I hate to read but this book made me read on

Walt Garrison is a true cowboy who became a Cowboy. His wit is dry and his humor is natural. This is a great story about how Walt went from a tough as a boot rodeo cowboy to a hard nosed, not big enough, not fast enough Dallas Cowboy. Full of humor throughout. I rarely laugh out loud but this kind of humor got to me. If you remember Walt Garrison from the NFL or the Skoal commericals "Just a pinch between my cheek and gums" you'll be able to here his hard county accent when you read it which adds to the humor. If you can find this book...read it, you won't be disappointed.

This book should be read by all 70's Dallas Cowboys fans.

I checked this book out from my local Libary and read it and my mom did the same. When the locker room was talked about I almost wish I was in there. It was a awsome book!

Great Book for any fan of The 70's Cowboys

I have read this book quite a few times and it never gets old. It is the funniest sports book I have ever read and any old Cowboy Fan will feel the same way. Enjoy and great reading.
