local athlete and businessman in major trouble

Not sure if it's true or not.

But it can happen. I think every one has heard the rumor.

Cowboys TE and businessman in Betsy TN.

If true no one has no real excuse. If not some better be glad.

My mom's first cousin was the other guy that was involved in the boating accident, has about 100 stitches down the side of his face. Real tragedy what happened. When the cops asked the guy who was driving the boat what happened to his boat, he told them he hit a log about a week ago. Its unbelievable that he kills a guy and then comes up with a bogus story like that..

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, the subject of rumors concerning a fatal boating accident, along with a local businessman.
Witten told us unequivacably that neither were on a boat Sunday morning and had no involvement in the accident, and he wants his name cleared.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Witten are issuing a statement, calling the rumor a hoax that has gotten out of hand.

I had heard this earlier as well. I hope that it is not true though.

Whoever started this rumor is a scumbag. I hope Jason Witten sues the heck out of him.One guy on the Tennessee boards that is from the Tri City area said that the person that started this rumor may have been a car dealer.
