Wade taking a firm hand to overweight players wallets

Well here is the 1st sign that WP is taking the accountability approach seriously when it comes to this year's team preparation.
http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2009/06/wade-phillips-puts-some-weight-behind-hi.html
The above link is a story from the DMN about how WP will assign each player a mandatory weight that they have to maintain; and if a player is found to be overweight then that player will be charged a league maximum $453 per pound. Remember that when BP was coaching the collective barganing agreement allowed for higher fines; WP is under the current one that has a lowered maximum on fines. I doubt that all fines are set at a max of $453, but this may have more to do with the type of team fine rather than any fine results in a $453 penalty.

Wade had various hefty fines in place last year ...
but their implementation failed to pass the JJ test who reduced them to obscenely low levels ($50, IIRC).

Wonder if that fine applies to himself, as well : >)

If he's setting the weights, then he would just set it at 400#
The issue magically goes away.

Wade Phillips fining people for being overweight is like Jeffrey Dahmer suggesting to someone that they should lay off the red meat.

He still hasn't resorted to snowsuits in Sept to hide his weight yet

Relax...
I think we can all enjoy our fat coaches. We don’t need to fight on this one. Wade is fat, Andy is fat, good times all around.
That said, I think Holmgren is the odds on favorite to be the walrus, which sucks for Reid, because he’d also be a great walrus, but we simply can’t have 2. I’m thinking Reid might have to settle for… Manatee?

I could be the walrus
that doesn’t change the fact that I don’t own a car

I feel sorry for the guy in charge of laundering Reid's under garmets
I hope he gets to wear a HAZMAT suit.

Last time I checked...
Wade isn’t being paid millions of dollars to run around on a 100yd field. Who cares if he’s overweight.

How does that conversation go?
Wade: I’m sorry son, but I have to fine you for being over weight.
Player: But coach…
Wade (cell phone rings and he answers): Yes, honey. I’ll be there on time. Big Butt Buffet at 6:00 sharp, uh huh, I got it. (hangs up)
Player: Uhhhhh coach?
Wade: Now son, you can’t just go around eatin’ whatever whenever however. You need to show restraint in yer eatin’ habits. I know exactly how you feel and how difficult it is to keep yer weight down.
Player: you do?
Wade: Yessir, I sure do. Boy, doesn’t that there Nick Folk remind you of a breakfast burrito? Yummm…
Player: I gotta go.

Wade is so fat ...
he has to wake up in sections.
he has so many chins it looks like he’s staring at you over a mound of pancakes.
he was baptized at Sea World.
i took a picture of him last season and its still printing.
he got arrested at DFW airport for having 70 lbs of crack.

Not that Wade's weight has anything to do with the players, but
That’s f***ing hilarious! LMAO
