I met him one time back in '94 at a convenience store in Lewisville, Tx. I was behind him in line and he asked the clerk for a can of Copenhagen. As soon as he spoke, I recognized his voice without seeing his face. When me and my dad walked outside, my dad asked him if he was Randy White and he said "yeah', and my dad not knowing what else to say, asked him if he could shake his hand and Randy said sure. It was kind of awkward, but Randy was a nice guy. He was my dad's favorite player, it was really something that we got to meet him like that.
Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Genuine champions have nothing to prove. They dont feel like they have to put on airs all the time which is a sign of insecurity. Great guy!
Randy lasted 15 years with the NFL.That is something to be proud of. I consider the man legendary.
I'm Jealous In that Commercial when he brought that beer up look at the size of Randy's Arms
Shoot, Randy was prob there buyin' a case of beer and 4 cans of Copenhagen, lol. LOVED the guy.
This guy was a bushwhacker of a defensive player. Mean, tough, fast, fierce, hungry, didn't care. One of the true legends of Cowboys defense.
He sure is! Thanks for watching 🙏
Him and bill bates.
He was special.
Funny how the two greatest defensive tackles in cowboys history -- Randy and Bob Lily -- both started at different positions. Lily played 2 years at DE, while White, as noted, started at LB.
Great, as always, LC.
Good catch! Thanks bro!
Randy actually started his career at DE too..moved to LB and finally to DT
I'd love to have a utility player like that on my team.

Ya, but roids ??? I think so
@markdraine3571 In a time when everyone was doing it, I'm not saying anything about it.
@@sketchychicken2942 Agreed. Just saying ..I mean, he was great but he never could have benched all that weight ,naturally. Virtually impossible. Just about everybody in all kind of sports do it. They are very effective and prolong careers. In hoops, take a good look at LeBron and Steph. It is pretty obvious. They don't seem old. It's not normal aging process. They'd be retired by now .
@@markdraine3571 Randy White is about the same size now as he has always been, most people who used shrink down after their playing days. He may have used them, I honestly don't know, but he doesn't show the signs of someone who had a dependency on them.
@markdraine3571 randy white is about to be 61 years old. And is still massive. You reckon he must still be doin roids?
I’ll never forget this clip, the 1980 season finale, Dallas needed to beat the Eagles by 25 points to win the NFC East. The Eagles were near midfield when they completed a slant to WR Scott Fitzkee, who took off for the goal line. White chased down Fitzkee tackling him at the 5 yard line.
Legendary play!
And Dennis Thurman cleaned Harold Carmichael's clock.
I couldn’t get enough of Randy and Harvey when I was a kid. Thank you for this upload!
Thank you for watching!
Don't forget Too Tall.
Neither could I! AND Too Tall, who belongs in the HOF!
Randy and Harvey class both great guys
Randy White looks like he had old man strength straight out the womb
😂 😂
Randy White was and always will be my favorite Cowboy. Not only being from the same community in Delaware but the fact that his mother hated the eagles and his mom and brother got in a fight at the veteran stadium in Philadelphia just as l did with eagle fans.
I like him even more now after hearing that. Thank you for sharing very enjoyable.
A defensive lineman who played on kick off coverage and kick return...that's a unique combination. Watch the documentary on the Redskins 1982 SB winning team and they talk about how much they hated Randy White....true show of respect.
Legendary! Thanks for watching
Yea worked well in the Super Bowl
Randy was the man... And I was a Redskins fan....
Met him at a trade show a year ago. Im a giants fan and he couldn't have been more courteous. A class guy who killed the gmen. Gotta admire him. 😊
Amazing player and person. Gave my Niners fits. Much respect!
Thanks for watching
Excellent video as usual. Randy White took over where Bob Lilly left off when he retired.
He sure did! Thanks for watching!
Actually, White didn't play defensive tackle until 1977, 3 years after Bob Lilly retired.
Great guys
Great guys
I had a brother in law that stopped him for speeding one time. Said he was super nice and humble. My BIL has stopped other sports celebrities that are arrogant and like "do you know who I am?". Amazing to realize that at the defensive tackle spot, other than a year or two, from 1960-1988 the Cowboys had Bob Lilly and the Manster, Randy White.
