What really happened to the legends who built America's Team? From Bob Lilly throwing his helmet 40 yards after losing Super Bowl V… to Hollywood Henderson going from cocaine addiction to prison to winning a $28 million lottery… to Roger Staubach waiting four years in the Navy while other quarterbacks got rich, then becoming a billionaire anyway… to Bob Hayes running so fast the NFL invented zone coverage just to stop him… these aren't the sanitized NFL Films stories.
This is what happened after the star faded. Some became millionaire real estate moguls. Others battled drug addiction and died broke. One sat silent for 20 minutes at Super Bowl media day as protest. Another traded catching touchdown passes for Olympic-level archery.
In this episode of Touchdown Timewarp, we blitz through the 1970s Cowboys legends and reveal where life took them after five Super Bowl appearances and two championships.
