REPORT: T.O. TOLD WITTEN, “DON’T TALK TO ME”

The latest news in the silliness that is the 2008 Dallas Cowboys is a report that wide receiver Terrell Owens told tight end Jason Witten not to talk to him. Todd Archer of the Dallas Morning News reports, citing unnamed sources, that Witten approached Owens during Friday’s practice to talk to him about a pass route, and Owens instructed Witten not to talk to him. According to Archer, Owens’ snubbing of Witten came after coach Wade Phillips called a team meeting that, according to Phillips, “set everything straight” among the players. If it’s true that Owens told Witten not to talk to him, it wouldn’t be the first time such an incident took place with Owens. In 2005, when he played for the Eagles, Owens reportedly told then-offensive coordinator Brad Childress, “don’t talk to me unless I talk to you.”
