Drunk Talkin’

April 17, 2010

I’m kinda upset that someone taped (is that still a word?  OK, digitally recorded) Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones trash talking Tim Tebow and Bill Parcells.  That’s hitting a little below the belt as far as most Real Texans out here are concerned.  We believe we have the right to drunkenly spout off whenever and wherever […]
