There was a Cowboy fan outside the bus at the St. Louis game today that was losing his mind...not at the players, but at four coaches! Read, Stewart, Phillips and Campo...It was awesome. Everyone shut-up let this guy go, and he ripped in to our staff!
All four of these guys made eye contact with him, and then sheepishly ducked their heads to get on the bus...Read looked shell shocked (and realistically took the a solid three minute blast), Stewart stunned (especially when he began to claim he can't do it at this level), Phillips aloof (as usual), ONLY Campo seemed to nod his head in agreement with what was being said (this guy was losing it screaming at him to coach up the secondary).
This guy expressed everything I wish I had enough guts (or that powerful a voice to)...I thank him.
For any of you who would criticize his "fan" status, don't you wish OUR coaches took it as seriously as he does?
He wore an Aikman jersey (doesn't really narrow it down)...just in case anyone knew who he was.
I would have joined that fan.
I remember the Ice Bowl, the No Danny, No Danny No game, the Catch, the bobble in Seattle.
It goes beyond winning or losing. I can handle losing, but not this way.
I can handle the team that falls to the ground on one knee, tired, smudged in mud and bloody after a hard-fought game in which the better team won.
I can handle bad play when the team, bless their hearts, give it their all and goshdarn it don't come out on top scorewise but walk with their heads held high after a game.
But digesting a game like this.
I feel disrespected in that these millionaires thought to call it in after the first score.
I just feel lousy that these well-paid coaches and player just go off in their private jet to their manses without much shame.
As a fan I feel abused and disrespected by their play. Their lack of preparation and their uninspired play.
I would have yelled. Louder. I would have invoked their Christian names like their parents once did during a scolding.
I would have also asked, do you know how your fans feel like?
Not that they would consider this.
But to me that is important.
