I’m really surprised there aren’t more Jerry Jones entries for #4. There were a lot of names to go with for the Cowboys, but he spans such a large timeframe that I thought he’d be a great pick. ---

There were a lot of names to go with for the Cowboys, but he spans such a large timeframe that I thought he’d be a great pick. Like I said in my entry (though I was thinking of Jimmy Johnson, and am slightly surprised that HE hasn’t gotten any mentions), there were so many names from the Jerry Jones/Jimmy Johnson era (Aikman, Smith, maybe even Michael Irvin) that it felt like he’d be crowded out; from the Landry era there’s basically Staubach and maybe Too Tall Jones, if only for the nickname. ---

There were a lot of names to go with for the Cowboys, but he spans such a large timeframe that I thought he’d be a great pick. There are a lot of other Cowboys who could have been picked, but Tom Landry, and his hat, stand as THE iconic image of the Cowboys. He was their coach for 28 years! ---

Rats. I was even picturing the SNL skit and still accidentally said Butkis. Butkis is a funnier word. ---

It appears I was the only person who thought Art Modell and Jim Brown were too close to call. Everyone else seems to feel the choice was obvious and unfortunately not the one I finally went with.
