Don’t give up on professional sports in the USA. It’s not the fault of sports for the greed of the people. I’m 47 from San Antonio Tx. So need I say TD#1 , Earl #2 for me. Yes I talk about many differences in sports today. Then I realize sports and the love of the game only keep me entertained. After all ironic as it maybe. Tom Brady ended up a Buc then wins a super bowl. I use to love Brady as a Wolverine. Hated him as a patriot. I believe his 1 trophy belong to the other Wolverine. A 1 Charles Woodson. Then Brady ends up playing for my third favorite team. And wins a super bowl. Yes bucs, right after Dallas, then the giants. 👀 now I’m just supportive of the younger players and the love of the game.
@@telvinjones1823 hold up hold up!? You can't call your favorite team your favorite team and then turn around and favorite a rival (let alone a division rival) team to the first team you called your favorite ! It doesn't work that way. Now I can see calling two teams from different CONFRENCES BUT YOU SORTA SCREWED YOURSELF BY CALL8NG OUT THE Dallas Cowboys as your favorite, because even in the AFC teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers look at Dallas as a legitimate rival even though they only play now once every 4 years!! Unless they meet in the big game at the end of the season. The entire NFL had marked the Dallas Cowboys as the ONE team they must beat when given their opportunity I couldn't imagine even sorta kinda in a way feeling a likeness for another team I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan for life.... the greatest sports franchise ever Dear God? Let the 3rd Dynasty begin!
Tony Dorsett has been my favorite “runner” forever. He had the prettiest stride there was. He didn’t make a whole lot of movies, just one or two and GONE!! Speeeeed!!!
What a joy to watch this. I saw every single one of those as a kid. He was one of my all time fav Cowboy players. No one ran the ball as smoothly as Dorsett. Great balance and quick stop and start. He was a real joy to watch.
I remember as a kid he was one of the reasons I became a lifelong Cowboys fan. His form, his style, his speed, the way he held the ball out to his side when scoring 6. Now this gives me a whole new respect & appreciation for the man. Thanks for making this!
Thanks 👍 he was before my time, but I can tell just by watching him he was a very talented running back. Cowboys have had so many throughout there history it amazes me.
Tony Dorsett was not only fast, but at 5"10' and 183 lbs, he was the strongest man in the NFL one year. He out lifted everyone, including Defensive Ends. I saw it, but I couldn't believe it, he surprised everyone!
The most fluid running back I’ve ever seen. And underrated for his toughness. I hate the Cowboys but I know greatness when I see it. Childhood memories
My favorite athlete in the whole wide world nothing beats Tony dorsett for me is my favorite athlete of all time and if he had the line that emmitt Smith had he would have rushed property nearly 30,000 yards I truly believe that
@@zeppelinfan9360 He's rank #10 all-time Rushing Leaders in NFL history did I mention he won the Heisman in college plus he's in the NFL Hall of Fame and he's rank#77 The Top 100 NFL Greatest Player you couldn't hold his jockstrap waterboy !!! LoL 😂😂😂🏈🏈🏈
Tony dorsett was the greatest 185 lb running back I ever saw and my favorite running back in cowboy history haven't seen one like him before or after and in this age where you can't hit anybody he'd even be better.
Tony left his heart on the field he brought so much joy to my childhood thanks TD Cte has taken his later years but I know we all appreciate it as fans. Feel better Tony 👉🏽🏆
We don't appreciate shit. We complain that hard hits are penalties now. We want the players to continue to kill themselves for our enjoyment, then bitch when they get hurt, and have to sit out. "What is he made of, GLASS?"
How is that possible? I guess if I could have all of the respect in the world of Darrell Green and feel that Theismann was one of the most underrated QB’s in the league, then....... Maybe you’re from Pittsburgh?
Back in the day, I knew 45 of the Cowboys’ names and number BECAUSE I was such a fan of Tony Dorsett. My favorite football player of all time. It was so nice watching this video of (most of) his career Dallas Cowboys touchdowns. Brought back a lot of memories.
