At the same time, a good mom will let you know when you need to be better. That was the case here as Beebe's mom had no problem letting him know when she had to adjust to the snap. It might not seem like much to her but it's going to help the Cowboys' offense when he's snapping the
The best part of this all? There is video proof.
