Description: "Rude Behavior marks the return of Jenkins's best-loved character, Billy Clyde Puckett, good-old-boy halfback turned broadcaster. Bored with the cliches of the TV booth, Billy Clyde is hustling to win a new NFL franchise, the West Texas Tornadoes, with a lot of help from his oil bidness father-in-law, Big Ed Bookman. To build a team you need players, such as Pluribus Uram or Hepatitis Diggs, as well as a coach. Billy Clyde turns to T. J.

Lambert, his ex-teammate and current coach of the TCU Horned Frogs, who takes time out from waging his own private war against political correctness."--BOOK JACKET. "Meanwhile, Billy Clyde's best friend, Shake Tiller, the former all-pro receiver who has gone Hollywood, is directing a movie starring his old flame, the nearly perfect Barbara Jane Bookman, who happens to be Billy Clyde's wife."--BOOK JACKET.
