@@rog9601 I think the fact that he was one of the bigger names who wanted to organize a lawsuit against the NFL over injuries of retired players has made them snub him all these years
I’m 51 yrs old and T . Dorsett is still my favorite player of all times. The speed, vision,cutbacks and bursting through line like a missile was a sight to see.
Pittsburgh Panthers Legend and Bigger Legend With The Dallas Cowboys Man I Loved watching my favorite football player then and even Now more than ever TD was the most incredible player ever Don’t just talk about his size because nobody cares about Walter Payton size Tony Dorsett was and is the most misunderstood player and disrespected player in NFL History
Tony has always been my favorite player. He's two years older than me, so I've watch him since college and all through his pro career. I have never in my life seen a player that could go the distance on every touch of the ball like Tony. He's one of a kind. Before I start hearing crap from others about their opinion. This is mine so don't even start.
I loved Dorsett but hated the Cowboys, so of course, I was extremely upset when he became one. There's one thing that makes him better than a lot of the big name RBs of his era, Dorsett won a Heisman AND won a National Championship and did those things in a program that wasn't very good. When you look at Charles White and Billy Sims and Earl... those are BIG time schools, perennial champions, and contenders for the NCAA title each and every year. Dorsett stayed close by his mother and look at what he did! Pretty Fantastic
I’ve gotta agree with TD; why in the world would they go away from a running Offense that was dominating? He was a great Back and whenever I saw him run, I thought, “He’s gliding through the Lines and down the field.” Thanks, TD. I was 19 when you won that Super Bowl. #DC4L
W/O KNOWING THIS (but paying attn over the yrs to various conversations): COACH LANDRY 'seems like' THE TYPE THAT WAS TOO SMART FOR HIS OWN GOOD. He didn't 'play' Tony Hill or Dorsett as much as rookies because it wasn't 'his way'. He didn't go w/'the hot hand' as well, BUT was a slave to his "system". U ARE NOT ALWAYS 'right', JUST BECAUSE U THINK U ARE!! I BET his stubbornness hurt THE COWBOYS in instances(regardless of how acclaimed his career may have been).
My Hero Tony Dorsett. He's the reason I love the Dallas Cowboys til this day. Emmitt Smith might be the all time Leading rusher but TD was the Best PERIODT! I love you TD! My MAN!
You should have been in anxiety because you never knew when he was going all the way one missed tackle or mistake with that acceleration and speed it was goodnight 😊
So the man who I considered my Hero growing up I learn that his Son was born 6 days after me in the same year!!!?? 😫😫... Somebody get God on the phone I think there has been a mistake! Somebody hit the reset button!!!! I wanna do over!!!😫😫
This proves the bias that the NFL has against Dorsett because they still refuse to make an episode of A Football Life about him. His story deserves it
They still may one day as he is still one of the top runners the league has seen.

My heroes have always been cowboys,to the legend thank you Tony Dorsett!!
Tony D❤
My childhood hero. My man. Tony and Julius Erving. Both helped raised me on the football field and the basketball court and they didn't even know it.
Maybe if Tony sees this video (again) here, then he will know........
Awesome documentary!!!

I was 13 - I never loved football as much as I did that year. Dorsett was my hero
A joy to watch.
I've waited almost a year to see another edition of Beyond the Glory on TH-cam. Thank you.
Glad you liked it. I think I have some more somewhere so perhaps I may post others.
@@rog9601 I would appreciate that.
Loosing 3 straight NFC championship games had to be tuff but to me he was better than Zeke Elliott he couldn't get 10,000 yards like Tony
Wow, what an incredible story...
Best RB ever!
Jim Brown, Gale Sayers, OJ Simpson and Tony Dorsett.
Walter Payton belongs in that club
Barry sanders
Kevin mixon to he was a sight to see

Tony Dorsett would of been the NFL’s all time rushing leader if Jimmy Johnson was the coach instead of Tom Landry.👍
Interesting thought, but Emmitt had an exceptional offensive line.
based on just raw talent id take tony over emmitt any day of the week
nope.

My thoughts too, the man seemed to overthink everything. Sometimes, you just need to play simple football.
THE ULTIMATE WEAPON,, JUST WATCH THAT SUPER BOWL VERSUS PITTSBURGH,, ,,
Tellement triste la défaite contre les Steelers en 1979.
Y todavía duele...
From my understanding he has effects of CTE
Everytime he touched the ball...I stood in anxiety...
He was like a pinball bouncing off others, but could take it the distance at any given play.
@@rog9601 and a FANTASTIC blocker...

Tony Dorsett was a thing of beauty he did not have to run track to become fast he was God gifted meaning he was born with it have a wonderful day 😉
