You either love the Dallas Cowboys or you hate them. I grew up with them so I’ll plead the fifth on how I feel. But I’ll give you two reasons why the Cowboys are so absolutely awful these days.

Reason #1. Wade Phillips

Reason #2. See reason # 1.

Those of us who knew Wade in a previously life as coach of the Denver Broncos know this fact all too well. You can’t win a championship with Wade at the helm. It would be like Mr Rogers trying to get you there. Both nice enough guys just not the kind who could get you too revved up to win football games. And there you have it in a nutshell. I don’t understand why sports columnists need 750 words to say that.
