We waited for the telecast to end, then ran outside to toss the football in the snow. It was SNOWING. DC may have a lot of nasty wet winter days. But it doesn't snow nearly as much as it should. If the Cowboys had shown up in full uniform to play us at that point...we'd have beaten 'em too.
Maybe Dex's slam of White was important but this is the second best play in Redskin history aside from John Riggins' super bowl run. There were also some pretty nice pass plays in the Doug Williams' super bowl.
You gotta love seeing the Cowboys go down. Like Sam Wyche (as a Redskin backup) said - "die you dogs, die !"
I remember watching Dallas beat Denver in Super Bowl XII - their second, the Skins had been to one, and lost, and George Allen had just finished his last season - and thinking God, this may never end.
If you had told me that the Skins would go to four of them; win three; and go ahead of Dallas five championships to two BEFORE THE COWBOYS SO MUCH AS WENT TO ANOTHER ONE, I would have laughed.
the injustice he is referring to about the 79 game was that Theisman called a TO with about 7 seconds to go and the idiot reff let the clock run out. they were pretty close to Mosleys field goal range at that time. Dumb ass cowboy fan, know your history.
@dukie11 to what injustice might you be referring? certainly not how Roger Staubach and the Cowboys 'housed' the Redskins in the fourth qtr of the final game of the '79 regular season.
Yah...but ultimately, Dallas has won more superbowls, and is still America's team, and the Redskins suck. Good for you guys to have these old, crusty videos. Heh heh.
@timplanert Would be us, 2-1. And you know you could add that, since Dallasites weren't civilized by missionaries until, like, the Fifties, Girlz fans don't know the NFL existed before then. It's 5-5 on championships, Dullass weenies. You could also add that while we go back to old, crusty videos of killing their good teams, Dullass fans have nice, new, shiny 2010 videos of their cheerleaders, who are 1-7 on their way to great seats for the Supe in their very own ballyard. Suck it, Dullass.
Did you see Dexter Manley take a couple steps back at 0:18? That was designed. It was a delayed blitz, but it was not a blitz because he was a defensive lineman. Back in his early years, Manley showed potential because of his good quickness & athletic ability. He was an explosive pass rusher who had already knocked Danny White out of the game & came in here and caused the INT. Manley had a quick takeoff, excellent speed & used his hands well.
Darryl Grant used to be an offesive guard. He lacked height (6-1) & had marginal speed, but he used his surprising quickness to fly around the field making tackles from sideline-to-sideline. He did a good jod at the point of attack & was adequate at rushing the passer.
Funny thing is with all the money they make now days! That's all the bonus is even now that has not changed you figure it would be 700,000 the way the pay them.
"Play action pass...Hogeboom...hid the ball well. Throws it, it's tipped up in the air, IT'S PICKED OFF BY DARYLL GRANT! TOUCHDOWN WASHINGTON REDSKINS!! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!"
What was Dallas QB, Hogeboom thinking throwing that rotten egg of a pass in that situation & on that end of the field!? Remember this game sadly. Lifelong Cowboys fan.
To his defense, he did hide the ball well. It's just that Manley picked up on what he was doing and Grant...well, Grant was just at the right place at the right time. :-)
Wow. I remember this game like it was yesterday! To me this game was even bigger than the SuperBowl win to follow. Dexter Manley was a force that day between knocking White out and then tipping this pass to Darryl Grant.
I believe it started with SB 13 with Jackie Smith. Then the loss to the Rams in the playoffs in 79. Staubach retires. Loss to PHI in 80. The Catch in 81. Then the 82 NFC Title at WSH....
Would this been a different game if Danny White was the starter? Also remember Staubach came to the Cowboys in 69 after his Navy commitment. He would have been in his 40s IF he was playing into the 1980s. Would have Dallas won another title from 80-82?
The drive late in the game where the Redskins are putting the Cowboys away & hand the ball off to JR like 10 consecutive plays & there running the ball behind Russ Grimm & right @ Randy White who was probably the best DT in the NFL @ the time were the plays that put the nail in the Cowboys NFC domination.
The Cowboys were never a serious SB contender under Landry again. The were still good & a Playoff team but not a SB contender like Giants another team I hate in the NFC East & the Redskins.
I believe Danny White did start & Dexter Manley knocked him out of the game which is why Gary Hogeaboom started.
Danny White was a solid Pro Bowl caliber QB who inherited a great team from the 1970's that was aging. Had Danny White inherited a team that was ready to make a Championship run with him, you might be looking @ a Hall of Fame QB.
The 80s was dominated by the Niners, Skins, Bears, and Giants. The 49ers emerged as the team of the decade b/c of more titles, but each of those had oppurtunities to win multiple. For example, the 86 Bears were better than the 85 SB Shuffling Squad, but they ran into the Skins.
You also had the strikes of 82 and 87 that prevented defending champs from defending their titles. Also in 87, the Vikings (8-7, the NFC 5 seed, 0-3 in scrub games) came within one play of the Super Bowl.
i was born in d.c. and i dont remember this play because i was only two years old when it happened. strange thing is that when i was 4yrs old my family moved to california and i grew up six miles from the rose bowl where the skins won the super bowl after this game hehe. anyway im a die hard skins fan to this day even though i live on the west coast and i love watching these old games. i have tickets for the skins vs. chargers game this year!! hail to the redskins!
I'm talking about KieranTVogel's comment about how unenthusiastic Pat Summerall (the announcer) is, and his deadpan and disappointed commentary when the Redskins are finishing off his favorite team the Cowgirls. That's what the hell I'm talking about.
I'm sorry, but your comment is totally unfounded. First of all, Pat Summerall's commentating style was learned and passed down from the legendary Ray Scott. If you have any free time, check out his work with CBS, as well as his regional stuff with the Packers, and you'll understand Summerall's terse and, I'll use your adjective, "deadpan" style. Secondly, Summerall was famously a kicker for the New York Giants, as well as the Lions/Cards, so why would he be partial to the Cowboys?!Makesnosense
I know Summerall was a Giant and I don't care where his commenting style came from. I actually like him, probably because he is one if the sports announcers from my childhood, his teaming with Madden is legendary. If you grew up in the Wash., D.C. area, as I did, there is a common feeling among Redskins fans that Summerall always routed for whatever team was playing the Redskins. So my commentary is founded, if you're a Redskins fan as I am. It is biased and makes perfect sense. GO SKINS!
Well, look..I'm not trying to get into a prick-waving contest here, but you know you are contradicting yourself, right? First, you come out and criticize Summerall for being "anti-Redskin", and, regardless whether you and your buddies were right about that or not (which I don't think y'all are), you follow-up by saying that you liked him?! Quick review: You're a skins fan, believe said announcer is biased against the Skins, but you like said announcer! Do you juggle for a living, dude?
Let me clarify; I like him in a nostagic way, even though he is anti-Redskin. I liked listening to him and Madden announce a game. When he announced Redskins games, though, he was not very veiled in his disdain for the Redskins. He didn't make it extremely obvious, but to us Redskins fans, we could tell. Have fun waving your own prick "if you have any free time", since you have a hard-on for Pat Summerall. Juggle this: GO SKINS!! :0
@jpwjr1199 There was nobody I loved hearing call Redskins wins and great plays more than Summerall. If he was biased against Washington he sure had a funny way of showing it. Now Madden *always* had a soft spot in his heart for the Skins, their fans, and RFK, and he wasn't ashamed to show it.
@donnpatc I know. That guy gtrgreg is a total douchebag, but whatever. Obviously, Summerall had no bias against the Redskins, is a legendary announcer, and Madden coached along side Gibbs for many years under Don Coryell, so the guy is a complete fucking idiot (or was a year ago, anyway)
I was at this game. At the time there were "Dallas Sucks" bumperstickers everywhere you looked leading up to this game. I have NEVER heard a louder crowd at any venue, be it concert, sporting event etc. ever! RFK literally rocked from the noise. Thanks for posting. Great memory!
I grew up in dallas fort worth and hate the cowboys. i was at work when this happened listening on radio. All my cowboy fans co workers had been talking shit and when this happened they all clammed up!! One of my favorite sports memories.

