Cowboys vs. Giants: Tom Landry Is The Tie That Binds Division Rivals

Long before he became the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Tom Landry found his initial success in football as a New York Giant.

Thomas Wade Landry; the name brings visions of a fedora-clad, suit-wearing Texas gentleman whose Christian demeanor belied the the brutal attacking manner of the defensive juggernaut that he devised. It brings back memories of the initial struggles to build an expansion franchise into a credible professional football team that Dallas and the state of Texas could be proud of. Time passed and that struggling upstart turned in to one of the most successful sports franchises in America and eventually it cashed in by winning a pair of Super Bowl titles.
