If at one time the Dallas Cowboys were America's Team, Roger
Staubach was America's Quarterback. Roger the Dodger was a
real-life embodiment of apple pie, world championships, and role
models. Staubach was a Heisman Trophy winner at Annapolis who
served four years as a naval officer before going on to a stellar
eleven-year career with the Dallas Cowboys that included four NFC
championships and two Super Bowl titles. Considered the master of
the two-minute offense and late-game comeback, Staubach eventually
earned a spot in the Cowboys' illustrious Ring of Honor and,
ultimately in 1985, the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
If ever there was a perfect meshing of franchise, coach, and
on-field leader, it was the silver-white-and-blue Cowboys of the
seventies with Tom Landry strolling the sidelines in his trademark
fedora and the unflappable Staubach barking signals. He led the NFL
in passing five times, and when he retired at age thirty-seven he
departed the game in possession of the highest quarterback rating
of all time. After his retirement from football, he pretty much
left the game behind, forsaking a shot at coaching or television
commentary to focus his energies on the corporate world as chairman
and CEO of the Staubach Company, a diversified commercial real
estate company.
Roger Staubach: Captain America is an oral history of Staubach's
life, times, and career. It is told in the words of dozens of
former teammates and opponents, friends, business associates, civic
leaders, acquaintances, and others who have known him over the
years. Staubach turned sixty in 2002, and this book offers a
touching and telling testimonial to a true American hero and role
model.
