Cowboys reporters NFL Draft 2022 tweet blows up in his face – New York Post

Dallas-area sports talk radio host Bob Sturm made a risky proclamation about the Cowboys in advance of the NFL Draft 2022.

“If they take Tyler Smith in Round 1, I will submit my retirement papers,” Sturm tweeted, in response to a collection of mocks in which ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. projected Smith to the Cowboys.

This tweet was sent Thursday morning. Fast forward to Thursday evening?

Announcer voice: With the 24th overall pick in the NFL Draft, the Cowboys select Tyler Smith, left tackle, Tulsa.

“It was a great run, guys. Love you,” Sturm tweeted after a follower told him he couldn’t send the retirement tweet without repercussions.

Sturm proceeded to tweet two videos he’d seen of Smith getting beaten defenders.

It’s presumable that he will not follow through on his retirement threat, but what a story it would be if he did just that.