The fact is that American Indian tribes have been polled across the country and more than 80% of them have said they have no problem with the team's name!
maaan I've watched this 20 times already; I was 7 years old; I have to ask my father if he remembers me jumping up and down after this play AND how did my older, cowboy-fan brother react
The fact that Darryl Grant was NOT chosen as one of the 70 Greatest Redskins, is a crime... I'll take Manley, Grant, Butz and Mann against ANYBODY... Shame on all you Redskins fans who didn't vote for Mr. Grant..
generationll (1 month ago) "The best play in WR history took place in Texas Stadium on Thanksgiving Day 1974.I was there also."..............................................
That play was gay like the cokehead lucky QB that threw it! Clint Dongley
I was there! I had a seat on the field behind the opposite end zone. As soon as the ball was tipped, I got knocked down by people running to the edge of the end zone to see the play. But from my hands and knees I saw him run in. Hard to explain, really, how important that play and that game were. Dallas was so dominant then, especially over the Redskins. And Dallas was hatable then; now they're not so hatable.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dexter manley pulled out his crackpipe Maand tipped this ball with it watch very closely,he batted the ball down with his stem and Darryl Grant intercepted it for the touchdown!Marion Barry taught Dexter that play hesaid he used to use it playing in the streets of Washington,D.C.
2-0, that's a drop in the bucket. Overall WITH the playoffs, Dallas STILL has at least a 15 game advantage over the Potomic River Basin Native Persons.
See you in two weeks for the rematch. Romo will be ready.
Read ESPNs TMQ by Gregg Easterbrook on Tueday. Wikipedia the name. That's where I got the Potomic River Basin Native Persons reference. Think about it. Redskin is not exactly PC these days, and the Redskins don't play in DC anymore. I know same as the Cowboys. How ironic. They'll be playing in Arlington... so I guess we'll be calling them either the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex Cowboys or the Former Dallas Former Irving Now Arlington Cowboys.
All hail to the Washington Redskins...we will be back.......I get misty when I see this play, like Riggins run vs Miami, and Ricky Sanders breaking open the Denver game igniting the greatest quarter in Super Bowl History: god is a Redskin!
There are so many great nostalgic things about this clip, and I'm a Bengals fan who has no real rooting interest either way. First, this was Summerall and Madden in the early days together (possibly their first year together?), the finest pair in the booth of all time. I remember that signature quick "up out of the stance and back down again" of the Cowboys offensive line- I never understood the origins of it but I liked it for some reason. And $70,000 was worth mentioning.

