I just found out about a really interesting (and really pathetic) story regarding the Dallas Cowboys this past season. It turns out that the team, according to a story in the Dallas Morning News (Read The Story Here), was an undisciplined mess. Some of the low lights of the story: Under Bill Parcells, fines for being late to meetings was $5,000 and as much as $12,000 for missing an injury treatment session. Under Wade Phillips the fines are $100. That's right ... one hundred dollars. Not surprisingly, there was reportedly a ton of lateness with players, including five flights to away games that left after their scheduled departure times because of players not showing up on time. Remember, there's just eight away games in a season. There's a bunch of stuff on Tony Romo, the coaching staff and, of course, Terrell Owens. It's an interesting read.(AP photo, above, former Cowboy Adam "Pacman" Jones.)
