America’s Team!

The difference between T.O., Pacman, Tank and Benson is that those other guys can play.
bye bye C-Bong... don’t let the door knob hit you on the way out.
Um, no, we don’t need a 4th rb, and Benson’s not NFL worthy as he’s demonstrated. Dallas has the best talent in the league for a reason.
