Why we care what Wade Phillips thinks is beyond me

Read more for Wade Phillips' thoughts on global politics
I thought it odd Monday morning when I read this headline on the front page of The Dallas Morning News' website:

Fired Cowboys coach reacts: 'It doesn't absolve everything, but it was a win'.

Hold ...

What?!?!?!?

Wade Phillips was at some inane charity bullshit and some dude named Mark Edgar had the opportunity to approach the former head coach and ask him about the Cowboys' win over the New York Giants.

Said Phillips:

"I'm so proud of the guys, and I'm talking about my coaches and all my players."
Oh, man. Thanks for that insight Phillips. And thanks for the News for digging up this very important information from the guy that drove the franchise into the ground.

Some more:

"We needed a win. It doesn't absolve everything, but it was a win. And that's what's great about football."

Again, wait a sec. It eerily sounds like Phillips thinks he's still the head coach of the Cowboys. What's this "we" crap. It doesn' absolve everything. You mean, Wade, that it doesn't erase the previous eight weeks? It doesn't pull the Cowboys up to .500 or make them eighth in the NFC? Oh no!

Read that quote. "We" needed a win. The win does not make up for the other seven losses. "But it was a win." And "that's what's great about football."

You mean, going 1-7 and winning a game and that game not making up for that 1-7 record is "what's great about football."

Wade Phillips is dumber than a bag of hammers. The Dallas Morning News isn't too far behind. And how he kept his job eight weeks into this season is beyond me.

No word on what Chan Ho Park feels about the Rangers World Series or perhaps what Quincy Carter feels about the Giants game.
