Wade said What ???????
Wade Phillips, with his army of talent behind him, was feeling a little bit braggadocious last night. Speaking to a crowd of high school and youth football coaches, Phillips, sounding like a hybrid of Terrell Owens and Jerry Jones, told the crowd to "get the ring finger ready."
And under most circumstances, maybe it's not the smartest thing in the world to pop off like that. Humility plays better with the forces of karma, and Phillips doesn't need any pressure on him that he doesn't already have.
I can't believe that - he just spewed his way outta Dallas

He was playing to a crowd of dallas reporters
Dont read to much into this, he was joking with the media, it’s no big deal.

I usually hate when someone puts up BB material
But in this case, he has a team with the talent to back it up. Plus he was just playing around with the media. It’s not like his statement will cause other teams to hate us any more than they do already.

Wade
Wade said it because it ishis last year as the cowboy coach and he knows it really doesn’t matter..
If I Wade I would have said the same thing, nothing to lose B@lls to the Walls..

it was just a joke and no big deal,
but i think it would be wiser to avoid statements like this.

so what
If Jimmy Johnson can guarantee a playoff victory, then Wade certainly has the right to predict a SB win with the talent level on the Cowboys.

like JJT said in his blog
there is no acceptbale reason other than a season ending injury to either Romo or T.O. why the Cowboys shouldn’t win the SB this season, so why not say it?

Are you really complaining about this?
Really?
If anything I wish he would have looked square into the camera with an expression of unwavering and unapologetic confidence, announcing it to the entire football world. A declaration of superiority. There is only one destination for myself and this team, if you want this ring, just come and try and take it from us! Boooyaah!

Snap
Wade is a fool for saying this. He has not even won a playoff game yet in his coaching career. Sure, many expect the Cowboys to be a top contender for the SB, but don’t say it in public
Why did he have to say something so stupid? We probably won’t even make the playoffs now. Idiot.

CALM DOWN MAN
The ‘Boys are that good and that’s why he said that. He knows the ‘Boys can win the super bowl and he’s just saying it. It’s not like he guaranteed a super bowl championship. So calm down

BB Material
So what if it’s BB material for other teams. I think that’s good for Dallas to be playing the other teams best. It’s not like teams don’t already get up for Dallas anyway, especially in their own division.

more to the story...
I was listening to the Dunham & Miller show on the Ticket this morning here in Dallas and they had an interesting bit of information. Apparently one of the people in attendance was present at this conference and he wrote into the show. He said that as Wade was taking the stage there was a guy in the crowd who was chanting “get your ring finger ready!” loudly and this went on for some time. Apparently Wade was joking not only with the crowd but especially with the hardcore fan….Take it for what it’s worth, but that’s what was said here this morning about it.

the truth of the story actually seems to be different
See comment here at Ranch Report:
I wanted to take up for Wade Phillips speech because Engel was there and cant even get the story correct. Here is what happened, Wade Phillips was introduced and was walking to the podium while he was there was a gentleman up front yelling over and over GET YOUR RING FINGER READY! GET YOUR RING FINGER READY! he yelled it at least 10 times. Wade looked at the table and then went on speaking, toward the end of the speech the guy starts yelling it again GET YOUR RING FINGER READY! Wade Phillips gets a smirk on his face and says yes get your ring finger ready. Bad reporting starts a lot of crap, now I wonder about all of the things I have read through the years was blown out of proportion.I was sitting next to the table that was yelling GET YOUR RING FINGER READY! Now I wonder how many things reported are not true!

What a crock
It gets easier to see everyday why athletes and coaches get fed up with the media. Way to take a total non-story and run with it, I’m surprised this isn’t front page news at ESPN.
Good god man, will the season ever start?
