Every cowboy player should be watching this interview!

It was magic to be a Cowboys fan in the 90’s & watch these guys play.

[@joshuaonevnine]

COULD LISTEN TO THESE TWO FOR HOURS LOVE EMMIT AND IRVIN

[@bradleymiller7375]

Not loud mouth Irvin!

[@yorkrothschild9922]

Chiefs dynasty is better

[@eliporter3980]

Ima long time 49ers fan and the Cowboys are my immortal enemies but I love these 2 😂. Those 49ers vs Cowboys games back in the day were some of the best sports memories of my childhood.

[@marked4death076]

As a hawks fan when we were god awefull i loved those cowboys vs 9ers games as a young kid. Only games id say come close were the harbaugh vs pete hawks 9ers games in 2010 era, maybe ravens vs steelers as well

[@Ryan_Mac]

Lost my older brother to a fentanyl overdose, a great man and a 30 year Fire Fighter and Fire Marshal. It can and does effect anyone and everyone. Its no longer just in the streets. Thank you Emmitt, Michael, and Rich for getting the message out about Fentanyl. Great men, all 3 are legends.

Amen to that

[@moonglow630]

It does a Cowboys fans heart good to see these two together.

[@prevyhiphop]

It takes someone special to be able to yell at grown men and have them listen to you and still respect you. Not too many people like that. Jimmy Johnson is in rare company.

[@MisfitsFiendClub138]

Wow, Jimmy Johnson wouldn't let them eat on the plane after a loss. That's brutal 😂

[@phillyfan-182]

That’s harsh!! You never deprive anyone of sustenance

[@williamhowse2361]

second last game of 92 season. Losing was not acceptable. That was a crazy game.

[@bradleymiller7375]

That's Jimmy, a great Coach!

[@michaelaguilera3191]

@@phillyfan-182 They are showing appreciation for that discipline so apparently it wasn’t too harsh for them. They were taught that their performance was tied to their well-being it was essentially saying winning football is akin to eating or breathing’s and do you want it that bad? Thats a championship mentality. Is it right? Maybe not but it worked.

[@PaulyinParis619]

Won 3 Super Bowls…and I hate the Cowboys

[@randyrai1970]

You know how good the interview is when Rich Eisen barely has to ask a question and these two can just talk and tell stories the entire time. I really miss the heart and soul and dedication from these Cowboys teams compared to what we are getting today 28 years later and still waiting. Irvin is my favorite DC of all time.

[@joeking6309]

As an old Cowboys fan love to hear the stories.

[@carlosduarte4181]

As a fan, I love all these 90s Cowboys, every time I hear them in an interview and they talk about those teams, I feel like running through a wall!!!!

[@ViperJon]

These are two total class guys. So enjoyable to listen to.

[@FreeRoyalPowerHour]

These 2 were “dawgs”. When people talk about “dawgs” in sports,this is what they are talking about. The will to win. Stepping up in the biggest moments. Never shrinking against the best competition,under the brightest lights when their backs are against the wall. I didn’t grow up a Cowboys fan,but it’s hard not to respect these 2. One of the greatest games I have ever seen is the 92 NFC Championship game

[@leonardobraynen1524]

As a Steeler fan, Loved me some Michael Irving and Emmitt Smith. Two of the best to play their positions. And that brotherhood stuff btwn em is real man.

[@StephenDmitri]

[@mckaydegering1379]

One of the best interviews of the week!

[@deanpatty3203]

Love hearing from these guys

[@Riles3152]

It must deeply pain Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith to watch these current gutless Cowboys of today. They’re the 100% polar opposite of Jimmy’s Cowboys.

[@YDCFF_]

It does, and it pains us old school fans that grew up with Landry and Jimmy. They turned boys in to men, not unprepared celebrities like the modern Cowboys. There is no discipline or accountability in Dallas... These guys have no heart nor the dedication to train on their own time.

[@MisfitsFiendClub138]

The lack of killer Instinct and championship drive falls directly on McCarthy. That Green Bay game they looked lost

[@PaulyinParis619]

Rich just sittin back enjoyin the stories…

[@rebeccamiles1059]

I have a "Double Trouble" poster from back in the day. It's damaged, but I won't get rid of it ever.

[@Ryan_Mac]

I had it also! That and an Emmitt poster that said "The Texas Twister" and showed Emmitt doing his juke moves. Good times.....

[@sportjames23]

Man, sports posters from back in the day were everything. All four of the major team sports had awesome posters of their top stars.

[@evanreakes]

Pure chemistry, thank you for the motivative words.

[@ryanmerical2103]

I’m from Northern California and I grew up during the Niners dynasty of the 80s. Those are in the convo of greatest teams ever. And all due respect to the 07 Pats, that first Cowboys Super Bowl team in 93 is the best team I’ve ever seen

[@kurtisjacques8044]

[@jay____l]

No wonder these two were so successful. They never wanted to lose. They weren't soft.

[@stustewart3140]

PREACH!!! 88 and 22 KNOW! And this Era needs a Jimmy, Jerry had a chance to make a statement after that pathetic loss to GB and fire McCarthy. Now the organization accepts failure and mediocrity

[@jeffmc113]

4:26 And that is the difference between championships & kicked in the divisional

[@stmn346]

If you’re too young to have watched these 2 play, along with the other players on the team, and the competition, and the rules where you could actually hit.. you missed out and would understand why the Cowboys are so talked about.

[@monicasmith7050]

Em mitt Smith is a true American Hero…an intelligent, hard working role model. Michael Irving is no slouch either…

[@joemckim1183]

Its a shame that Jerry ruined what could've been a dynasty until the end of the 90s. Jimmy definitely should've stayed as coach of the Cowboys until the triplets careers ended.

[@bradleymiller7375]

That would of been greatest show!

See that’s the problem today with the nfl and player today, they are babies especially the cowboys we have talent but no discipline for them to win a Super Bowl they have to be disciplined and I don’t see the coach has that. For Dak to throw the interception he needs to be reprimanded for that and the defense played undisciplined, we lead the league in penalties that’s on the coaches no discipline.
