Around the NFL...Week 7 Style

[calia]

Did anyone else see this? (My apologies if it is elsewhere here.) But seriously, WTF? (Reported by Dan Graziano.) Shouldn't Joe be encouraging the Panthers to go crush the Cowboys? Isn't a cardinal rule that our favorite team is whoever is playing Dallas?

This was an odd one: Former Redskins coach Joe Gibbs gave the Cowboys their Saturday night pep talk at the team hotel in Carolina. I think what's weird about it is that the speech seemed designed to help the Cowboys feel better about screwing up the clock management at the end of the previous week's game in Baltimore, which means it seemed aimed at coach Jason Garrett, which means I wonder why all of the players had to hear it. But Jerry Jones is an odd cat. Also interesting in this anecdote is that Jones seems to indicate that Gibbs was the one who gave him the idea that the head coach should be one of the coordinators.
