Ft. Worth Star: Because it was not a big deal at all, Cowboys
HC Phillips held a team meeting Friday morning to discuss the
latest chapters in a season that has had far more subplots and
distractions than wins. In the meeting, Phillips, Terrell Owens,
Keith Davis, Bradie James and Marcus Spears spoke. The point of
the meeting was to not pay attention to the multitude of
controversial stories coming out of the team's own locker room,
and when the media does ask about it, to say nothing but instead
talk about the defending Super Bowl champion Giants."It's a dead
issue," WR Patrick Crayton said. It might be, but it didn't come
without a near altercation Friday between Owens and TE Jason Witten in the Cowboys' locker room. According to 2 sources, the
two exchanged words before being separated. Both players acted as
if everything was fine when the media was allowed in the locker
room. But Owens was still clearly miffed. Which is why it's not a
dead issue and won't be unless the Cowboys can pull together and
not only beat the Giants but make a playoff run.
