1. Drew Pearson Trolls Philly

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Drew Pearson may have a future in the WWE if his post-NFL broadcasting career doesn’t work out.

Pearson embraced the boos as he hit the podium after asking fans “How Bout Them Cowboys?” After that, he proceeded to shoutout all his Cowboys faithful, from the front office to the coaches and former players to loud boos.

As an Eagles fan, this was still good stuff to see from Pearson. He inserted his name into the discussision before announcing the 60th overall pick and in doing so, put some relevancy to his own name. Some may not respect what Pearson did, but not many would have the audacity to do what he did at the same token.

He was an undrafted free agent who signed with the Dallas Cowboys in 1973. Pearson made three Super Bowl appearances with Dallas, winning Super Bowl XII in 1978. His number “88” jersey is reserved for thre better receivers on the team. Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin and current wide receiver Dez Bryant are some noteable names who wore the jersey after him.