Tony D is one of the best running backs that every played football. Speed kills. My favorite run of all times is the 99 yard run on Monday Night Football!! Mr. T.D
TD was such a beautiful player to watch, his style was so smooth with little shifts here and there and then boom he was gone. Amazing talent in an era that didn't have many players like him. Thanks for honoring him and his greatness I think he gets overlooked a lot when people talk about the greatest RB's of all time. Tony deserves to atleast be in the conversation. Yes I'm a diehard Cowboys fan and will be for life and I still wear his jersey every Sunday, my favorite Cowboys player ever.
When Tony D hit the adrenaline pedal, look out. He had world-class acceleration. On a football field, that can be as little as 2-3 yards, but it means everything. He was truly a special athlete.
Tony was that dude. My offensive coordinator in HS Chris Legrie played with Tony at Pitt. I use to love to hear Coach Legrie's stories about him. He once told me that Tony didn't really practice. He would just sit there on a beach chair with sunglasses on & the coach would just call him in to the practice field to return kick returns & he said he would just score everytime. I don't know how true this story is but it sounded cool at the time.
I think my favorite run of his, and one I'll always remember watching, was the the TD at St. Louis, where he runs toward the center of the line, suddenly spins around and takes it to the outside. The Cardinals defense collides into itself, and Tony runs to the left and scores. I will never forget that day. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
The man scored from every point on the field. In my opinion he is the G.O.A.T. 99, 84, 77, 60, 55, 40, 33, 28, 17, and 2. There is no other running back in the history of the NFL can say that.
Plus pass reception touchdowns from every distance but 80's. Ironically Ron Springs, Herschel Walker and Emmitt Smith all had one in the 80's. Emmitt's wasn't a touchdown though so that one don't count I guess, Aneas Williams messed it up.
I forgot how good this guy was. Great video. So many great RBs in the late 70's early 80's.....Dorsett, Payton, Cambell, Dorsett, Sims, Riggins, Andrews, Montgomery, Harris, Cribbs, Czonka.......I know I'm missing many others. The NFL's golden era for RBs.
Tony D...I still to this date remember Monday Night Football on couch with my dad and Dorsett took off for 99 yards verse the Vikings. Awesome!!! To me these were the days...
My husband tells the story all the time about how when he was a kid watching that game and Howard Cosell saying you can't run on this Viking defense about the time Roger Staubach handed the ball to Tony Dorsett and 99 an a half yards later Tony Dorsett was in the end zone. What a Beautiful run that was and Cosell shut up!
I like how you feature the long yardage tds and the short yardage tds as well. A lot of people did not think Dorsett read though runner in between the tackles because he was a cut back runner. But I am going to say he was a tough runner in between the tackles because he hit the hole so fast. He knew when to take a hit and not to take a hit that is why his career lasted do long without major injuries.
Robert Newhouse was underrated period. One of my all time favorite Cowboys. Even with Dorsett as the featured back, Newhouse still had a thousand yard season and that was when there were only 12 regular season games. He broke his leg and was never given a fair chance to come back as a starter, IMO because Tom Landry was eager to start Ron Springs.
@@aaropajari7058 You’re right, my mistake. I just checked. Once, in 1975, he had 930. I remember a season where the announcers kept talking about Tony and Newhouse possibly both having 1,000 yard season but I checked the stats and it never happened. My bad. Guess my memory told me that it did. Still one of my favorite Cowboys though. He did everything the team asked of him.
@@Earl_Richter Couldnt agree more. Would have loved a Newhouse 1000 yard season, or 1000 for both like the Dolphins and Steelers managed once. He did everything, including throwing touchdown passes in the Superbowl. You clearly have a great appreciation for real players.
#33 - My favorite Cowboy of all time. He was so electric, quick, and flowed across the field with tremendous vision. TD was a scoring threat from anywhere on the field!
