I don’t think Wade Phillips can help sounding like an idiot each and every time he answers questions from the media. Now don’t get me wrong, I like Wade he is a good old boy, good football roots, and at present time he is the chosen sideline puppet of Jerry Jones. This entire week Phillips has been asked questions about the win over the Bengals, *How can you say your guys are focused*?, *Are you happy about his 9 point win over an 0-4 Bengal team when you guys jumped out to a 17 point lead*? This Bengals team was a playoff team two years ago, there is no clear cut reason to why they have fallen to 0-5. That Bengals team also took the Giants to overtime a few weeks ago, so this Bengals team isn’t really all that bad. Then Phillips was asked why T.O. was crying on the sideline during the Bengals game? *Was he?, I didn’t know anything about that.
Just like in the above video, Phillips doesn’t seem to know much about what goes on with his team. You would think if you were about to go into a press conference, especially after the Pacman Jones altercation you would have all your facts ready to go, and not say “Well I don’t know about that”, and “The facts are going to present themselves”?? The fact of the matter is, I don’t think Jerry Jones had finished preparing Phillips speech to the media, so Jones instructed Phillips to act stupid!
The investigation into what happened with Pacman is over. The Cowboys have no interest in finding out what really happened that night. The Cowboys only focus at this point is traveling to Arizona to play (in my opinion) a very losable game. Especially with the Cowboys defense being suspect pretty much this whole season. When Lajitas called me yesterday to rant about the Devil, aka Jerry Jones, he said *The Cowboys investigation into Pacman is over, all they did was look down the depth chart and realize how beat up that secondary is”. You know that pretty much says it all. With Newman, Watkins, and Williams out this week, and the 1st round draft pick Jenkins already covering Roy Williams spot, the Cowboys couldn’t afford to do the right thing in this situation.
If you claim to have a zero tolerance policy for a troubled player, zero tolerance should still hold the same meaning regardless if your beat up in the depth chart. Jerry Jones has said time and time again, *I have clear guidelines for Pacman, he knows what he needs to be doing*. Well Jerry, seems as of Thursday when you decided you would not punish Pacman for his actions, Pacman bitch slapped you across the face like a stripper at the shake joint, challenged your authority, called your bluff, and will be a starting cornerback in the NFL come Sunday!

Let’s see….Whitewater Scandal—-Arkansas
Stargate—-Arkansas raised owner
Must be something in the Ozarks. Bum never looked that dumb, but then he didn’t have to deal with morons like Pacman. All he had to deal with was Pastorini’s DWI. It’s funny how folks can stick their heads in the sand when they don’t want to see a problem. Kinda like the Democrats in Congress with the Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac scandal. “There’s no problem there. Just because the directors took millions in ‘bonuses’ and now we have to bail them out, that doe not constitute a problem.” Right. And the Titanic only had to deal with an ice cube. Now let’s see if Goodell has any heuvos. Bet you a fifth of Tullamore Dew he doesn’t.
