Aikman, Emmitt & Irvin go into Dallas' Ring of Honor

[BAMAPHIN 22]

The brash receiver arrived first, full of smiles and swagger.

Then came the guy who seemed straight out of some build-a-quarterback kit: rocket arm, Hollywood good looks, even a name befitting a rugged leader.

Last but certainly not least, there was the little man, the running back who loved being told what he couldn't do just so he could prove folks wrong.

Michael Irvin, Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith joined the Dallas Cowboys in successive years, 1988, '89 and '90, each as a first-round pick. They wound up becoming quite a trio, perhaps the best the NFL has ever seen.

hooray!...

naw, actually... i had no problem with those dallas teams... they were fun to watch and a model of efficiency... hard to speculate, but i believe they would have beaten SF even in 94 if they still had JJ...

They won a Superbowl with Barry Switzer as a coach, they are probaly the best trio ever. Im not sure any other players could have pulled that miracle off.