From old school So CA football fan. The Dallas Cowboys with Tony in the backfield; what can I say but inspiring to even casual fans. I loved Tony and those Cowboys. I think of the Troy Aikman teams with the same admiration; real classics.
Thank you to whom ever put this on, I am from Phoenix, been a Cowboy fan since 1969, of the oldies, Staubach and TD Dorsett were two of my favorite players, they drafted him in 1980, out of Pitspurgh Pitt. I remember bragging about it that we had him, he measured up to the hype and some. He looks taller in video than I remembered, the uniforms made their legs look sleek and thin, the shoulder pads were huge, lol. That was a lot of LONG touchdowns, the only running back that eclipsed him was Emmitt whom is also my favorite player along with Aikman and that entire team from the early 90's. WooHooo!!!!
They draft him in 19 76 or 77 I was 12 years old he was rookie of the year 1977, I think he only played in half the NFL games and still got 1,001 yards
@@williamivery212 I stand corrected, it was 1977. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I was 15 and I guess a sophomore, That makes more sense.
@@carycase5563 it's okay when we get over 50 our memory sometimes forget ,🤣but those were the good old days when we use to sit around the TV and watch the Dallas cowboys every Sunday and on Mondays and Thanksgiving. Doing them years they made the playoffs every year or the super bowl 😅
@@williamivery212 You got that right, and it's not going to get better, lol, I live in Phoenix, so we didn't have a football, Baseball or Basketball team, so when I was 7 years old, my favorite teams were the teams they showed on TV all the time. The Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Lakers and the Cincinnati Reds. The only team that is still my favorite are the Cowboys, I follow the Suns and Diamondbacks, but also follow The Arizona Cardinals. The NFL gave the Cowboys exposure and that is why they are Americas team. Like you said, they were on TV every week.
Tony Dorsett! Prettiest running back I ever saw! The man could fly! Growing up in the late 70’s in Texas, every kid wanted to be either Tony Dorsett or Roger Staubach. The Dallas Cowboys was like religion back then. I met Tony many years later when I was working at KWES-TV, NewsWest 9 in Midland, Texas (1996 ish). I saw him in the hallway one day and that made my year. He was super nice and still looked like he could run 100 yards at a dead sprint. Made the little kid in me remember watching my hero on TV. Why can’t sports still be that way today?
What a super athlete...he had so much class and super fast. Loved to watch him kick in the speed and just leave the opposition behind. Miss watching him play...
The greatest home run back ever. Have there been faster RB’s? In forty years I have never seen one . Track times are track times. Pads on firing through the line TD was into the back like no other. And Dallas fans think Zeke is great. Oh boy !!
@@lwmson OJ was not faster than Tony Dorsett and Dickerson was only 3 tenths of a second faster witch puts them almost dead even in which Dorsett was quicker
Tony Dorsett was blessed by God..... with STUPID speed..He didn't need to juke or shake you..He could flat out fly... And his running style....was built for speed.. Drug of choice...SPEED.. Favorite saying...SPEED kills.. Advantages...Human cheat code.. Favorite move...reach under his jersey and press the Blur button 🔘.. 😆😂😆..Printing on the front of his jersey said ( HELLO) back of his jersey said ( GOOD BYE)... Going and Coming at the same time....
Tony Dorsett is my favorite all-time favorite RB and football player.he bursts through holes without wasted movement and the haul ass showcasing all of that speed.
Dr. Dorsett! My God this Man was the most Graceful, Beautiful Pure Running Back, that I've ever had the pleasure to watch. God Bless You Touchdown Tony D.
