I was holding up pretty well until Terrell Owens began to sob. That's when I felt my throat get tight and tears well in my eyes.
"We lost as a team, man," he said.
I turned away. I couldn't look at the pain on this man's face. Typically, T.O. wasn't crying for himself.
He's not the type to get wrapped up in individual accomplishments. At least that's what he seemed to be saying Sunday afternoon.
He was crying because he knew Dallas quarterback Tony Romo was going to be roasted for that Mexican vacation with Jessica Simpson.
"This is not about Tony," T.O. said.
I felt a chill run down my spine. I thought for a second he was giving me the Roger Clemens stare-down until I noticed a guy from the Dallas Morning News standing next to me.
"You guys can point the finger at him," T.O. said. "You can talk about the vacation, and if you do that, it's really unfair. That's my teammate. That's my quarterback."
T.O. went on to say he never had a problem with a quarterback, and a columnist from Philadelphia quickly got on the phone to his editor and announced he had breaking news.
Jeff Garcia and Donovan McNabb will choke on their waffles this morning when they read this. Then again, a lot of strange stuff happened as the Cowboys extended their playoff victory drought to 11 years.
