I remember hearing from Jimmy Johnson's former players, stating that he'd call them into his office and tell them Jimmy's expectations Jimmy didn't want to hear about what the player had going on in his life. Including family, outside employment, and lifestyles. He'd tell them if it's not about "winning football games" then they can kiss all that other stuff goodbye.
I concur with Jimmy. I don't care about what these players do via Twitter and what self promotion they got hustling. All I care about is us winning a 6th Super Bowl. Everything else is "nonsense."
I hope MM will instill this same attitude in this team.
i have no problem with insisting all other business dealings are backseats to the Cowboys and winning, but I do have a problem saying that a player's family concerns and issues are to be forgotten about while playing for the Cowboys. The player's family was there long before the Cowboys and will be there long after the Cowboys. To many people including players, family is the most important thing to them. I'm not saying that a player's family member has some kind of thing like a kid and a school concert and dad can't go because of his responsibilities to the Cowboys. That happens with a lot of people that have to work and miss family events. But if a family member is seriously ill, maybe has cancer, to think that a player is supposed to just block that out and forget it for win team win is ridiculous.