Wow! Thanks for watching bro!
As a lifelong Steelers fan I have so much respect for Randy White. He not only dominated opponents, he made plays all over the field as if he was a gigantic safety. In the 1960s through the 1980s some teams drafted players with rare freak abilities over technicians. The Cowboys with Hollywood Henderson, Too Tall Jones & Randy White had defenses that were fun to watch.
My 2 all time favorite players
Bob Lilly was drafted in 1961, not 1960
Jethro Pugh was pretty good too
Growing up I had a few favorite teams: Oakland, Dallas and Miami....Randy White was a favorite.
Thanks for watching!
The Manster!!! That's all that needs 2 be said.👍
👍

As a diehard 49er fan...Randy White? His name, that MAN? Untouchable...!!!!!!!! Greatest!!!!!!
Met him at his BBQ place years ago. I was killing time between closing and funding of a real estate transaction. He came up and introduced himself and asked how everything was. I told him it was great and we talked about the Landry years for a few minutes. I told him about a picture of him in the paper once, he had an opposing player by the jersey with one hand, Redskins I think, and the player's helmet in the other. It looked like he was beating the guy with his own helmet. He had this little smile, and said, "Well, things happened." Nicest guy in the world. You would never know what a savage he was on the field.
My heroes have always been Cowboys.
That game was against the Bears in the preseason. It was nasty lol. Him and Too Tall Jones fought the entire team! But yeah, White is a humble human being. While making this video, I have seen a lot of interviews and he always was careful about how he talked about another player. It was always with respect. Great guy! Thanks again, bro!
Randy is my all-time favorite. I have been blessed to be able to call him a friend now which still is hard to believe but I have asked him about that game, I had it in my head it was vs. the Rams but he corrected me that it was the Bears, he said the guy kept chopping him in his knees and we warned him twice, the third time Randy said "I grabbed his face mask and tried to rip his head off." Dead serious. I laughed but realized he wasn't using a euphemism, he meant it! Randy is as good a person as he was a player, I've watched him be approached and every single time he is kind and gracious. We were at a shooting range and one of the range masters was a young marine, a asked him if he knew who that was (Randy) he didn't but when I told him his eyes got big and asked can you introduce me?! I did and Randy picked up on the knife the young man was wearing as Randy builds them, the guy shows it to him and Randy in a tank top & shorts pulls one of his out of his waistband and the kids thinkin that's awesome, Randy says "you like that?" Of course it's yes! Randy says write down your address for me and I'll send you one.
That's the kinda guy he is. A+++ dude.
@@daveakerman712
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
@@daveakerman712 I can hardly ever get anyone to go to the range with me. I have a Wildey Survivor .475 Magnum that he would probably love to shoot and I would even pay for everyone.
Going by myself sucks and I look like a showoff.
I remember that in a post game interview that Randy was asked about having been ejected from the game for yanking off one players helmet and using it to hit another player. Randy replied " He's lucky that his head wasn't still in it."
The best analogy I can come up with is Randy White from 1977 until about 1985 was basically the JJ Watt of the NFL for you younger fans that aren't old enough to remember him or see him play.
That's a great analogy!! It's clear now! That's who he reminds me of! Wow! Thanks bro!
Wrong. JJ Watt was almost the Randy White of his era.
Raider fan here as a child but remember him well. Extremely athletic. Ahead of his time.. old school. Respect.
Legendary!
you guys had an exceptional undersized D tackle Tom Keating
Mr. White was an oversized Billy Bates. Both used the heart each and ever time they were on the field. Great memories. Nice upload Logical Cowboy.
Thanks bro!
Outstanding Bill Bates reference! (Imagine if Bill Bates had been born with a body like Randy White!)
@@raywalsh9152
Bro!!!
Love Bates, but....
Bates was nowhere near the athlete White was. Nothing but respect for Bill, who did a lot without a whole lot of talent (from an NFL standpoint). But Randy? He was an athletic freak of nature.
