A “Joke” from One Cowboy to Another
Is there trouble within the Cowboys ranks?
Well, some reporters think so. After a careless, “joking” remark that another Dallas Cowboys star, Terrell Owens said, about how quarterback, Tony Romo’s celebrity girlfriend, Jessica Simpson was “taking Tony’s focus away”, and that she “was not a favorite in the Cowboys’ locker or at the Texas stadium” where she watched her boyfriend’s team lose to the Eagles, some reporters feel that this may cause not a little amount of strife between the two.
After making that remark, T.O., as Terrell is so fondly nicknamed, hurriedly clarified that he was just “joking around.”
“I was joking around and trying to have a little fun. And some guys take something I say and make a little something more out of it,” he said after being cornered in an interview.
“Everybody here was laughing, and you know, and just trying to have fun with it. At this point of time, I’m not gonna dwell on it,” T.O. said when asked for a comment about his anti-Jessica comment, adding that “Everybody kinda wanted her to be a distraction… but she (Jessica) did what she came to do as far as to being there…and other than that she doesn’t running around, she doesn’t throw any balls, she doesn’t kick any balls.” He also said that they lost the game, stressing that it was their responsibility, and should not be given to any of their player’s girlfriends.
Well at any rate, T.O. has definitely learned his lesson.
“I guess I should’ve been careful of what I had to say, but now they’re just trying to create some type of dissention between the locker room and maybe between Tony and I, but I don’t think that’s going to happen,” he reveals. “I was just joking around…and the next thing I know I’m driving home and I hear a lot of people telling me to be aware of what I say to the media,” he adds.
“I talked to Tony and I hope that there are no hard feelings,” T.O. spells out, and just advises everyone to “move on” with their lives.