My favorite player growing up. I loved his spin move just before he makes contact with the defensive player, spins off them and changes direction. Defensive player falls over.
the greatest Cowboys running back of all time Tony D. You held your breathe every time he got ball, because he could score at minute from anywhere on the field
Best Cowboys running back I ever saw play was Tony Dorsett, I was born 1962 became a fan 1968 my step father rooted for the packers being all the lumps I took being a step-son I chose the Cowboys soon as I truly understood the game Dorsett was the most feared we ever had at running back positions any play running or receiving could go the distance and boy did he 99 yard run 90 yard receiving touchdowns he could do it all only thing I seen emit was block better but I take Tony Dorsett my lead back aby day .thanks for the thrills T.D😂😂😂😂
His speed was mesmerizing, he found the openings with ease. Refused to be denied. He looked Faster than everyone else on the field offense and defense. They used him a lot in the passing game. Now package this video and Emmitt's highlights and send them to Moore, Mccarthy and Zeke.
The greatest Cowboy in my mind. The whole reason I am a Cowboy fan is because of him. The greatest college football player of all time. Where ever he got drafted was going to be my team for life. Lord I’m glad I’m a COWBOY FAN. THANK YOU FOR THE PLEASURE TO WATCH THE GIFT YIU GAVE THE FOOTBALL WORLD.
It was sweet that his initials were TD as in Touchdown but if his initials were SB they would stand for SONIC BOOM! So if there was ever a loud boom in the stadium when the Cowboys played that was just Dorsett breaking the sound barrier 💥! As a matter of fact if Dorsett was a car parked next to a Corvette, I'd rather drive the Dorsett.............hummm a Chevy Dorsett! Great acceleration, good braking, handles corners, 0-60 in 1.5 seconds, great top end speed, longevity I'm sold!
Unbelievable how many touchdowns he scored without being tackled. If he had played 15 years later in the age of the one back system he would have 20,000 yards. Hardest running North/South running back under 200 pounds in history. Tough as nails. My favorite running back of all time.
Tony Dorsett was so fast it was crazy. He was at top speed with just two steps. If Landry would have split him out wide a lot more as a receiver they would have won a lot more games because there was not a corner in the league that could match his speed.
Think you for the video 📹 of the Greatest Dallas Cowboys Franchise RB, ever to live,( Emmitt Smith played behind the best offensive line ever ) . Tony Dorsett was a great Legend RB, ,and is the Greatest College running back ever to live to. Their will never be another like him , TD. , Heisman Trophy winner 🏆, College Legend and University of Pittsburgh Panthers Greatest RB, and The Dallas Cowboys Franchise Historical history Greatest 👍, no question asked.
Never really seen a big highlights clip of Dorsett. Thanks for posting. This is a really great watch. He’s so, so smooth and for a relatively small guy, it’s impressive that he was not afraid to stick his head in the trenches. There are two things that really strike me watching it, though. Firstly, I can’t believe how fast he is. It’s that easy kind of speed where he doesn’t look like he’s really trying. Secondly, Darrell Green must have been RIDICULOUSLY fast…
I believe Emmitt was more of a warrior, but Dorsett as a superior athelete could go...literally...99 yards to score. Personally my favorite was Herschel Walker.
This brought back good memories of watching the games on Sunday and Monday morning homeroom its Dallas fans against Steelers fans about who's the best. Dorsett and Big Franco Harris!🤜🏿🤛🏿
Great job I'm putting this video together I would be willing to bet you could ask the commentators do you like most enjoyed watching and calling games and it'd be the Dallas Cowboys and Tony Dorsett you could hear it in their voices they get excited watching him like the rest of us I guess you're the man Tony🙏

Thank you! I know this was a labor of love. I used to care about football, and these Dallas Cowboys especially. This highlights clip shows the stark contrast to what the game is today: a game of non-excitement. Dorsett was one of the most exciting backs ever, and he's lucky to have played during a time when his talent could be expressed this way.
I don't give a rat's ass about any professional sports anymore, but this was a joy to watch.
Thanks Bill, I appreciate it 👍🙏. Dorsett was an amazing runner.
