No Cowboys as mean as the Manster. Shoot, no Cowboys as mean as Lee Roy Jordan. Jordan and White would have taken all afternoon to settle something, with White’s size being the difference.

But i sure wish there was a guy. It might help up turn this thing around

1. Ratliff – just a beast, always causing havoc and then does that cool ground-smashing thing.
2. Colombo – throw ’em off the pile, dude! then laugh in their face!
3. Bigg Davis – just looks mean.
4. MB3 – push ’em in the shoulder, sock ’em in the mouth, headbutt ’em, get the extra yard!
5. Scandrick – flies around looking to destroy, looking to cause a fumble.

I don’t know enough about some of the guys brought in through free agency, but once we see their play with our stars on, then we’ll see how mean they are. Igor, Sensei, and Brooking all have tough qualities to them and Kitna has had quite the mean mouth.

As for rookies, Jason Williams talks a mean game and DeAngelo Smith sounded mean to me in this interview. I expect Hodge to have bit of a mean streak too based on these highlights.

Hopefully, some of our new guys help build the intensity of the team.

   A couple of years ago there was some sort of celebrity tough man boxing contest. Can’t remember the participants but I do remember Randy White was in it and he won. He beat up on those guys pretty good, he was tough and he hit hard. Very impressive for an older guy.

   Randy White brings back great memories. That was my favorite era for the Cowboys, I don’t think they were as good as the 90’s Cowboys, but still my favorite. If I recall correctly, The Manster was a bit of a hybrid, drafted as a DE but played at LB for a couple of years, hence the #54. Then was moved to D line and the rest is history. Thanks for the memories of one great player and a great era.

Never heard any such thing during the 80s. I suspect practically no mass media person nor ex-NFLer (save for a few ex-Cowboys) would pick Randy White in the top 20 meanest players in the league history. Until I read this article, I wouldn’t have put him in the Cowboys’ top 20.

‘cause my memory not be so good. He was drafted as an All America DE out of Maryland, the 2nd player drafted in ’75. The first two years he was moved to MLB and was a backup, the third he was moved to DT where he became a star and was the co-MVP of Super Bowl XII, Cowboys beating Denver 27-10. And that started a streak of 9 straight All Pro selections, and amazingly missed a mere 1 game in 14 seasons. In ’78 he was named the NFL Defensive Player of the year. His regular season career totals were 1,104 tackles, 701 solo tackles and 111 sacks. He played in 3 Super Bowls (remember when we used to play in those fairly often?) and 6 NFC championship games. Players like that don’t come along very often.

One of history’s great nicknames. I wish I’d been old enough to see him in his prime.

Here is a youtube video link (Randy White Tribute). The quality is not great, but look at his eyes in the opening few seconds. He just looks absolutely focused. Also, he was punishing when he sacked the QB.

‘homer’ arguments but my guy would still be Randy White. By the way, Randy autographed my Mirage leather Cowboy Jacket in his restaurant many years ago. A prized possession. Great ribs too. Does he still operate the restaurant?

but he certainly was the most intense player we ever had, always giving 120% of his effort no matter what the situation, whether we were winning or losing in a blowout.

Nicest guy in the world out of his Cowboys uniform, but I didn’t get very itchy to “F” with him either let alone ride a Harley into his restaurant.
