"Thurman's Thieves" Rip Off Theismann and the Redskins

[jimbloke]

you know joe theismann was a cowboy killer... so let's stop the nonsense.

[Tubewings]

And we all know what happened to Joey ten weeks later...

[txfreethinker]

I remember this game. Dallas won 44-14....too sweet! And it was Theismann's birthday too. After the game, the Cowboy fans sang "Happy Birthday" to him. (Their motives were questionable, of course. lol) But, Joe was a good sport and stood still while they sung.

[bigred4464]

You Cowboy fans are all idiots! You're just living your football dreams as couch potatoes rooting for this STUPID football team. During the nineties they were more know for cocaine and prostitutes. Get a life..!

[GetsumJ]

One of my favorite games second only to Dennis Thurman taking out Ron Jaworski on a blitz that shut Ron up for a long time.

[oneputtsteven]

Thurman's Thief's - Dennis Thurman, Michael Downs, Everson Walls, Ron Fellows, Bill Bates. Some great names in Dallas Cowboy history.

[Tubewings]

Oh, BTW, that sixth interception shown in the video...that wasn't Theismann. That was Jay Schroeder that threw that particular interception.

[CelticCross777]

As a Cowboys fan since 1967, this has to be one of the 3 best games ever against the hated Redskins. The punk Theismann (he's still got that face you want to punch) throws 6 interceptions including 2 pick sixes and the Cowboys blow out the Deadskins 44-14. FACT: It was Theismann's birthday and the crowd sang "Happy Birthday Dear Jo-ey" as he left the field. FACT: They left the scoreboard on all night. This was sweet and I can remember it all like it was yesterday.

[bigred4464]

Tonio31, you are too stupid to argue with. Romo the homo will lead you guys to absolutely nowhere. Maybe you guys need a strike season,,!

[leecockrell]

Wish you'd included the "happy birthday" sung by the fans to Theismann when he got benched.

Even Bill Bates got a pick that day!

[bigred4464]

DCfan971 you are obviously twisted. You are a Cowboy fan and name yourself DC, which stands for Washington DC last time I checked. Stop smoking crack! As far as Theisman being our best quarterback? Last time I checked Sonny Jergenson and Sammy Baugh are in the Hall of Fame! Those are our BEST quarterbacks!! Know your history before you go on line next time. Don't make a fool of yourself on purpose..lol

[DCfan971]

@bigred4464 dc stands for dallas cowboys

[cowboys4life956]

Awesome! what a debacle!

[ericcasas1974]

L.O.L. ON THE SOUND EFFECTS!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!! AWESOME!!!

[ds49]

michael downs was one underrated free safety.

he was always one of my favorites.

[bigred4464]

Every quarterback has these kind of games on ocassion. But Tony Romo has his in the playoffs when it counts. That's why the Cowgirls will never win anything with Romo. Last time I checked Joe T has a ring..!

[DCfan971]

@bigred4464 ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!? Your comparing Romo and Theisman?!? Your obviously just using your best QB to match up with our modern QB. Why dont you mention McNabb or Rex Grossman? oh yea cuz they SUCK!!!!!!!

[Tonio31]

@bigred4464 Woopty damn doo doo, HIS TEAM won a ring during the strike year. Last time I checked, dumbass, football was a TEAM sport.

[GetsumJ]

@bigred4464 Funny, Romo has broken a lot of Cowboy records. You a Penn State grad or something ?

[bicround2006]

This is why they will never let Theismann into the hall of fame!!!!!

[havstormer]

The Texas Stadium crowd sang, "Happy Birthday to you..." when Theismann was benched. *Snigger.*

[mpark222]

If I remember correctly I believe this game was played on Joe Theismann's birthday. Probably his worst birthday ever! Haha!! Deadskins!!!

[sirtalos]

lol to funny

[wds777]

who cares what oj had to say

[44skins]

WOW....What a classic!! Frank Gifford along with Joe Namath and O.J. Simpson!! Well, minus O.J.!!

[possumtail]

HA! Washington never could beat Dallas on Monday Night Football....and there were several blowouts like this here.

Theismann was clearly having an off game here and it happened a lot because every couple of seasons Dallas would sweep them.....The Skins always won the most important games though; gotta give them credit for that.

[darrylhaynes]

they let O.J. out to do this game...

[12lfme12]

theismann is STRUGALLING

[biziswinning]

This is freakin hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahha!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[MattArchives]

I remember this game. This game happened on Theismann's birthday, and the crowd sang happy birthday to him (sarcastically) at some point.

My friend's Dad had this game on tape and I "borrowed" it. Don't know what happened to that tape.

[OneBigmutha1109]

@MattArchives Yeah, we should try to recharge this same defensive backfield to play for us today. Our defensive backfield cant cover their own balls! This has to be the worst display of DB play in Cowboy history. God they suck! Cut them all. And when they do cover, THEY COVER, Flag, holding, pass interf. bullshit@! Jenkins, and company. Worst ever!

[OneBigmutha1109]

Stick that up your box Washington. Theismann is the most annoying NFL personality on the air. He thinks he knows everything, when he is proved wrong, he argues that's what he meant the whole time.LOL! I wish LT would have just ripped the broken leg off, and shoved it up his ass instead of calling for help.

[nadaking]

Ha Ha! I love it. That was a beautiful thing. I hope that's what happens to Mc Nabb tonight.

[Amerikaten]

omg that was so funny

[kirbygene]

Love those gunshots. How could I not remember this game since iIm someone who didn't care for the cocky Theissman? SIX Intercepts? Wonder what the NFl record is for one game (for one side)?

[RedFoxAce]

6 interceptions?

[chrisuncleahmad]

The beginning of what turned out to be Tom Landry's last great season.

[DCussen]

Awesome.

[dwayne7981]

44-14. remember this well.

[brucedavis76]

miss texas stadium and this is the game where they sang happy bithday to joe thiesman

[thegorn68]

Sigh! This is about as many interceptions as we get in an entire SEASON now. I miss those days with Thurman's Thieves.

[srshark91]

Love it!

[jermaine550]

funny

[hop2171]

now this is a funny vid, whoever did this one knows his shit!!

[sportshistorybuff]

Always felt the Redskins looked classic with their gold pants, much better than the bland white ones.

[Speegs23]

@sportshistorybuff they would look like they pissed theor pants, having team colors that are burgundy and piss doesn't look good no matter how you switch it up/

[btofan]

Wow!! . . . never saw this one! Where can I get a copy on dvd?

[cnsparrot]

What a Classic ..........GO COWBOYS !

[lgolden20]

i Rememeber this game like yesterday (Cowboy die-hard)...for one night in 1985, it looked like Dallas was back...however, they would crash and burn to the Los Angeles Rams 20-0 in the playoffs after winning the NFC EAST...(Landry's last playoff season) the sweep of Washington and NY later in the year, helped them win the division with a 10-6 record...however the "Thurman's theives" actually ended up dividing the locker room and became a problem for Landry according to a book I read...

Lee

[rzuniga71]

is that Larry Bird at 2:14?

[tlgpad886]

These MNF vids sure bring back some memories. That's O.J Simpson commenting on the Everson Walls interception

[fonkhead]

this was on joe theismanns birthday. and the crowd sang happy birthday to joe after he threw the 5 picks.happy doomsday joe!

[fonkhead]

i remember this i love when the redskins get their butts whipped