Don’t give up on professional sports in the USA. It’s not the fault of sports for the greed of the people. I’m 47 from San Antonio Tx. So need I say TD#1 , Earl #2 for me. Yes I talk about many differences in sports today. Then I realize sports and the love of the game only keep me entertained. After all ironic as it maybe. Tom Brady ended up a Buc then wins a super bowl. I use to love Brady as a Wolverine. Hated him as a patriot. I believe his 1 trophy belong to the other Wolverine. A 1 Charles Woodson. Then Brady ends up playing for my third favorite team. And wins a super bowl. Yes bucs, right after Dallas, then the giants. 👀 now I’m just supportive of the younger players and the love of the game.
Well put!
All they have to do now is break 1 tackle or make 1 move, & then they still can't hardly outrun the secondary, TD was Smooth as Silk

He went from 0 to full speed pretty fast
He had tremendous speed.
THAT was Dorsett in a nutshell. "Pretty fast" indeed.
Sure miss those days of yesteryears! Thanks TD, Roger for all the wonderful memories.
The man scored from every point on the field. In my opinion he is the G.O.A.T. 99, 84, 77, 60, 55, 40, 33, 28, 17, and 2. There is no other running back in the history of the NFL can say that.

@@williamivery212 I stand corrected, it was 1977. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I was 15 and I guess a sophomore, That makes more sense.
@@williamivery212 I don't know why I said 1980, he played in the Super bowl against the Broncos in 1978 which they won 27 - 10.
@@carycase5563 it's okay when we get over 50 our memory sometimes forget ,🤣but those were the good old days when we use to sit around the TV and watch the Dallas cowboys every Sunday and on Mondays and Thanksgiving. Doing them years they made the playoffs every year or the super bowl 😅
@@williamivery212 You got that right, and it's not going to get better, lol, I live in Phoenix, so we didn't have a football, Baseball or Basketball team, so when I was 7 years old, my favorite teams were the teams they showed on TV all the time. The Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Lakers and the Cincinnati Reds. The only team that is still my favorite are the Cowboys, I follow the Suns and Diamondbacks, but also follow The Arizona Cardinals. The NFL gave the Cowboys exposure and that is why they are Americas team. Like you said, they were on TV every week.
Tony Dorsett! Prettiest running back I ever saw! The man could fly!
Growing up in the late 70’s in Texas, every kid wanted to be either Tony Dorsett or Roger Staubach. The Dallas Cowboys was like religion back then.
I met Tony many years later when I was working at KWES-TV, NewsWest 9 in Midland, Texas (1996 ish). I saw him in the hallway one day and that made my year. He was super nice and still looked like he could run 100 yards at a dead sprint. Made the little kid in me remember watching my hero on TV.
Why can’t sports still be that way today?
What a super athlete...he had so much class and super fast. Loved to watch him kick in the speed and just leave the opposition behind. Miss watching him play...
I've been a Cowboys fan for 45 years, win or lose, there has never been a better backfield team than #33 and #44 , both football Greats
That bring me many memories watching the great running backs of the 70 and 80 . Tony Dorsett was my favorite one. What a great runner.
What a long beautiful highlight reel. Fun to watch the special ones work.
Thanks 👍.
My favorite football player of all time! The great almighty Tony Dorsett! 99 1/2 yards baby!!!!!! GO COWBOYS!!!!!!
The greatest home run back ever. Have there been faster RB’s? In forty years I have never seen one . Track times are track times. Pads on firing through the line TD was into the back like no other. And Dallas fans think Zeke is great. Oh boy !!
TD was my favorite running back of all times.. Until I found out that he could reach under his jersey and hit the Blur button... 😂
And so many times he was on cruise control after busting thru the line. His acceleration was just tremendous.
Well, OJ, Eric Dickerson, and Hershel Walker were faster RBs. But TD is still one of the greatest.
