It was all a joke. After a media firestorm was created with his comments about Tony Romo's girlfriend, Jessica Simpson, being a distraction, Terrell Owens said he was joking and that he's sorry. Owens, speaking before the Mavericks-Suns game at the American Airlines Center on Wednesday night, said he apologized to Romo for all the confusion and added that he wants to speak to Simpson as well. Before Cowboys practice on Wednesday afternoon, Owens said Simpson was a problem for Romo. "Right now, Jessica Simpson is not a fan favorite in this locker room or in Texas Stadium," Owens said.

I wish I could apologize to her! TO's big mouth getting him the spotlight yet once again. That's all this is, TO needing to get into the limelight now that Romo has taken over the team.

Being from Detroit and a lions fan, I wish I had the problems you had, T.O, Jessica and Romo!!!

My,my, is it T.O. bash time again already? Twice in one week, how lucky can we be? Come on folk's the piece above began with....."It was all a joke"! Though I doubt that will do anything to stop the 30 pages I'm sure T.O.'s name generate before we're done here! My bet is that Three and belli show up by page 5, any takers?

I'm not a T.O. fan... at all. In fact, I don't like him. But, why do we keep taking him so seriously when he makes a comment. The guy was joking and he should not have to apologize to America everytime he makes a joke or states his opinion. Relax media and uptight fans.

If Jessica is Romo's only problem, I'd say he's in pretty good shape. T.O is just jealous.

December 20, 2007  07:29 AM ET

T.O is always in the spotligt and he needs to think before he talks

December 20, 2007  07:42 AM ET

****.

It was a joke, why does he have to think about what he is saying? Last time I checked this country gave freedom of speech (which is what everyone on this board is using right now). I think some people will never have anything good to say about him regardless . . . . . .That being said, stop dropping so many balls man! How are you an elite receiver and you drop like 2 passes a game every game!

What a Playa hater........

December 20, 2007  08:20 AM ET

Just shut up and play.

December 20, 2007  08:25 AM ET

T.O. is a used rubber....throw him away!

December 20, 2007  08:25 AM ET

If anybody knows about "distractions".......its TO. He's the sole biggest distraction any team could imagine. Its always, "me, me, me" with that guy! Were it not for the fact that he can actually catch the ball (when he wants too) no team would want that idiot!

December 20, 2007  08:32 AM ET

T.O. I Never doubted you.
If someone else is getting all the cameras, I know you will resolve that problem. Who cares about the team, get your "attention fix" and they you can go back an "apologize".

December 20, 2007  08:38 AM ET

Pimpy. Im never giving you beer again.....:-)

this thread oughta be good for 1000 posts.. too bad I'll have to catch up on what Three! thinks later.. cuz his opinion is the only one that matters right?

Don't forget your nominees for this weeks Durrell !
have a nice day all.

December 20, 2007  08:39 AM ET

She better not be there when they may play the Pack again..............

December 20, 2007  08:39 AM ET

Ferrell.. they did a survey on that in TX
most of the state thinks Jess was the problem

December 20, 2007  08:40 AM ET

No, not really heh

HItman, freedom of speech does not protect people from the reprecussions of stupidly used freedom of speech.

T.O. should know better than to open his mouth like that to a media that is looking for the "any time now" moment. Then again, what DOES that say about T.O.? Is he dumb? Or does he seek the attention he gets?

December 20, 2007  08:48 AM ET

Face it guys TO is a TO-MO.....he is sexually attracted to himself.

Owens just cant keep running his mouth. Why doesn't he just use some of his considerable paycheck to rent out an auditorium and pay people to listen to his drivel. He doesn't get it that this is lessening his stature as a player. He should just shut up.
