Dallas Cowboys Patrick Crayton and San Antonio beer from RIO Video Productions on Vimeo.
The dog days of summer are starting to wind down, and none to soon. Here's a question. Who will miss San Antonio's record setting days of 100 degree stifling heat? It's unanimous. None of us will.
One thing San Antonio could miss is all the glitz and glamour the Dallas Cowboys brought to our city this summer. The NFL regular season starts in two weeks, but it was the Cowboys month-long stay in the Alamodome that gave us all an up and close look at America's Team.
Right before camp officially closed in mid-August, I had the honor of visiting with wide receiver Patrick Crayton. I asked him what he would remember most about San Antonio, and boy did he kick out the best answer ever.
"The people, same thing in 2007. A bunch of loud people," said a smiling Patrick. "Oh, cold beer at 9 in the morning. It's gotta be the best thing. I have never heard of that. Is that legal?"
My answer to Patrick's question:
"I think it is (legal)."
Patrick's response:
"That's legal. 9:20 we come out and we are getting ready to stretch for practice. We get out here and (you hear) peanuts! Cold beer! I was like cold beer? Gah dog. That's a lush isn't it? Oh well, hey, good ole' San Antonio baby."
Like the song says. It's five o'clock somewhere! Make mine a Shiner Boch.
