Justin Phinisee of the Cowboys

Many people are known for inventing many famous things. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone and Lil Jon invented Crunk. But one thing nobody has claimed is the green tips on dreads. This is the inventor, his name is Justin Phinisee and he is a cornerback on the Dallas Cowboys. Most people would remember him as the guy on Hard Knocks with the Kansas City Chiefs fighting for the return man job. More recently he is the guy with the sick dreads standing behind Pacman Jones while ESPN is talking about Cowboys mini camp. Phinisee was taken by the Bucs in the 7th round of the 2006 draft out of Oregon. Hopefully he makes a team this year as we only want the best for the man who created the green tip.
