Texas Governor Sends Out Fire Tweet After Cowboys Blow It Against The Saints

Texas governor Greg Abbott has always made it clear that he is a football fan first, politician second.

At no point in his tenure has that been more clear than during the Cowboys’ collapse Sunday night, when he sent out this fire tweet about Dallas’ terrible defense.

It was a bad weekend for Abbott, who is an alum of the University of Texas. On Saturday, the Longhorns were curbstomped by TCU, 50-7.

More politicians need to be like this. If our politicians wanted to relate to their constituents, they’d do this more often. Nothing makes a man seem more relatable than seeing the life drift away from him after his football team loses. It is a feeling we can all understand.

The best part of this tweet is that it reads like something my crazy uncle would’ve posted as his Facebook status. Isn’t Abbott in charge of our shitty border? I know it’s more complicated than that, but it feels like this would be like me tweeting “The Houston Texans are worse than a Steve Holt column!”

The best part of this Tweet is how it offended everyone.

“This is the man we put in charge?!”

“He’s no leader!”

That shit is hilarious to me. If you want to win my vote in the future, you’ll have to prove you are a crazy football fan like Abbott.

    I hope you get kidnapped by an illegal immigrant, hauled back across the border, and sold into human trafficking.

      Seems a bit extreme for a guy who just writes shitty columns that you don’t have to read

    Youve made progress today Steve..the first step is admitting. And today you admitted that youre articles are shit. It kills me to say this, but Im proud of you Steve. If you keep having days like this eventually youll realize writing isnt for you, and quit TFM all together.

      I don’t think ANY NFL team is worse than a Steve Holt column. And this was some of his better work. #BlackballSteveHolt

        There isn’t a *high school team* that’s worse than a Steve Holt article. Also Steve, our wide open border isn’t because of Texas, it’s because the federal government refuses to enforce our immigration laws and will penalize Texas if they do. Read a book you piece of shit.

      That doesn’t even make sense. I guess you’re trying to be funny but try actually looking at his stats
