It wouldn’t be a normal NFL season if TO didn’t despise his quarterback for whatever reason. McNabb was a quitter. Garcia didn’t have a good arm, and Greg Knapp held him back. And now, get this: Tony Romo is holding private meetings with Jason Witten to create plays to throw to Witten even if TO is wide open.

Outlandish? Not if you know T.O.

Owens feels that Romo and Witten — close friends and road roommates who came to Dallas in the same offseason — hold private meetings in which they create plays the two will use in upcoming games without including Owens in the conversations, according to a source who speaks regularly with Owens’ teammates. Owens believes these discussions have worked to his detriment as Romo seeks to deliver the ball to Witten regardless of whether Owens is open.

Wade Phillips claims he knows nothing of this, and Jessica Simpson wasn’t available for comment. One thing’s for sure in all this: The Cowboys won’t be going to the playoffs.
