Oh thank G-d
The show Hard Knocks, which chronicled the Dallas Cowboys training camp, showed coach Wade Phillips appearing to cry when he had to make team cuts. Wade clears up that it was just allergies (hat-tip IC):
"I wasn't crying," he said. "I was sniffling, but I wasn't crying. ... There's no crying in football."
Although, my brother the Jets fan said this when I told him about the episode: "I get emotional cutting people from my fantasy team! I can't imagine doing it in real life."

Wade's daddy, Bum, was an original, and a great coach in his own right. My fav Bum Phillips quote, and he had many, is: "There are two kinds of football players that you can't do anything with. The one who won't do what you tell him, and the one who won't do anything but what you tell him."

Jerk won't put me in the credits though (something or other about me having nothing to do with it).
