Tony Romo: Terrell Owens Is a Great Player Who's Hard to Replace
Terrell Owens said last week the Dallas Cowboys got rid of him to make him a scapegoat for Tony Romo's failure to become a leader. But when Romo was asked this week to respond to Owens' comments, he declined to get into a war of words with his highly volatile ex-teammate.
Instead, Romo took the high road, praising Owens' abilities and saying the Cowboys will miss him on the field.
"He's a great player, and I think it's going to be hard to replace a player of his ability and his talent," Romo told ESPN's Ed Werder. "That's not easy to do with a guy that talented."
Romo also suggested that the media may have been misrepresenting Owens' criticism of Romo.
"I didn't see it, so once again I don't know," Romo said. "I know that sometimes you guys misrepresent what he says."
On that score, I think Romo is wrong. I don't think the media needs to misrepresent what Owens says because I think Owens gives the media more than enough material to work with. But when asked to reply, Romo was smart not to escalate the situation by following Owens' lead.
