Joe Theismann played for Tom Landry?? Is this true?

He just said he did on ESPN but I cant imagine when or how that slipped past me.

Does anyone know when he played for Landry?

Yea I agree. Head scratcher.

He's name dropping. Probably in an East West shrine game or something.

I asked him nicely on Twitter when he played for Landry & got no response, so I figured I'd try to antagonize him into a response and bingo (you were right, good call):

He said he played for Landry in Pro Bowls.

LOL.

That's hardly playing for Landry but I suppose when you're Joe and you wish you could have been a Cowboy instead of a crappy Commander you'll say you played for Coach Landry in any capacity that you can get.

Tom Landry coached him to "break a leg", but he didn't realize Theisman would take his coaching so literally
