Is Beasley still "rapping"?

He only made the one album in 2018. Go figure. Listen at your own peril.

10 more days!! Honestly, I couldn't remember any significant former players who wore #10. I did remember Tavon Austin did, but other than him, I got nothing!! I'll wait for @Hagman to provide his list.
Current player wearing #10 is our "maybe QB2" Cooper Rush.

Here you go…

9 more days!!! Former players who wore #9 were Roger Ruzek and one of my favorite Cowboys, Tony Romo!!! Current player wearing #9 is Jaylon Smith.

9 days to Tampa Bay

Mitch Hoopes only spent his rookie season in Dallas, and the lasting memory I have of him is getting a punt blocked by Reggie Harrison early in the 4th quarter of SB X. The Cowboys held a 10-7 lead at the time. That momentum-changing play carried Pittsburgh to a 21-17 victory.

When Danny White arrived in 1976, Hoopes was traded to the Chargers. He would bounce around to half a dozen teams but never establish himself as a starter again. Hoopes died last year at the age of 67.

Fun Fact: Ron Widby switched from Number 12 to 10 in 1969 so Roger could have the number. Don't know how voluntary the decision was.

Just out of the Navy\ Military Service - Staubach probably didn't have much money to reciprocate the gesture...but I wouldn't doubt did something for Widby during or perhaps post -football career.

8 days to Tampa Bay

Three-time SB champion, and Hall of Famer, Troy Aikman

 

[maryquality]

Yep, 8 more days!!! Best Cowboy to ever wear #8 is Troy Aikman!! I don't believe anyone else has ever worn #8. Currently no player wears #8, and most likely never will.

I would rather listen to screaming monkeys in heat, lol.

That blocked punt was the back breaker in SB X.

Buzz Sawyer day!!!

A member of the Rhinestone Cowboys, the 1987 strike team, those 3 games made up the entirety of his NFL punting career.

By the way - I hate this week off after pre-season crap!

Is Beasley still "rapping"?

I don’t think he’s still rapping but that dude is always yapping.

Some Shakespearean stuff here:

But Sunday, Jerry's boss now when I ball out;
I'm a dog when Dak get the ball out;
Pull the sauce out;
Pour the sauce on em that's too much;
Good wife that's too clutch
Without a backbone you can't do much
Making moves like food trucks...
