Remembering Wade Phillips: Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered (Satire)

Stan SillimanNov 10, 2010

Wade Phillips has been fired, but how will he be remembered?

As a defensive genius? Years ago, yes. But maybe not now after dealing with the porosity of the Blue Crew.

As a good guy who worried about his players? Perhaps.

As someone who was dealt a bad hand, beholden to an unskilled general manager and forced to maneuver with questionable draft picks? We think so.

As someone with more deer-in-the-headlights pictures than any coach imaginable? YES!

Yes, Wade is now synonymous with "bumfuzzled." Sorry about his dad's nickname being mixed in there, but it fits. Flustered. What's going on and WTF expressions grew out of Wade Phillips like the branches on a birch tree.

We'll show a few and create some lyrics where you can sing along:

Bewitched

REMEMBERING WADE PHILLIPS: BEWITCHED, BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED

After a seasonโ€ฆ without reason

And a whirlwind of mishaps

This winterโ€ฆ Iโ€™ll be freezinโ€™

Without a job, perhaps

To be fired by Jerry Jones

Olโ€™ Stiff Face came and told me

Gather up and turn inโ€ฆ all my cell phones

Which had wide area callingโ€ฆ for free!

Bothered

REMEMBERING WADE PHILLIPS: BEWITCHED, BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED

REFRAIN:

Iโ€™m fired again

Retired again

No clipboard, no headphones, un-wired again

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

Iโ€™m losing sleep

Am I a creep?

Did I screw up royally, should I weep?

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

Bewildered

Iโ€™m a football son

My dad is Bum

Discussing defenses โ€˜til morning sun

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

I saw the game

I watched the game

Mistakes we would make would be always the same

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

No more Romo

Even on slo-mo

I was stuck with a Kitnaโ€ฆ extremely old

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

My line was bust

They creaked like rust

Colombo and Gurodeโ€ฆ I couldnโ€™t trust

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

Bothered Again

Roy dropped the ball

Throughout the fall

Fumbles and dropsies, we had it all

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

My defense stunk

We played like junk

We couldnโ€™t tackle a dummyโ€ฆ if he were drunk

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

Again?

Looking flustered

Pass the mustard

Iโ€™m a state fair corn dog dipped in custard

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

Bewitched, check my face

Bothered, as in disgrace

Bewildered, like in outer space

Am I!!!!

The Reason For The Whole Refrain
