The son of Bum has ruined three prime years of Dallas Cowboys football, see Romo, Ware, Barber and Witten. The beleaguered head coach has pissed away a 13-3 home field advantage,was on the sideline for the Philadelphia Phold, has sent DeMacus home on a cart, and has presided over the three most disappointing seasons in the history of Dallas Cowboys football. From Flozell Adams to Nick Folk, mediocrity is tolerated under the pwuss Wade. This son of a bitch Bum should be skinned alive and Fired on Monday.

Bringing back Wade and expecting anything different than a December fade is ignorance defined.The Cowboys held hostage... only 21 days and 50 hours until the Wade Phillips regime is thankfully brought to a close.

The 2009 season for the Dallas Cowboys was lost the second Tony Romo boarded that plane to Las Vegas. Not even one day after Thanksgiving - a time when Romo historically pursues other warm-weather interests, the best quarterback never to win a playoff game sent a message to the entire team... it's OK to take time off during the most important stretch of season. And on Sunday, Keith Brooking, Marion Barber, the special teams, Nick Folk, the coaching staff, and other Cowboys all followed his lead.

And, for the second time in three years, the beleaguered Wade Phillips let this high-profile excursion happen on his watch. Dressed like the Pillsbury dough boy, Phillips continues to let the inmates run the asylum and will be looking for work in four weeks. Sporting a persona best described as part Joe Bfstplk and part deer in the headlights, Phillips has become Kevin Gilbride's personal whipping post. It's embarrasing see the dour Wade Phillips on the sidelines.

Phillips should be fired today. Bringing back Wade and expecting different results in December was a poor decision to begin with. He couldn't motivate cheerleaders on Red Bull, clearly doesn't set Super Bowl goals, and is way too content with his winning record as head coach; although, like Romo, he's never won a playoff game. The Cowboys need a personality who can lead as the makeup of this team is flawed from the inside, which has been proven time and time again. Successfull teams can't have a soft quarterback AND a soft coach... make the switch now before the annual meltdown is complete.

Then again, if tossing away another football season to help out a few Vegas strip club charities is the worst thing to happen, then it's probably been a good year in retrospect. Hell, Wade has another "non-losing season" to hang his hat on. Unbelievalbe... if only people would listen to Tex's alarm bells.

Here we go again... it's after Thanksgiving and the best quarterback never to win a playoff game is already off to Vegas. The biggest game of the season looms, yet the nightmares of Decembers past continue to be ignored.

This week in New Jersey the Dallas Cowboys can stake claim to the tournament; unfortunately, Romo treats these weeks like an audition for the Bachelor. Tex doesn't want to know which divorced skank celebrity reality star will be on the trip home from Sin City, but the sky is falling, again and nobody gives a damn.

A loss to the Giants and a five game slide to end the season is probable. Then again, it won't be the worst thing ever to happen to the slippery fingered Bill Buckner Romo. The Cowboys, under the beleaguered Wade Phillips, could have secured a playoff spot with a win against the Packers... but they failed to show up. Chances are, these fair-weathered underachievers will toss this opportunity away as well.

It's time to sound the alarm bells.

After throwing that incredible shin dig at the Martini Ranch in Phoenix for Super Bowl XXX, Tex never could have imagined that it would be the last meaningful celebration for the next fifteen years. Listen, Tex wants one more Super Bowl before wading off into the Montecito sunset, and it’s clear that this group isn't going to get it done.

Wade Phillips is not a leader of men, nor should he be a head coach in the National Football League. Phillips should have been relieved of his duties right after his team quit in Philadelphia last year. Running out this same group, which lacks intelligence, heart, toughness, and teamwork makes no sense. The beleaguered Phillips has allowed the same players to make the same mistakes for three years now - three of the most disappointing years in franchise history. Wade Phillips will not be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys next year and should be fired during the bye week.

