The great Cowboys running back from the 1970s passed away at the age of 64.

Not trying to nitpick, but "great"?

Decent, hard nosed player. Ironic that as a runner, his best known play was the pass to Golden Richards against the Broncos. But I remember him this way:

Newhouse was a great to those grew up watching the team at that time. Very unselfish player and a heckuva nice guy. Sorry to see this.

I remember as a little kid, they said his thighs were so big, they were larger than most grown men's waist. I don't know if it is true or not, but it certainly struck an image in ones mind.
