This is what I get for being hopeful about the Dallas Cowboys –

multiple reporters wrote about a BUNCH of in-fighting at Wednesday’s practice.  This started it off:

On the final day of #Cowboys padded practice in Oxnard, the chippiness spilled over — Sam Williams and Brock Hoffman rep leading to full-on scrum.

Williams was upset at Hoffman on previous reps.

Then Coach read them the riot act

The most intense practice of #Cowboys camp in Oxnard has ended — two fights and a ton of intense matchups later — all coming together.

Maaannnn…this much infighting is NOT a good look.  Passionate? Or petulant?
