I am suddenly (and stupidly) in the business of promoting the NFL’s website, but the video section there has quite a bit to offer. I have seen clips of Phyllis George’s interview with Roger Staubach in 1975, but I had never seen the entire interview. This is now available on the NFL’s site:
The highlights:
* Staubach discusses a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty called against him in a 1975 game at Washington. Staubach threw a punch at long-time Washington cornerback Pat Fischer after the Dallas quarterback threw an interception. The Redskins went on to win 30-24 in overtime.
* “It’s a dog-eat-dog world . . . You can’t be a nice guy on the football field.”
* Staubach talks about being labeled a “square” for buying a station wagon instead of a sports car after Dallas won the Super Bowl in 1971.
* His famous comment about enjoying sex as much as Joe Namath. Although I am not sure what happened after the interview with Phyllis, I am pretty sure that Staubach has never tried to kiss Suzy Kolber.
Do you have to be a paying subscriber to watch the NFL videos? Everytime I try to open one of the NFL vids you have posted, I keep getting an error saying Internet Explorer cannot open the page.
I don’t think so, Melonball. I generally use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. What you may need to do is reinstall Adobe’s flash player:

Those links are working on my IE browser as well. I will check this at work tomorrow to see if I have any problems there. Sorry for the trouble.

Who’s the little bastard in Staubach’s lap?
