How ’bout ’dem Cowboys!
Yes, with the Eagles long gone from the playoff picture, there’s really nothing better than seeing the hated Cowboys crumble right there on our flat screens.
But yesterday Dallas haters were treated to a rare double-header. First we got to relish Tony Romo and pals going down in flames, then we witnessed the latest Terrell Owens meltdown after the game.
If you haven’t seen it, check out the video here.
As you may know, there was more than just a bit of consternation in Dallas last week because Romo decided to jet off to Cabo with his new squeeze, blonde bombshell Jessica Simpson. No one seemed to notice that tight end Jason Witten also was on the trip.
Owens, of course, made headlines (imagine that!) after the Eagles game when he said the appearance of Simpson in a box with her pink Cowboys jersey upset the team’s karma. The Cowboys lost that game.
Fans took sides, some of them going so far as to label the would-be pop star a latter-day “Yoko Romo,” intimating she was having the same effect on their beloved ‘Boys as Ono once had on the Beatles.
Then came the stunning loss Sunday against the Giants.
And the even more stunning post-game crying jag by Owens. Simpson, by the way, was not even in the stadium.
T.O. defended Romo after the game and said, in a weeping post-game press conference, that it would be unfair to dump the blame for the loss on Romo. Or Simpson for that matter.
Look, I’m a T.O. guy. I think the Eagles thoroughly botched the whole flap over his contract demands. To be honest, I still believe that for that one season, Owens might just be the best player to ever don an Eagles uniform. The Eagles have not been the same team since.
But Owens certainly does have a knack for the dramatic. This is the same guy who did sit-ups in his front yard for the small army of media who descended there after he was sent home from camp by Andy Reid.
But there’s one part of me that believes maybe T.O was speaking in code last night.
Check out the shades he was wearing to hide the tears after the game Sunday. Anyone else think they look just like the kind of sunglasses once favored by one Yoko Ono?
There you have. T.O., the latest chapter.
At least until somebody sticks a camera or microphone in his face again.
