A big day for the Phillips family

Brad Townsend has a nice story in today's Dallas Morning News about Wade Phillips and his family-oriented coaching philosophy.

I still think Wade ought to break out one of his daddy's hats on the Cowboys sideline. :)

UPDATE: As it turns out, it wasn't such a great day for the Phillips family, as the Cowboys' and Wade Phillips' playoff difficulties continued.

I like my team's quarterback

Romo won't tap Tank for info (DMN Cowboys Blog)

Tony Romo held a conference call with Chicago reporters today and got grilled about Tank Johnson. Romo responded with a pretty good wisecrack when asked if he'd pick Tank's highly intelligent brain about the Bears' scheme.

"He's a D-lineman," Romo said. "There's going to be no secrets there. He's going to say, 'I like to play a one-technique.' OK, thanks."

That's funny!

Good job, Romo.

The best time of year

I don't care that it's pushing mid 90s with humidity that feels about the same in Houston, even though it's been mild most of the summer (by our standards).

The long, bad part of the year is officially over, because football is back.

And all things seem possible in preseason (unlike, say, December when the Jersey Con Man is in charge of your team's defense) -- Woo!

He didn't just compare himself to Jesus?

Roy calls criticism unfair (Mac Engel, Fort Worth Star-Telegram)

This Roy Williams is thrilled about his role in a defense that promises to use him more like the player he was at Oklahoma and in his first two seasons with the Cowboys.

And the Roy Williams who spoke after Friday's practice smiled, laughed and seemingly was understanding of his critics.

When asked if he ever tires of the seemingly endless criticism that is thrown his way, Williams said, "All the time. All the time. It's cool, though.... It's OK to get criticized. Jesus was criticized; he was persecuted. What makes me any different?"

Err, yeah, right.

I can't help but think that Jesus would be a significant upgrade in pass defense after watching Roy Williams try and fail at pass coverage in recent years.

Jesus probably wouldn't hit as hard as Roy, but I bet He would break up more passes.
