Sports talk shows are often filled with broken promises and empty threats. Case in point, Thursday when Dallas radio personality Bob Sturm stated on his Twitter that he would retire if the Cowboys drafted offensive tackle Tyler Smith with their round one selection.
If they take Tyler Smith in Round 1, I will submit my retirement papers. #WinWin https://t.co/AhM6paHJRN

And true to his word, Sturm announced his “retirement” shortly after the pick on his Twitter account.
It was a great run, guys. Love you. https://t.co/dLKCuLxVLf

The retirement was short-lived however as the Cowboys personality went back to analyzing the pick, citing many issues with their new tackle.
But the backfired promise did gain him some publicity as several news outlets (like us here at Mediaite) picked up the story quickly.
So famous! https://t.co/iNmFBETPwc
