"Think somebody will write a really sh*tty rap song about this?"

By icing his own kicker in the 4th quarter on what should have been an easy game-winning field goal, Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett basically took the door off the hinges and invited parody into his life. Of course the kick that Garrett iced was good, and Dan Bailey eventually missed his second effort, leading to a game-winning touchdown by the Arizona Cardinals in overtime. Now, I would make the point that Garrett deserves ridicule for not using his powerful running game properly against a terrible defense, and others will point out that Tony Romo completely blew an opportunity to use one of the team’s two timeouts, but in the end the kick is all people will talk about.

Take Cowboy Jeff, for instance, who has quite a history of parodying embarrassing moments in Cowboys history. He decided that Garrett icing his own kicker was indeed deserving of one of his patented parody songs. This one is entitled, “Don’t Ice Ice Bailey.” Brace yourself.

Wade Phillips’s holiday calendar just got a lot more wide open. According to multiple sources on Twitter, Wade was fired today from his position as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys; a position he had held since the 2007 season. After winning the NFC East last year and being praised as favorites to repeat, the Cowboys only could win one of their first eight games, including their most recent drubbing against the Packers on national TV last night.

Jason Garrett, the Cowboys’ $3-million offensive coordinator who also interviewed for top jobs at St. Louis, , will take over head coaching duties. He has two brothers in the Cowboys organization according to Wikipedia; John is the team’s tight ends coach and Judd works in the front office.

It’s uncertain whether Cowboys owner Jerry Jones thinks he can make chicken salad out of the rest of the Cowboys season, but with two more nationally televised games on the horizon (Week 14 vs. Philly and then a Week 16 Christmas Day game at Arizona), there was enough potential for even more bad advertising for the team to require a change. I for one am just waiting for what will be, sadly, the last Wade and Jerry post on KSK. It’s funny when you don’t think of the overweight as real people.