Sidenote: that big blonde guy he was fishing with.... That was Joe Klecko. Good friends, but they squared off in some kind of celebrity boxing match. Didn't work out too good for Joe. It's on CZcams somewhere, if anybody's interested.
@@davidt3390
Yep! Caught him with a monster hook right on his chin!
He is in a class all to himself!
Liike
I worked with two of LeRoy Selmons brothers, and when i got to meet him, it was the same thing. One of the most humble guys i ever met.
I lived in Dallas for a number of years back when Randy played along with Ed "Too Tall" Jones. Went to most of their home games and watching Randy was so much fun. He wasn't the biggest guy but soooo strong.
Strong
One of my favorite cowboys of all time. They don’t make cowboys like that anymore.
That is a fact
He was my favorite player when I was a kid.My Uncles Ronnie&Jimmy took me to every home game from 6yrs old(76')to 25 (95')Early on they would let us kids out on field B4 warmups.I was scared of Randy,so never tried to speak to him.I think it was 92 or 93 season&l get to are seats,there he was.My Uncles set me up.He is the coolest most badass dude ever...Luv u 54!!!
Thanks for sharing bro!

Randy White was a beast, I seen him play at Maryland and was happy he came to my Cowboys
I older, so I watched all the teams of the '70's and Joe Greene and Randy White were the 2 best DT's of the decade.
My favorite defensive Cowboy growing up in the 80s
Thanks for watching 🙏
Mine too
Nice! I met Randy White in the early 90’s in Frisco, Texas at his BBQ restaurant, he had been retired for 4 or 5 years by then but man did he look like he could step on the field that minute and play a game. He was in great shape. He bought my table beer and then proceeded to autograph our hats and such. What a great guy and beast of a football player. I’ll never forget that moment. As usual Logical, great stuff, you’re the most underrated CZcamsr on the internet. I appreciate you, keep up the good work.
Thanks Coop for sharing this! Thanks for your support bro!
I saw Randy do this same thing numerous times at some if the restaurants in Mesquite! He always looked very fit and was very approachable!
@@svdd10 yes sir, he was one of the guys, it wasn’t one of those phony encounters either. He was really just a down to earth good old boy.
No mention of how often he was double-teamed. That freed up a teammate to make a play.
Dallas did such a good job of a transition with that defense from the late 60s and early 70s to the mid and late 70s. They did not miss a Beat
Thanks for watching 🙏
Another awesome informative video. Thank you very much, one of my favorite players of all time! He was a beast!
Thanks for watching 🙏 Randy was a legend!
Chuck Howley was another all-time great Cowboy linebacker who wore #54. Cowboy fans already know that, but Dallas just had a knack for cycling in one great player, after another, when the old Greats retired. It's how they stayed on top.
Facts! Thanks for watching 🙏
I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan and Randy White is my all time favorite player and I have been a fan since the 70's and as y'all know we've had a lot of great Hall of Fame players.
Thank You Randy for the Memories I will never Forget them.
Great video! Moose Johnson once said if just half the Randy White stories he heard was true then Randy was one of the meanest and toughest guys who played the game. He owned a bar in the Dallas area frequented by the Cowboys of the early 90s and many wild night occurred there... Great video again!
Wow! Thanks for sharing that bro!
My favorite football player. I was lucky enough to watch his entire career. He spent practically that entire career being double teamed. His motor never stopped. What a player, what an honor to have watched him play the game. Thank you my friend for the video. Great memories.
You're welcome bro 🙏
I like this version better. Great job.
Appreciate you bro!
Shout out to Randy White being part of those great Dallas teams from the past. Truly he was on America's team. One of the best to play the game. Him and Too Tall Jones. Shout out
Thanks for watching 🙏
Shout out
Don't even like the Cowboys. But Randy White was an idol to us all.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Great video. I see Randy White #54; I see Dallas Cowboys video history; and I instantly subscribe. Keep up the hard work like the Manster!!!!!!
Thanks bro!! Welcome to the channel!
@@thelogicalcowboy You earned it based on the vids I've seen so far. And I know my Cowboys history as a 52 year old lifetime fan.
Good work once again!
