Not a lot of people are happy with the Cowboys’ defense on Sunday night and that includes Texas Governor Greg Abbott

Sunday night the Dallas Cowboys had one of the worst losses they could have ever imagined. They took the New Orleans Saints to overtime, but that extra period did not last long. Quickly, Drew Brees would hook up with C.J. Spiller for the 80-yard touchdown to get the win, as the Cowboys’ defense was confused and bewildered.

That being the case, not many folks were not happy with the Dallas defense for their lack of effort on the final play, and that included Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Although, he had a pretty odd way of expressing his frustration.

When it came to letting his feelings known, he went out of his way to compare the Dallas defense to — border control.


Yes, that was something that actually happened. That is how bad things have gotten for the most famous of Dallas Cowboys fans, even the Governor of the entire state of Texas.

May not have been the best way to get the point across, and it might get some people upset. But, hey, we all have different ways to express out anger, I guess?

OK, this was probably a REALLY bad idea.
