Newman: 'Coward' tearing Cowboys apart

Deep fissures remain amongst Dallas' biggest names, personalities, and players with Wade Phillips basically intimating that he had to have a come-to-Jesus intervention with Jason Witten, T.O. and Tony Romo before Philly. Cowboys cornerback Terence Newman encapsulated all of this angst, somewhat unintentionally Monday, when talking about lack of accountability in this locker room. "It is like the problem when you had the anonymous player saying all that stuff," he said. "They are a coward, you know, and that kind of stuff ruined this season." Let that sink in: A bigtime Cowboy called another bigtime Cowboy, and Witten specifically -- if locker room rumblings about the identity of "the snitch" are to be believed -- a coward.

The come-to-Jesus intervention was clearly unsuccessful...perhaps it is time to gravitate toward other religious figures. David Koresh is a little closer to home, and his post-mortem magic is real.

What the hell? CNNSI needs to get a better online editor. I can't even read what this article is about.

Whatever it takes keep it up whoever you are.
Teary eyed owner/coach/players from that soap opera trying to explain why they cannot win every year in DEC./JAN. is priceless!

Was this written by a three year old? I had to use my NSA skills to decipher this :)

You're al a bunch of cowards Boys. To come and think about it, you kind of remind me of Congress...no accountability but a whole lot of talking...

****?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I got a headache trying to read that!

The Divas are at again ... if their smart they'd take a page out of the Giants playbook and sacrifice talent for accountability. The Giants have become the best team in football the last two years with the subtraction of talented diva's like Tiki Barber and Jeremy Shockey. The Cowboy's ineptitude is a direct result of having Stars who don't take responsibility for their failures ( Romo that's you ) , who only care about winning if they're putting up their #'s ( Owens and Witten that's you ) and an owner who repeatedly undermines his head coaches authorty in an attempt to make himself bigger than the team ( Jerry Jones that would be you ) ...its obvious why they haven't won anything since Jimmy Jones left ( not that the off the fied antics were any different.)

Barry Switzer won with Jimmy Johnson's players so he doesn't really count in my book ... kinda like John Gruden winning with Tony Dungy's Buc's ( although Jimmy won 2 chips with basically the same roster he built himself ) but if you wanna nitpick Barry Switzer*

They said that ???? (I think he is a center) was talking about ????? (the reserve middle linebacker who incidentally is on IR due to fx of his femur that was found on a CT) was ripping the locker room apart. ?? is the agent for ???? who wants his guy to have more money.

I mean hello.......learn to read.

From what I can gather, Jesus called Witten a snitch...and Terrence Newman enjoys the rap stylings of the Big Tymers.

Dude Jesus plays for the Saints.

I sure hope my comments with punctuation and( ) don't read like this. My eyes hurt.I try to use complete sentences at least. Time to change the writing style.
