Sick, just sick

I hope there is no truth to this article.  This just makes me sick.  So I guess tough Wade didn't show up until yeasterday.  Mike Shanahan is available, all he did for the Broncos was win two Super Bowls.  I hope the Lions do hire Garrett, maybe he takes Wade with him.  Some one please slap some sense in Jerry

Disgraceful

Sickening is a good way to describe this situation. The team has completely fallen apart.

The Lunch Break radio show several weeks ago mentioned these players don’t take the games too hard on the plane ride home. When they asked Kevin Burnett about it, he said they players needed to let off steam, and if they carried the stress of the games with them, it would begin to affect their health. If this is true, I’m really happy our players are in good health.

Jimmy Johnson was legendary for enforcing a morgue-like atmosphere on plane rides home after losses. The sloppy play, lack of concentration, poor decision making and general lack of attention to detail is a reflection of the half-hearted attitude of the team.

No leadership. No heart. No will to win. It shows on the field, and it showed on the flight.

I remember...

…Patrick Crayton once said on Hard Knocks last summer that the only thing more important that wanting to win is hating to lose.

Unfortunately — and apparently — a lot of the current Cowboys don’t place any value in that.

And Deke is dead on. In order for this to change, it all starts at the top.

The attitude of this team sickens me.

The Jimmy-J haters can poo-poo my comments all they want, but I loved the fact that he never allowed this type of behavior under his regime.

Guess that’s why he’s a hell of a lot better coach than Cream Puff-Stay Puft Marshmallow Cupcake Wade Phillips.

The title of this post best describes my feeling about today’s Dallas Cowboys.

I hope this isn't true

because if it is true, this is not just sickening but a picture of the soul of this team-uncaring, selfish, foolish, and childlike. After the Eagles loss I felt like someone punched me in the gut. I couldn’t even talk to family or co-workers about the Cowboys for several days. I was almost depressed, and I mean clinically depressed, about the state of the Dallas Cowboys. HOW DARE the players joke, laugh and celebrate after such an embarrassing loss!!! I hope this story is not true.

What else would you expect ?

From a team that humiliated itself just hours before.