@@lwmson OJ was not faster than Tony Dorsett and Dickerson was only 3 tenths of a second faster witch puts them almost dead even in which Dorsett was quicker
@@anthonydavis2190 I remember when TD ran a 9.5 int he 100 yd dash to win the Superstar competition, when the Juice ran it in 1974, he did a 9.4.
God bless Tony Dorsett. 10/30/21
Tony Dorsett was blessed by God..... with STUPID speed..He didn't need to juke or shake you..He could flat out fly... And his running style....was built for speed.. Drug of choice...SPEED.. Favorite saying...SPEED kills.. Advantages...Human cheat code.. Favorite move...reach under his jersey and press the Blur button 🔘.. 😆😂😆..Printing on the front of his jersey said ( HELLO) back of his jersey said ( GOOD BYE)... Going and Coming at the same time....
It's so true. Tony didn't need to make "moves" most of the time. He would just bait people into taking one wrong step and he had them.
My idol growing up... I wanted to be just like him. The Best!!!
Tony Dorsett is my favorite all-time favorite RB and football player.he bursts through holes without wasted movement and the haul ass showcasing all of that speed.
Dr. Dorsett! My God this Man was the most Graceful, Beautiful Pure Running Back, that I've ever had the pleasure to watch. God Bless You Touchdown Tony D.
My favorite player growing up. I loved his spin move just before he makes contact with the defensive player, spins off them and changes direction. Defensive player falls over.
the greatest Cowboys running back of all time Tony D. You held your breathe every time he got ball, because he could score at minute from anywhere on the field
Mr. "Look Out" himself!!!. How many times did the announcers say "Look out" when he got into the open field?
Or GOODBYE!
Best Cowboys running back I ever saw play was Tony Dorsett, I was born 1962 became a fan 1968 my step father rooted for the packers being all the lumps I took being a step-son I chose the Cowboys soon as I truly understood the game Dorsett was the most feared we ever had at running back positions any play running or receiving could go the distance and boy did he 99 yard run 90 yard receiving touchdowns he could do it all only thing I seen emit was block better but I take Tony Dorsett my lead back aby day .thanks for the thrills T.D😂😂😂😂
His speed was mesmerizing, he found the openings with ease. Refused to be denied. He looked Faster than everyone else on the field offense and defense. They used him a lot in the passing game. Now package this video and Emmitt's highlights and send them to Moore, Mccarthy and Zeke.
One of my childhood heroes.
This just makes me feel happy.
Thanks so much for the time & love to share this.
I still watch old football games from the 70s. And 90s, just to bring memories back. Tony Dorset was such a great runner and so was Emmett Smith.
Possibly the greatest running back to ever play the game
When he touched the 🏈 spotlight was his 🏆🎖️🏆
TD had it all, quickness, top line speed, and great vision.
The greatest Cowboy in my mind. The whole reason I am a Cowboy fan is because of him. The greatest college football player of all time. Where ever he got drafted was going to be my team for life. Lord I’m glad I’m a COWBOY FAN. THANK YOU FOR THE PLEASURE TO WATCH THE GIFT YIU GAVE THE FOOTBALL WORLD.
My favorite rb of all time the incomparable Tony Dorsett.🤟👊💯
I always loved Tony Dorsett he was an exciting runner with great speed. Thanks for the video it was great to watch him in all his greatness again.
Like getting an early Christmas gift, watching him run is just so friggin' cool!
It was sweet that his initials were TD as in Touchdown but if his initials were SB they would stand for SONIC BOOM! So if there was ever a loud boom in the stadium when the Cowboys played that was just Dorsett breaking the sound barrier 💥! As a matter of fact if Dorsett was a car parked next to a Corvette, I'd rather drive the Dorsett.............hummm a Chevy Dorsett! Great acceleration, good braking, handles corners, 0-60 in 1.5 seconds, great top end speed, longevity I'm sold!
Wow t.d. never thought. U is a genius. And the dorsett car was a good one to
I like all of Tony's touchdowns in blue jerseys
Michael Leroy Same, I like those old jerseys.
