Cowboys Fan Shows How Not to React to Your Team Choking Away a Playoff Berth

If you’re a Cowboys fan, you were likely really, really upset last night. And rightfully so -- that game against the Eagles was pretty embarrassing. But then you probably drank and/or slept it off, woke up a little depressed, made it into work on time and were pretty much over it sometime before lunch. This is because you’re a reasonable human being with a fully functioning brain which allows you to realize football is just a game and should be somewhere around the 24-28th most important thing in your life. ↵↵But not superfan Alan Lowe, who showed up at Valley Ranch today wearing a sandwich board sign. On the front, it read “The Cowboys have no heart” with “Wade Phillips is an embarrassment to the Star” on the back. ↵

↵↵Now, Lowe has every right to act a fool and spend half his day letting the Cowboys know the star is embarrassed. He also has a right not to be a complete jackass and to fully expect the reaction he received from linebacker Bradie James:↵

↵⇥↵⇥“He said, ‘Why you guys didn’t show that fire last night? You should have showed that heart last night!’” James recalled to reporters. “So next thing you know, I’m just ripping his sign off him. So I ripped the sign off him. He said I broke his glasses, so I went and gift-wrapped some Oakleys. He got something out the deal.”↵⇥

↵⇥↵⇥“I told him, ‘I share your frustrations. But where we differ is I wouldn’t go to anybody’s job, especially not with 300-pound guys, trying to tell them what they didn’t do right,’” James said. “But that’s it. It’s over.”↵⇥

↵↵Lowe ended up not pressing charges and later returned to work in time for his afternoon shift.↵
