FWST Blog: Tension In The Locker Room
Loosey, Goosey Cowboys
The Cowboys are three days away from their biggest game of the season and the tension was thick in the locker room Monday that you could cut it with a knife.
How about not.
You would think Thursday’s 10-1 showdown against the Packers for homefield advantage in the NFC playoffs was just another game for the loose and fun loving Cowboys.
After being playfully slapped by nose tackle Jay Ratliff, linebacker Kevin Burnett put shaving cream in Ratliff’s shoes. Ratliff returned the favor by putting shaving cream all over Burnett’s locker, on his clothes and in his helmet.
Burnett just laughed it off, saying “I expected what he did. What I did was a surprise. I am the originator. I’m just going to wipe this helmet out and go the practice. The rest of the stuff can washed.”
Meanwhile on the otherside of the lockeroom, linebacker Akin Ayodele had his video camera out and recorded the media while he was being interviewed.
And then when the Cowboys went out to the practice field. Coach Wade Phillips walked over to the media and said: “That guy has a pretty good arm” ( in reference to his son, assistant coach Wes Phillips who was throwing passes with quarterback Tony Romo).”
“That Romo guy is pretty good too,” Phillips added with a grin.
Of course Romo got into the act at practice by doing his now infamous imitation of Packers quarterback Brett Favre pigeon-toed gait.
