Texas country singer Kinky Friedman stunned ESPN viewers on Wednesday when he referred to the bromance between Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as "the most important, latent homosexual relationship since Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson."
Friedman, sporting a cowboy hat and puffing a cigar, continued by adding, "They both desperately want to be loved ... and I agree that being in the owners' box is not the way."
Here's a short clip of the segment:
The segment also included Star-Ledger columnist Paul Mulshine.
According to NJ.com:
Mulshine was critical of the optics of Christie hanging with a billionaire.
“It was really bad for his everyman image,” Mulshine said.
Host Bob Ley apologized to the audience for Friedman's remarks following the segment.
Of course, Friedman's comments sparked a wave of reactions on Twitter.
