End of an Era

Oh Wade. There's isn't much else to say; the fans have finally gotten what they've been screaming for basically since he came on board.

Wade Phillips' first year with the Cowboys was also my first year interning with them. T.O. joined the sqaud, it was Romo's first year as the starting QB and Wade had replaced Bill Parcells in an attempt to bring a more dynamic look to the Cowboys' defense. All seemed well and good. The Cowboys went 13-3 that year, but failed to make it to the Super Bowl as expected (also ruining my potential book idea, rude).

Fast forward three years: T.O. was run out of town, Romo was run into the ground and Wade is hiding somewhere eating a wedding cake, or three. (According to The Ticket at least.)

So, I feel like I should say a formal goodbye to Wade, his incessant mumbling and wish him the very best as he returns to the simple life of huntin', fishin' and settin'.

Adios, Wade

And good luck Jason Garrett, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes right now!
