Eli Manning confirmed he signed the wall inside the visitors' locker room at Cowboys Stadium after the New York Giants beat the Cowboys in September, but he said he was asked to sign the wall.
Wade Phillips didn't agree.
"It wasn't anybody from our organization that asked him," Phillips said, adding, "Things come back around in this league. I respect the team we play. That's the way I approach the game and I expect our players to do the same thing."
Bradie James was upset about Manning's signature and it's been a topic this week heading into the rematch.
"Eli is a classy player, a great player," Phillips said. "I really respect him, especially his family. I mean I played football against his dad in college. They're a great family. I don't think he meant anything by it but it wasn't a great thing for him to do."
The Giants open up a new stadium next year. Would the Cowboys sign a wall should they win?
"I wouldn't expect us to do that," Phillips said.
