T.O. Feels Scapegoated For Romo’s Leadership Woes

Terrell Owens and the Cowboys are seemingly on a mission to continue discussing their divorce. And we are on a mission to continue reporting it, because there isn’t much going on in the NFL right now. On Thursday, Owens took his turn addressing the issue. (Maybe he’s trying to distract us from the video where he didn’t talk.) "[Romo] was the quarterback of the team. I think everybody realized that. That was a concept to adopt that leadership role and carry that out. Obviously, they saw that didn’t happen. So, for whatever reason, I’ll be the scapegoat. I’m not here. Now, it’s his team. You know, and I wish him well.” The statement is classic Owens. He wishes Romo well, makes himself the victim, and subtly questions whether Romo was an effective leader for the team. Speaking at his youth football camp in the Dallas area, Owens still seems confused about where his relationship with Romo went wrong. “I don’t know what happened,” Owens said. “Obviously, somebody is lying somewhere. I don’t know what happened. All I know is that I’m not here.”
