I could have Peter King's job

By Ta-Nehisi Coates
I don't think I've ever seen a Cowboys team underachieve more than this year's team. The only solace I can take is in thinking we were overrated from the start:

Look I've been a Cowboys fan since I was five and saw that gorgeous blue star on the silver helmet. But seriously, we commit too many penalties under Wade Phillips, and tend to come up big in the small games, and small in the big games. Love the players. The team, not so much.
I've got some difficult emotions to grapple with--I can't believe Jerry is keeping Wade. Still, not as many emotions as this guy. 0-16 is a special thing. I almost would trade places with the Lions. At least they have our draft picks to comfort them. Thanks Roy Williams
