Source: T.O., Witten had to be separated

While the Dallas Cowboys were trying to downplay a possible rift between Terrell Owens and Jason Witten, the two nearly came to blows on Friday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram first reported Saturday.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen, according to team sources, confirmed an incident occurred at the Cowboys training facility when Witten tried to engage Owens in a conversation about a pass route. Owens told Witten to stay away from him and called him a name. The two exchanged words before being separated.

Both players acted as if everything was fine when the media was allowed in the locker room, according to the Star-Telegram. But Owens was still upset.

The confrontation came a day after a source told ESPN that Owens believes Romo and Witten -- close friends and road roommates -- hold private meetings and create plays without including Owens.

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips held a team meeting on Friday to clear the air about the report. Afterward, he said any personality conflicts had been resolved.

"Everything is set straight as far as I'm concerned," he told The Associated Press. "I think the players, too. We'll see."

The Cowboys play host to the NFC East leading New York Giants on Sunday night.

Looks like Werder's reports were right.

Best thing I can hope for now since the reports were true is that this is a blessing in disguise and somehow works in Dallas' favor.

I wish Witten would have whipped his ass.

Witten would take him easy
T.O is nothing put trouble

I don't want it to be a debate and I like Witten, but TO would beat his ass. Dude is a freak of nature and thats all I'm gonna say about this dual.

T.O is all talk and show

Absurd statement. I don't particularly like him, but he is a freak and is one of the most gifted WRs ever. The end. I've stood about ten feet from the dude, and I have never seen a human built like he is. He would flat out whip Witten, who I love. No contest.

Agree with R13. The Boys need to get it together quick. I don't see them making the playoffs if they lose tomorrow, but that being said I think they win by ten.