Appreciate you bro!
He, along with Jerry Rice and Eric Dickerson, Barry Sanders was so amazing, so unlike others, that once they were gone, you knew you would never see the like again.
I agree! Thanks for watching 🙏
Really one of my heroes growing up
My favorite Cowboy! Thanks again for a great video!
Thanks for watching 🙏
I'm like a broken record, but you're good. This was one of my favorites
Appreciate you bro!
he was great! I enjoyed watching him play. still have his poster.
My all time favorite Cowboy. Great video, man. -cheers!
Thanks bro 🙏
I bet Randy stands for the anthem. Like a real man. Like a boss.
I couldn't wait for this one!
Thanks bro!

He was the Manster for a reason
Exactly!
My all time favorite cowboy hands down when I went out for my first time trying to play that was the number I picked best wishes Mr.Randy White
Thanks for watching 🙏
Knew and played against Randy in HS, picture of him playing basketball against defender in “Rams” Jersey was my HS. Played against him in Football, basketball and baseball. Good athlete, great frame. Did we project him to what he became? No.....he was an outstanding football player but so were so many others. He had a growth and strength spurt in college that took him to next level. Good guy. His HS split off from our HS so we all knew each other.
Meet Randy White a lot here in Texas. Nice guy. Goes to Prairie House in Cross Roads.
A real Legend! Thanks for watching!
Wow wow thank you very much for that totally awesome my favorite player ever another aspect that he really excelled at was propelling his teams energy higher levels
WOW! When I was 11 when I was a 11-year-old kid I didn't realize I was watching greatness!
He was one of the best. The video brings back lots of childhood memories!
He played every position except the corner and the safety
😂 😂 he sure did!
@@thelogicalcowboy easily I might add
@@Longhorn.Rock_Roll61
😂😂
Randy white was an absolute beast. One of the reasons they called the defense DOOMSDAY. I was a rams fan back in the day and they scared me to death. Coupled with the fact we never had an adequate quarterback to combat those guys.
Another Logical banger vid! 🐐
Thanks bro!
Another excellent analysis on your part, wow! When they moved Randy from LB to DT I wondered if he was large enough. I found out that yes he was. Randy and Harvey worked so well together on that right side, amazing!
One of the greatest decisions in franchise history! Thanks G!
And TOO. Tall JONES. On other side. WOW
Possibly My favorite player! He was awesome, simply awesome. 👍
Legend!
In 1983 me and my girlfriend saw Dallas and Pittsburgh at tx stadium . To watch Randy while and no doubt the absolute best center the late great mike Webster . It was epic battle, at the end of the game they had such great respect for each other. That was my Superbowl. A truly magnificent day.
Thanks for watching
Thank you so much
❤🔥another great video of a Cowboys legend. Underappreciated how fast he was in the open field.
Thanks bro! Yeah his open field speed was legendary.

Awesome player and I heard he's a nice person..
It seems like all the interviews and stories that I've heard confirms this. Thanks for watching 🙏
Thanks, he was always my favorite Cowboy.
Thanks for watching bro 🙏🏽
I've gotten to hang out with him numerous times. What an awesome guy.
Randy was my favorite University of Md. Player .We used to frequent the Paragon and we were having a couple beers at the Italian Garden Restaurant waiting for the club to open and in walks Randy he was a Mountain of a Man a cross between the cartoon version of the royal mounted police and a Marvel Comic super Hero and he was an Imposing specimen of a human being and it was in all honestly intimidating .He walked up behind us and proceeded to have a few rounds of beer with us and he could not have been any nicer. Thank God Wish the skins could have drafted him
Another great video
Thanks 😊!!
I always heard Randy was strong as heck in high school benched 300 and over 400 in college he was never weak. He also wasn't small. 6 ft 4 260? He was a phenom on the D line. And I'm from Baltimore so I followed him in college.
Randy is a character someone asked earl Campbell who hit him the hardest in NFL career he said randy white earl said he was a brickwall with teeth.
😂😂
There's a video where Hollywood Henderson meats Earl Campbell at the line of scrimmage one on one and decleats him.....
