I work in a place we call a 3-ring circus. Kinda creepy, ain\u2019t it?<\/li>\n<li>I have lived in the Dallas area my entire adult life, and I have worked at two IT-type jobs in Irving, TX. Coincidence? Hardly.<\/li>\n<li>I even (this should raise major flags) interviewed once for a contract job with the Dallas Cowboys, while Smith was on the roster. I was given a fairly complete tour of the place, everywhere except restricted areas. While loitering in the main lobby, I even met and chatted some with George Teague, a safety who almost certainly knew Emmitt Smith personally. Extremely nice gentleman, by the way.<\/li>\n<li>One of my co-workers at one of those jobs in Irving had a sister who was currently dating Nathan Jones, a defensive back for the Dallas Cowboys at the time. Coincidence? Not likely.<\/li>\n<li>I am an avid Dallas Cowboys fan, frequently wearing the attire. I have replica jerseys of Jay Novacek and DeMarcus Ware, both of whom certainly know Emmitt Smith.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So the Terry Jones-Gainesville-Emmitt Smith-Irving-EPU nexus is pretty unmistakable. It is clear that I share some of the responsibility for this nut-job pastor in Florida. Good thing I\u2019m not the #1 talk show host in the nation. People might try to pin responsibility for Terry Jones on me. It\u2019s bad enough they try to pin <strong>Jerry Jones<\/strong> on me.<\/p>\n<p>So am I alone here. Anybody else out there have a tie to Terry Jones?<\/p>\n<p>[25 comments][7 recommends, 2 by Caballistas]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is scary, folks. It really is.