And, has there been a more disappointing player ever to put on a Cowboys uniform than Tony OhNo!? The Seattle Slip was a clear foreshadowing of his horrific career. Tex said it at the time, Romo's career was done after that play. Hall of fame chokes like Jean Van de Velde, Bill Buckner, Scott Norwood and Donnie Moore never recover - in fact, the latter shot himself. Fortunately for Romo he's got golf, reality skanks, & cocktails with umbrellas... if snatching defeats from the jaws of victory is the worst thing that ever happens to him, then he'll have lived a pretty good life.

On the flip side, the slippery-fingered quarterback has been the worst thing to ever happen to the Dallas Cowboys. His premature coronation has stunted the pursuit of a viable signal caller for five additional years. Not to mention the incredible disappointment and heartbreak that this modern-day version of Jackie Smith has brought to Cowboy fans. Tony Romo will never win a playoff game in Dallas and the franchise needs to move on.

With Phillips and Romo, this team is stuck in the worst possible place - the middle of the pack. There is no hope for playoff success; yet, at the same time, there is no hope to obtain a top quarterback in the draft. As Martin Luther King said, "We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now."

Changes at both quarterback and head coach have to be made… and the time to make them is now.

Tony Romo's late-arriving career compared to that of Roger Staubauch.

While Tom Landry turns over in his grave, Tex will paraphrase Lloyd Bensten... “Senator, I served with Roger Staubach. I knew Roger Staubach. Roger Staubach was a friend of mine. Senator, Tony Romo is no Roger Staubach.”

Shall we start with the late arriving career? One serving his country in his 20's while the other chased the Tila Tequilla's of this world. Or their undergraduate pedigree's... a Heisman Trophy winner at Navy vs. an undrafted free agent from Eastern Illinois. What about their physical attributes? Roger the Dodger, one of the great athletes ever to play the position or a Jared Lorenzen, buffet-chasing, bottom heavy signal caller? Maybe their play in the clutch draws comparrison... the Super Bowl MVP, Captain Comeback to Mr. Seattle Slip, Cancungate, Philadelphia Phold, a quarterback who, in limited time, is already responsible for some of the worst chokes in franchise history.

Most insulting is dragging Staubach character's to the depths of the juevenile Tony Romo. From service and sports, to business and  community, Roger is the definition of winning with class. Meanwhile, Mr. Simpson has yet to win a playoff game.

Are the Cowboys listening to Tex again? After calling for Brian Stewart's firing in the Nard, before the season began, the Cowboys listened, albeit three months too late, canning the most unqualified "coordinator" in the NFL. Now after a year of calling the best quarterback never to win a playoff game, "pear shaped", the franchise has reportedly described their slippery-fingered signal caller as "bottom heavy". Goes to show the power of Blogging The Boys. To top it off, Dallas used a premium draft pick on the quarterback of the future, per Tex, and have a contingency plan for the most important position in sports. Now, if the franchise could only swap the roles of Garrett and Phillips and put a restraining order on the Simpsons.

In game 1 of the NBA Finals, Kobe Bryant snarled with such ferocity that his Laker team mates got in line, and the opponent went cowering away. That image of leadership and tenacity left Tex contemplating one question... who has "the snarl" on this Dallas Cowboys team?

Who has the leadership to tell Patrick Crayton to keep his head in the game after a crucial drop? Who has the chutzpah to grab Tony Romo by the scruff the next time he wants to go vacationing in Cancun during the playoffs - letting the best quarterback never to win a playoff game know, in no uncertain terms, that this game matters. Or in the words of Bryant, "I just want it so bad...I just want it really bad."

That toughness isn't going to come from the gentle Wade Phillips. That leadership isn't going to come from the Simpsons. Quarterback and Head Coach, the two places most associated with command, (see Aikman & Johnson, Belichick & Brady, Landry & Staubach), are empty wells in Dallas.

Barber, Witten, Flozell, James? Close, but no where near a Michael Irvin. The best candidate may be Demarcus Ware, especially when armed with a new contract. Then again, he may not be that rabid dog type of personality who will impose his will on an entire team and/or franchise. The Cowboys need to find someone with that Charles Hayley snarl, or another disappointing season awaits.
