Randy Galloway of the Star-Telegram ripped Dallas Cowboys’ wideout Terrell Owens for calling ESPN reporter Ed Werder a “liar” last week when it was reported that T.O. had a problem with Tony Romo favoring Jason Witten in the passing game because the two are best buds.
You already know the story of what Werder reported last week. You already know Owens went on national TV after the Sunday night win over the Giants and called Werder a “liar.” You might or might not know Owens climbed atop the interview room podium a few minutes later and maybe a half dozen times called Werder a “liar,” and “unprofessional,” and said “he made it all up.”
That was Eldo’s story and he was sticking to it.
But on Tuesday, Werder’s employer, the mighty Bristol boys (by the way, I also draw a paycheck from those people), gave Owens free time to once again jump the butt of one of the nation’s most respected and most veteran NFL reporters, someone who has covered the Cowboys since 1989.
Maybe the suits in Bristol are smarter than I thought. Or maybe Owens is dumber than I thought. OK, nope, that last part couldn’t have been the case.Anyway, Owens trapped himself with this comment on national TV:
“I believe someone said it,” he revealed. Really, Mr. Owens.
“Someone” would be the unidentified teammate who told Werder that Owens was jealous of the Tony Romo-Jason Witten friendship, and he believed they were conspiring to keep the ball from being thrown Eldo’s way.
So after repeatedly calling Werder a “liar,” after repeatedly saying Werder “made it all up,” now this fool tells a national audience he “believes someone said it.”
Galloway goes on to say that T.O. owes Werder an apology and that other Cowboy players (including linebacker Bradie James) aren’t denying having to play peacemaker between Owens and Romo.
All of this drama and yet the Cowboys stifle the defending Super Bowl champions on Sunday night. Amazing…
