Consisting of 525 questions, the trivia app is timed and consists of questions from all areas of football, not only Dallas Cowboys. The game may be played multiple times, but only the first score will count towards the win. Multiple pictures of Arlington and the City of Arlington are embedded within the application, along with links to www.arlington.org and www.drewpearson88.net.

Drew Pearson, known as "Mr. Clutch," began his career with the Cowboys in 1973 as a free agent and played until 1983 with the number "88. "He is perhaps best known for catching the 'Hail Mary' pass from Roger Staubach, one of the most famous football plays of all time, in a 1975 playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings. He was named "All Pro" three years, played in the Pro Bowl three times and helped the team to three Super Bowl appearances with a win in 1978.

"We're excited to be working with one of our football heroes on this application," says Jay Burress, President & CEO of the Arlington CVB.  "He's been a great partner to our CVB in the last year, and it's a pleasure to work with him as we get the Arlington name out."

To download the application to an iPhone or iPhone Touch, go to iTunes and search "Drew Pearson." A Droid version will be in development for the 2011 football season.

The application was developed by YOUniversal Ideas in conjunction with WhamMobile and the Arlington Convention & Visitors Bureau. Kristi Scales, sidelines reporter for Dallas Cowboys radio, authored the questions.
