomas following the Cowboys shellacking Miami 24-3 in the Super Bowl
You wouldn't necessarily be wrong to argue that the 1987 Essex Trojans, who greedily gobbled up three wins that year while fielding a TE/DE that would go on to have sex with a girl in a
Dairy Queen bathroom, had the best roster in the history of football, but
THIS GUY HERE says it was the 1971 Dallas Cowboys. I guess we'll hafta agree to disagree on this one. I just wish the two teams could line up on the field and go at it to finally decide this riddle once and for all. Ah well.
The Cowboys that year featured nine eventual Hall of Fame players, with Landry and team president/general manager Tex Schramm also winding up in Canton. When you add in longtime Cowboys assistant coach Ernie Stautner, who made the Hall as a standout defensive linemen for the Steelers in the 1950s and early '60s, an even dozen members of the organization that year have been enshrined.
