Say what you will, but you know and I know that Barry Switzer’s a straight up baller.
The Crossett native and former Razorback had a desperately poor, hardcore upbringing– daddy was a bootlegger, momma shot herself – so it’s not hard to grasp where he got the fire that propelled him to four national championships (one as an Arkansas assistant and three as Oklahoma’s head coach) and a Super Bowl win with the Dallas Cowboys.
Over and over,the Switzernator has proven he could win, and win his way. So if the retiree decides to rest on his laurels, kick back and let his guard down in these golden years, are we to blame him?
Maybe he lets his hair down by heading to the family vineyard, dancing with Dionysius a little while thumbing merrily on his smartphone. Or maybe he’s laissez-faire enough to allow some nefarious twit to highjack his Twitter account.
Whatever Switzer does to let loose, Switzer definitely did Saturday night while San Franciso 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick ran roughshod over the Green Bay Packers:
Can't wait till some female tell's me option football will work in NFL.

If it was just Switzer in a room with some good ole boys, comments like that barely cause a ripple.
On Twitter, they turn into a Category 3 Hurricane:
OK, who let Barry Switzer on the internet? RT @Barry_Switzer: Can't wait till some female tell's me option football will work in NFL.

Barry Switzer drinks a bottle of wine and then gets on Twitter. We all do that, but he's way better at it.

It wasn’t a total Hindenburg of a night for the ol’ coach. He did get some love:
