Still Wade-ing for a Super Bowl Ring

October 29, 2009

On October 28, 2009 Jean-Jacques Taylor wrote an editorial in the Dallas Morning News about the Cowboys enjoying “Victory Monday.”  In celebration of back-to-back wins, coach Wade Phillips gave his team the day off.  It’s a nice gesture, but Taylor argues that it sends the wrong message to a young and inconsistent team that, in recent years, has not lived up to its potential.  Since joining the Cowboys, Phillips has preferred to be liked by his team and sets low standards instead of pushing the players beyond their limits.  This is evident by the team’s record of 14 – 12 in their last 26 games.  In conclusion, Taylor questions if the team is mature enough to appreciate “Victory Monday” and writes “This is the time to grind a little – not relax.” 


The Cowboys held a “Victory Monday” celebration
An infrequent day off for rest and relaxation
They’re showing their potential
With wins that are sequential
Stay tough guys, or at playoff time you’ll be on vacation!
