Actually Barry for a lot of his career ran behind a subpar line…in fact there was always a debate that had Barry had Emmitt's OL, he would have broken all of the records…but I get your point.

And after the most amazing TD run you ever saw, he would just hand the ball to the ref and walk to the sideline like nothing happened. The world needs more guys like him.

There's no better way to piss off a Cowboys fan than by telling them Barry was better than Emmitt.

Agreed! I have no ill will towards the Cowboys as a team, their fans on the other hand…I actually liked Emmitt and he was a great RB, but IMO, Barry was a better RB and would have killed it with the Cowboys.

Emmitt is probably the most likeable Cowboy of all time; I love in that NFL @ 100 commercial when they're all at the banquet, Barry runs by and Emmitt says to the table, "You know I got more yards then him, right?"
Showing my age, but I once antagonized a drunk Cowboy fan at a party at A&M by telling him he was jealous that Earl Campbell was better than Tony Dorsett. He took a swing at me.
Lifelong Cowboys fan (grew up in the Waco area and that's who was on the TV every week) but have lived in Houston for a number of years and also root for my hometown team, except when they play my Boys.
I'm the first to say I love Emmitt Smith. Great RB and even better teammate. But I have always said, put Barry behind that line and its game over. Barry, assuming he had the same health, would have likely put up 300 yards more a year in the prime Emmitt years with that massive (maybe best ever OL).

You and I are close in age, and I love you said that…

My dad grew up in San Antonio and was a lifelong Cowboys fan and lukewarm Oilers fan, but I grew up in Houston during the Love Ya Blue days and have been a fan of Houston football teams ever since…my dad never understood how I could be a fan of the Oilers…when he passed away in 2017, he was so far out on the Cowboys, he wouldn't watch them anymore…he was old school and loathed Jerry Jones and hated how he treated Tom Landry, although he cheered them on during the 90's as they were winning Supper Bowls.

A lot of those older fans are that way. My dad is a lifelong Boys fan. He's 75 and it's a love hate relationship. He loves the Boys but detests Jerry, like most of us. But every Sunday he'll throw on that old Novacek jersey (not kidding) and live in the glory days, lol.
Oh, and I loved watching the Oilers when Moon and Co. were running the run and shoot. Tons of fun to watch, just didn't get them on TV as much up in my area.

I still contend if the Oilers hadn't choked away that Bills lead in the playoffs, they would have beaten the Cowboys in the Super Bowl…but Houston decided to go soft and let Frank Reich pick them apart in the second half and the rest is history.
Grew up outside of Dallas and was a huge cowboys fan during the 80s and 90s. Moved to Houston in 2000. Probably never would have converted to the Oilers but liked the idea of getting in on the ground floor of a new franchise. Got season tickets day 1 and had them for about 15 years and been all Texans ever since. Rarely even turn on the Cowboys anymore.
But as a cowboys fan in the 90s, even most of us agreed Sanders was the better RB. But Emmitt was the perfect fit for the cowboys at the time.

I lived in DC area for three years growing up and the Redskins won the superbowl two of those three years- one with Doug Williams and one with Mark Rypien and both with the posse WR group -Art Monk, Gary Clark, Ricky Sanders- went to a few games in the old RFK stadium as a young lad - been following them ever since and learned to dislike the Cowboys then before I knew how awful their fans were. Although, the Skins' name change was a huge turn off and they've been pretty terrible for the last 30 years since then, but I keep tabs on them and root for them in the NFC East. Then moved to southern Louisiana for four years and went to several Saints games during the years when they made the playoffs for the first time ever- the "cha-ching" and "who dat" years- keep tabs on them but not a huge fan. Then moved to Houston when I was entering high school, went to a bunch of games in the Dome and became an Oilers fan but still kept tabs on Redskins and Saints. Crushing to see Bud Adams move them away and take the luv ya blue colors and derrick logo with him. No Houston team for a while and it took me quite a while to warm up to the Texans. I'm certainly a Texans fan now, but still do keep tabs on the Redskins and will always call them the Redskins and of course will always dislike the Cowboys. Have CeeDee Lamb and Brandon Aubrey on my fantasy team this year- hope they do well, but not the team results lol.
Grew up in central Texas and was a Cowboys fan, but also a fan of the Oilers as my grandfather was in Houston and my first pro/college game I ever went to was an Oilers game. So they had a special place in my heart because of that. Well, I ended up getting so beat down by friends that were Cowboy fans who just couldn't let me be for also rooting for the Oilers that I just started to hate the Cowboys and eventually only became an Oilers fan.
Pretty sure there's a Cowboys thread for this discussion.
I think Tank is tired of the hype surrounding his return:

Damn, I was having a good day, then I had to read this.
What could have been!!
If replay existed, they would have seen Don Beebe step out before catching one of those comeback TD passes in Buffalo. We don't need to rehash Renfro; we all know about that screw job. BTW, the umpire on that Renfro call was Donald Orr. I'll remember him and Fred Brocklander (86 Astros v Mets) for the rest of my days. **** those guys.
As for the Texans... here's the deal.
I LOVED the Oilers and was crushed when they left. The Astros were my first sports love, but the Oilers closely followed. I've had a hard time connecting with the Texans the same way, honestly. As my friend Daddy so eloquently stated, it's like my first wife left me and, while I remarried a younger more stable pretty lady, I miss the crazy of the first one. Kind of like Landman Ali Larter.
Anyway. Here's a take...
Maybe Houston should be sellers at the trade deadline.

"Outside of Houston's 26-3 trashing of arguably the league's worst team in the Tennessee Titans in week five, there hasn't been a single offense of note that Houston has been able to stop on a consistent basis. And now, not only are teams licking their chops to further dismantle… pic.twitter.com/SiYY2NqVQS

looking at the play...
Eluemunor got a free release to the second level because the DT's went sharply to their right at the snap
automatically creating a small cutback lane for Skattebo...and an easy block for Eluemunor on the linebacker
DeMeco was not expecting the fullback to be in position to ride Anderson out of the play
