c'mon Wade. don't ruin it. just finish your career racking up wins as a great DC and leave a legacy for yourself instead of being a joke.
Between Phillips wanting head and Jerry Jones and the glory holes....what the hell is in the water in Texas???
Maybe the glory hole days in Dallas were over when Philips left. So JJ is looking to rehire him to renew the glory hole fun.
