Former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson is an entertaining follow on Twitter for any Cowboys fan. Even if you're not interested in his frequent tweets about fishing, boating or his beautiful home in the Florida Keys, there are plenty of insightful opinions about his experiences with the Cowboys and the direction of the franchise he helped win two Super Bowls.

Should the Cowboys look at Burress because of Miles Austin's hamstring injury and Dez Bryant's immaturity? Johnson: "no.not a big fan of Plaxico"

Who will win the season opener between the Cowboys and Giants? Johnson: "Dallas Cowboys bank on it!"
Will the Cowboys do better than last year? Johnson: "yes you can go to the bank on it"