Unbelievable how many touchdowns he scored without being tackled. If he had played 15 years later in the age of the one back system he would have 20,000 yards. Hardest running North/South running back under 200 pounds in history. Tough as nails. My favorite running back of all time.
Tony Dorsett was so fast it was crazy. He was at top speed with just two steps. If Landry would have split him out wide a lot more as a receiver they would have won a lot more games because there was not a corner in the league that could match his speed.
I love Tony Dorsett, Watching him way back then made me a Cowboys fan FOR LIFE!!
I can't get enough of him running the ball for Dallas
My first jersey, and my favorite Cowboy of all time!! #33
One of the BEST ever....he had it all
Thank you. My favorite player EVER!! #33!! I miss watching him!
That 99 yard touchdown by Dorsett against the Vikings in 83.CLASSIC!🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈.
Born in 1970 and lived only in New England and Florida I’m a life long a Cowboy fan because of TD Roger Staubach Drew Pearson and Randy White
That’s awesome 👍. Those guys were great.
Born in 68 outside of cleveland and what you said is why im a Cowboy fan to this day.And only been a Cowboy fan.
So was Belicheck. Maybe the biggest Roger Staubach fan of ALL time.
Think you for the video 📹 of the Greatest Dallas Cowboys Franchise RB, ever to live,( Emmitt Smith played behind the best offensive line ever ) .
Tony Dorsett was a great Legend RB, ,and is the Greatest College running back ever to live to.
Their will never be another like him , TD. , Heisman Trophy winner 🏆, College Legend and University of Pittsburgh Panthers Greatest RB, and The Dallas Cowboys Franchise Historical history Greatest 👍, no question asked.
one of the greatest
Never really seen a big highlights clip of Dorsett. Thanks for posting. This is a really great watch. He’s so, so smooth and for a relatively small guy, it’s impressive that he was not afraid to stick his head in the trenches. There are two things that really strike me watching it, though. Firstly, I can’t believe how fast he is. It’s that easy kind of speed where he doesn’t look like he’s really trying. Secondly, Darrell Green must have been RIDICULOUSLY fast…
That man is poetry in motion. Truly awesome in the way that he moves.
This video deserves more views. He's still the prettiest running back ever.
Thanks 👍.
Tony Dorsett is my favorite running back of all-time!!!
That's why I am Cowboy Fan to this day. #33.
I am too.Got a 33 Dorsett jersey in my closet.🏈🏈🏈
Emmitt maybe the all-time yards leader, and I like Emmitt, but I would take Tony over him any day.
Lifetime Cowboy fan here and you're right Tony Dorsett all day long twice on Sunday
I believe Emmitt was more of a warrior, but Dorsett as a superior athelete could go...literally...99 yards to score. Personally my favorite was Herschel Walker.
Yessir
@@trandenhawkins6455 Imagine Tony Dorsett behind that 90s O-Line
Me to. Tony is probably my favorite running back. What a runner.
Explosive speed.
This brought back good memories of watching the games on Sunday and Monday morning homeroom its Dallas fans against Steelers fans about who's the best. Dorsett and Big Franco Harris!🤜🏿🤛🏿
TONY DORSETT WAS A GREAT RUNNING BACK FOR THE DALLAS COWBOYS I ENJOYED WATCHING HIM ON SUNDAYS.
This was a beast a bad man every time he touched the ball
I am Raiders fan. However, I loved Tony Dorsett at Pitt. Even though I could not stand Dallas, he was the primary reason I watched Cowboy games.
My favorite runningback
Great job I'm putting this video together I would be willing to bet you could ask the commentators do you like most enjoyed watching and calling games and it'd be the Dallas Cowboys and Tony Dorsett you could hear it in their voices they get excited watching him like the rest of us I guess you're the man Tony🙏
That was great! Thanks for putting that together. TD #33 was my childhood idol. Total legend!
Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏, he’s one of the best to ever do it.