I like that A Brick wall with
Teeth
At 11:15, I would've just dropped to my knees knowing this Grizzly Bear was behind me lol.
I grew up watching the Manster. He was fun to see. Him and Too Tall.
Another fantastic video!
Even when the Patriots were losing, it was enjoyable to watch John Hannah eat Randy White‘s lunch on every play!
I had a friend that played on the offensive line in the NFL during the Randy White era and he stated that Randy could do whatever he wanted to do and no one could stop him except on the plays that he took off....as most all NFL players will do once in awhile.
Delighted to see all the stories here from people who've met The Manster. I also met him a few years back and he was as genial and warm as one could hope for him to be. Contemporaneous offensive linemen might be inclined to disagree....😂😉
Landry Cowboys fan and Johnson Cowboys fan...good video, well done.
Appreciate it!
Randy White was a beast. Excellent 👍 football player . My favorite team till JJ bought the team. 🛑 Liking cowboys then. Go Hawks!

As a NFL fan for many decades, I will say he is the best l have ever seen at his position. It is just a coincidence that I am a Cowboys fan. He was a difference maker, and that is the type of player that goes in Hall of Fames and Rings of Honor.
.
I met Bob Lily once and he was the kindest man. Signed my business card for me. I still treasure it. Just a normal guy.
He was a beast!! My favorite defensive player on the Cowboys team.
I grew up watching the Manster and finally got to meet him in Oxnard... As old as he was, he still looked like he could play...

As a giants fan since 1957 i remember when the cowboys came into the league i always hated them always will but they've had so many great players over the years!
Logical C didnt u do a Harvey Martin Version of how good he was he???
Yep. But I'm going to do it over. Thank God it wasn't copywriten like the flex defense video. Lol. The audio wasn't good and it was too short. Thanks bro!
@@thelogicalcowboy I'm looking forward to that, big time!
I wouldn't say that he was the first undersized, athletic DT in history. In my lifetime, Alan Page set the standard for undersized DT's who thrived on quickness and athleticism. Now, even as a Vikings fan, and I love me some Alan Page, if you gave me a choice between White and Page, I would be awful tempted by White.
I stand corrected! Thanks for watching bro!
And I honestly don't remember him being thought of that way back then. he always looked pretty damn big to me. He played big, that's for sure.
I was going to make the same comment about Page,if I had to take one I would take White
@@paineintheass233 The time that Page played in was one in which the size of linemen was growing, pushing up to the 270 level, and Page himself was losing weight. Towards the end of his time with the Vikings, he was down to less than 220 pounds. Page's game was getting off the ball fast, hitting a gap fast, and exploiting it.
I grew up watching Randy he was my hero
I hadn't seen some of those videos. Thanks man. The Manster & Aaron Donald are the greatest under tackles to ever play the game IMHO.
Thanks for watching bro 🙏
No John Randle and Alan Page were better than both
Got to see him one time when he was doing a live remote for one of the local sports radio stations here in the DFW area (early 90s before the Ticket). You don't realize how big he is until you see him up close and in person. It was like looking at the side of a house, and I'm over six feet tall myself!
One of the best ever
Yes one of the best early
Anther tremendous talent and good human being. Fun times from a bygone era.

Got a chance to meet him in Addison. He was bigger than I could have imagined a very nice guy. I was lucky to meet Randy and Harvey co mvp's
People forget how good the Cowboys front four was. Randy White and Harvey Martin were so good playing off each other. Harvey had 20 sacks in 1977 and 14 in 1976 and 1978. Then there was Too Tall Jones who if he didn't get a sack could knock the ball down with his tall height. If they were doubling Randy then Harvey Martin would get a sack or Too Tall.
The greatest dline in history in my humble opinion!
When my son was a teen, Randy White comes into the steakhouse my son was a waiter. The hostess hadn't a clue who he was and informed Randy it'd be a 30 minute wait. My son spoke to the hostess and said, "You can't make this man wait! That's Randy "FUCKING" White!" She turned to Randy, "Is that right?" Without hesitation, "Yes mam, I AM Randy "FUCKING" White!"😂😂
