The roughest toughest son of a bitch you know. This man drives the biggest ram truck and shows up to a gun fight with his fists. He ties barb wire without gloves and rides world champion bulls for 16 seconds. This man could light a marlboro red before it even leaves the pack. Death fears a cowboy and he fears nothing.
