Another reason to dislike the Cowboys?

[redsk1]

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips, who never says anything mildly controversial, jumped out of character and provided the Giants with some great bulletin-board material this week. Speaking to high school and youth football coaches in the Dallas area about the Cowboys, Phillips blurted out, "Get your ring finger ready, that's right."

Dallas Cowboys' first Super Bowl shot rings out to Giants

While every team in the NFL has aspirations to win the SB this year, it's probably a little aggressive for Wade Phillips to call his shot. I guess the Gmen aren't too happy about it.

Dear old Wade needs to actually win a playoff game first before making such lofty statements.

He just needs to stick a doughnut on that finger and shut the hell up.

[firstdown]

Well with the team he has if he thought other wise I have to question him. Now saying that out in public might be an issue sense they have not been able to get past the 1st game of the playoffs.

[J. Spanky]

of course he has his ring finger ready. because if he doesn't get it done this year he knows he'll have to get his walking boots ready!

NO Chance the Cowgirls win the SB this year, Greg Novis told me that the PAC MAN has been taking out FAT WADE and all the rest of those loosers to the cheapest strip clubs in dallas (he is broke as a joke) and they will all become "rain makers' and loose all asperation of the ring.

...........maybe the cowpukes need to win a playoff game first,ya think?

Reading the title, why would that be a reason to dislike the Cowboys. Wouldn't that come across as Nitpicking? What's wrong with a coach showing a little confidence in his team.

This is a new season.

I'm sporting my Skins jersey to work today and during lunch a Cowboy fan spots me in the elevator and sneers "it's going to be the Cowboys' year just like last year." I put the poor bastard in his place and remind him only a Cowboy fan would consider a one-and-done year a great year. Moral of the story? Keep your mouth shut unless you've won something important, or at least a playoff game.

I guess we just have to wait for the season but I feel this will end with a smile on my face. That smile may be from just Dallas first playoff win in a long time and not the big win. The big BIG win would make me have a smile on my face until the next season began.

What would you have done if he had put you in your place about SB wins. That is the ultimate goal. But winning playoff games is the first start. It's strange. Me and my Redskin fan buddies always get into these debates with each other. I will listen to them about Dallas's playoff woes. But........... When I mention SB wins the room seems to all of a sudden get quiet. I guess they were put in their place. LOL!

Ok. Here it is. First one of the year:
Dallas Sucks.

[vaoutlaws2006]

here's my take on that....wade better get that ring finger ready or better yet i got him getting that resume ready when he gets fired at the end of the season.

[Ruhskins]

I guess Wade knows he's getting fired, so he might as well say whatever the hell he wants.

[Hog1]

Well............if you have ever heard Wade speak he does not strike you as any........Einstein. He has made a pretty decent coach, but he totally sounds like a dumbass

You seriously need to change your avatar. Something in an ugly shade of blue would suit you well.

Until Dallas achieves that 6th ring, they still remain in the company of SF and Pittsburgh. If superbowl wins is an indication of a team's greatness then they cannot be heralded as such as long as they share that distinction.

It becomes tiresome when Cowboys fans have nothing better to offer in a football discussion other than attempting to deflect criticism with the 5 rings mantra. I never get that response from Steelers fans. They don't rest on their laurels and you can always count on them to engage in intelligent football discussions. Unlike the typical Dallas fan who, more often than not, struggles to name 5 players on their roster at any given time.
