He’s looking forward to new music if he could just…get…to it…“We haven’t had no time to work on it because I’ve (only) been home about two or three days for the past three months, it seems like, and I haven’t been writing. I’ve been doing nothing but touring. So, I’m gonna get some songwriting in and finish this album.” He sounds a little frustrated…

The time slips by fast—mentally, he’s going to play football; and doesn’t even think about working out…. maybe have to try that…

A little something for the beer drinker and Dallas Cowboys fans in 2022. Fox NFL announcer Troy Aikman is releasing a new beer in February called Eight. The healthy beer is made with organic grains, antioxidant hops and no sugar. The beer only has 90 calories BUT will NOT help you throw a fifty yard pass into a trash can. Although you may THINK you can after a few of them.
