I know Cowboy Chris, we watch games together in Orlando and here's who he is and why it happened.

He is a former high school quarterback and played and coached college baseball. I coached college basketball. I'm sure there are many of you who are like us in that we don't paint our faces, we don't ask for autographs or hang out in the team hotel. I understand that and appreciate the passion, it's great. We get just as nervous, get just as mad and down when we lose and get just as excited when we win.

We just take a more analytical approach to players and performance. Chris (nor myself) do not pretend to know x's & o's. We don't understand professional linebacker gap responsibilities or pre-snap reads but we do know this.

There are certain tenants in athletics that are a constant in order to succeed.

Preparation, Execution, Discipline, Passion and Accountability.

Chris saw none of that in this team and he lit those guys up. A cop almost kicked him out of the area but left him alone because he wasn't swearing and he wasn't abusive...he was simply right.

He was being a loud, overbearing douchebag.

And that is completely his right and prerogative.

But still, he was being a loud, overbearing douchebag.

This thread is about 2 months too late. Its not like the "whatever" you said chris said wasn't happening in training camp! What's next you are going to tell us that the 02 Cowboys didn't have Dedication, Execution, Prep... what ever! I'm sure he is a good guy but Spare us the lecture on how bad a Jerry's team plays!

Really? Then why was he losing his mind like a five year old who'd had his toys taken away?

I don't see any "truth" here. So he played in high school and coaches another sport. So what? That makes it cool for him to act like a big baby?

I used to feel sorry for him for the same reason until I remembered he is making bank and his life will be just dandy if he gets fired.

Heck, compared to what Wade makes, I feel sorrier for myself. :D

His analytical approach sure was loud.

Next time, make sure the kiddoes are not around. They are there for the football and to look up at their idols, not to hear some overgrown baby express his personal outrage.
There were fans there who clearly thought he went too far and seemed disgusted, though the fan was correct to be angry.
