Dan Hampton, the Hall of Fame defensive tackle, said the Dallas Cowboys are more 'Brokeback' than 'Eastwood' on Pro Football Weekly's television show.
In his discussion about the NFC East, Hampton said: "The Cowboys think they are Clint Eastwood; they're more of the Brokeback variety if you know what I'm talking about."
Eastwood is known for being a gritty, tough actor in numerous Western films. "Brokeback Mountain" was a 2005 film about the romantic and sexual relationship between two male Cowboys.
Hampton added: The Cowboys are "one team I would like to buy for their worth and sell for what they think they're worth. Look out. The Giants are going to be back."
That wasn't the only controversial comment Hampton made.
As he previewed Thursday's game between the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints, Hampton said, "The Vikings need to go down there and hit that town like Katrina."
Hurricane Katrina tore through New Orleans and Louisiana in 2005 and was the costliest natural disaster in the history of the U.S.
Hampton was a first-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in 1979 and played 12 seasons, earning first- or second-team All-Pro honors six times. He also played at the University of Arkansas
