From The Lake Highlands Advocate: By Claire Crow September 2nd, 2020 In this interview clip, former quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys Roger Staubach shares his thoughts about the team's progress in 1974 training camp. He is also hinting at a bigger issue at hand for the NFL in summer of '74: the players strike. Rooting from contract disputes with owners, the strike started on Jul. 1 when league veterans did not report to training camps when they opened later that month. "No Freedom, No Football" was the key phrase of the strike, as players petitioned for their ability to switch teams when their contracts expired. "The Cowboys…I think we've got a lot going this year and there's a lot of interesting things in our team," Staubach said in the interview. This appears to be when the Cowboys practiced in Lake Highlands for training camp. Read more at The Lake Highlands Advocate.
