Tried our best to ignore the Cowboys since the loss to the Steelers. Passed on Jerry Jones taking a shot at Marion Barber because, it’s beyond ludicrous to question the toughness of the hardest running back in the league. For the love of graham crackers, the guy’s been compared to Earl Campbell! We digress.

But Terrell Owens, who doesn’t even realize all his annoying antics on the sideline are probably one of the primary reasons Romo throws so many interceptions – take note of the next TO explosion, and we guarantee Romo will try to force him a pass on the next series – took a jab at ESPN talking heads Keyshawn Johnson (whom he’s feuded with all season) and Emmitt Smith, and a post seemed warranted.

“Those two need their own show – Dumb and Dumber,” said T.O., who was otherwise jolly while sporting a Cowboys-customized Santa cap and blinking red nose.

T.O. called Emmitt a hypocrite for publicly calling the Cowboys a bunch of individuals, then leaving a message on Greg Ellis’ cell phone to pass onto the team. (T.O. wouldn’t say what the message was.) T.O. also pointed out that Emmitt doesn’t even know the name of the rookie running back who starred against the Steelers, since No. 22 apparently referred to Tashard Choice as Rashard.

As for Keyshawn, T.O. pointed out for the 1,348th time that the Cowboys gave Keyshawn a pink slip so they could sign him.

“Obviously, this guy is still really jealous of me,” T.O. said, “because I’m here and this guy is in the booth talking about me and the Cowboys.”

Clownish antics aside … really not much to argue with here. But in defense of Emmitt, we missed out on picking up Tashard Choice for our fantasy team because we kept typing in his name as “Taster’s Choice.” Honest mistake.
