I surveyed 100 people and one of the questions was, who is your favorite coach of the dallas cowboys? Seventy people said tom landry, fifteen said jimmy johnson, five said bill parcells, and ten answered other. One of those who answered other was my brother.

Questionnaire: one of the questions was, who is your favorite coach of the Dallas cowboys?

Interview: I asked him which coach was his favorite

Observation: I knew he was kidding because he had a smirk on his face. This observation showed that Barry Switzer was not really his favorite coach.
