Here are some of the headlines we hit on in this episode: One of the greatest college football players to ever strap on pads is celebrated with many others on their birthday, while we also remember the day that the Cowboys moved on from their only coach at the time in franchise history, Tom Landry.

We would like to thank the National Football Foundation, Pro Football Hall of Fame, On this day.com, and Pro Football Reference Websites for the information shared with you today.