The fact is that American Indian tribes have been polled across the country and more than 80% of them have said they have no problem with the team's name!

The fact that Darryl Grant was NOT chosen as one of the 70 Greatest Redskins, is a crime... I'll take Manley, Grant, Butz and Mann against ANYBODY... Shame on all you Redskins fans who didn't vote for Mr. Grant..

I was there! I had a seat on the field behind the opposite end zone. As soon as the ball was tipped, I got knocked down by people running to the edge of the end zone to see the play. But from my hands and knees I saw him run in. Hard to explain, really, how important that play and that game were. Dallas was so dominant then, especially over the Redskins. And Dallas was hatable then; now they're not so hatable.

When the Skins and Boyz meet in the playoffs, it's 2-0 Skins, both of them stem-to-stern routs like this.
No rivalry? Hawhawhaw!
donnpatc 3 years ago 3
2-0, that's a drop in the bucket. Overall WITH the playoffs, Dallas STILL has at least a 15 game advantage over the Potomic River Basin Native Persons.
See you in two weeks for the rematch. Romo will be ready.
mjwatts1983 3 years ago
Given the history, Romo being ready is what we hope for.
Good point on 2-0. We only win when it counts. ;-)

Read ESPNs TMQ by Gregg Easterbrook on Tueday. Wikipedia the name. That's where I got the Potomic River Basin Native Persons reference. Think about it. Redskin is not exactly PC these days, and the Redskins don't play in DC anymore. I know same as the Cowboys. How ironic. They'll be playing in Arlington... so I guess we'll be calling them either the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex Cowboys or the Former Dallas Former Irving Now Arlington Cowboys.

it should be PC, not many people know where the term "redskin" originated.

There are so many great nostalgic things about this clip, and I'm a Bengals fan who has no real rooting interest either way. First, this was Summerall and Madden in the early days together (possibly their first year together?), the finest pair in the booth of all time. I remember that signature quick "up out of the stance and back down again" of the Cowboys offensive line- I never understood the origins of it but I liked it for some reason. And $70,000 was worth mentioning.
