Cowboys LB Bradie James Says "America's Team Culture" Needs To Change

Discussion in 'Dallas Cowboys' started by BigBlueBruiser, Aug 24, 2011.

  1. Bradie James is entering his ninth season with the Dallas Cowboys, which means he's accustomed to preseason predictions of a return to glory for America's Team. For nearly a decade, the linebacker has had an up close and personal view of the hype machine in action. No matter how the previous season turns out, many experts point to the Cowboys as a Super Bowl contender the following year. James has heard this buzz before, but he believes Dallas has culture issues within the organization that keeps it from success. “I think the entitlement kills us,†James told Foxsports.com in a story posted Monday. “Our alumni, our former greats have made us America’s Team and we reap benefits that we haven’t earned -- all the way around, as individuals, as a team. Those guys earned it. We just think we deserve it.†James, 30, acknowledged when he came out of Louisiana State University he thought he'd have "at least two" Super Bowl rings to his name by now. Instead, he patiently waits. “I’ve been on three of the most talented teams I have ever played on and hadn’t gotten it,†James said. “You are asking why and what is missing. What I am telling you is we will find out when we go earn ours.â€

    About time someone addresses that crap. I mean it's nothing the football world didn't already know, excluding 99.98% of Cowboys fans.
     
  5. It's been quite sometime since they had a head coach that gets it.......

    2008 was the worst example of entitlemnt. That team was so loaded but just expected teams to lie down for them. Was disgusting to watch

    I love how realistic Cowboy fans are in here. It's a breath of fresh air from what I'm accustomed to. I'm used to those delusional fans who honestly think it's their God-given right to win ALL THE TIME. I must say that I respect what Jason Garrett is doing. I just hope it doesn't translate into W's lol.

    Bradie James is a man. I love this guy, both for his off the field attitude and on the field play.
