Jerry Jones = Crazy Man

I'm convinced that the only thing separating Jerry Jones from being one of those crazy, homeless panhandlers who wines about the government taking everything from him is the fact that Jerry Jones is wealthy. Very wealthy. That doesn't lessen his total insanity, though. To-wit: None of his coaches are allowed to speak with the media during the offseason, not even head coach Wade Phillips. The only person allowed to speak is Jones himself (and, I guess, his players). I can understand assistants not being allowed to talk to the media (Parcells and Belicheat have similar rules), but not allowing your head coach to speak to the media? Crazy much?
There was a lot of talk this season about how Phillips lost control of the locker room. There was a lot of talk about how the players stopped respecting Romo over his bromance with Jason Whitten. We saw what happened to the Cowboys. To say they fell apart doesn't begin to tell the story. So, Jerry, explain to me how it is that the team will respect their head coach, how will he be able to regain control of the locker room, if he isn't even allowed to speak to the media? Isn't it more likely that the players, when they have a problem, will say to themselves, "This chump ain't the boss, I ain't going to listen to him. I'll go talk to Jerry, he's the boss." And, you know what, they'd be right.
If I were Wade Phillips, I'd tell Jerry where he could stick it and bolt. But, as you can imagine, Wade didn't lose control of the locker room because he took charge and stood up for himself. The team didn't fall apart because Wade made it clear what was expected of the players. This ought to be a fun year in Dallas, to say the least.

1. Wade Phillips is a idiot
2. TO is a cancer
3. Your all still on the Belicheat stuff?
4. Romo is overrated like Favre, basically the same player

I wouldn't say that Wade is an idiot. He's just not cut out to be head coach for a team like that. He's a brilliant coordinator, but not so much of a head coach.
I totally agree on TO.
As for Belicheat, that is the gift that keeps on giving.
Romo is overrated, but I think that had he not been hurt, the team makes the playoffs.
