Terence Newman: Jokes on You, Media
Folks, settle the heck down. Terence Newman, famed cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys, was kidding when he remarked about Jon Kitna this week. Sheesh. The media really knows how to blow up a situation. As DMN reported:
“It is what it is,” Newman said after practice Friday. “[Kitna] didn’t say anything bad to me. I was trying to make a joke about it. I don’t even blitz. I blitz like four times a year. Besides, he’s bigger than me.”
So, can we move on? Newman’s reply is hilarious, though.
Here is what Newman said that drew the media buzz:
“Basically what it boils down to is you’ve got to watch what you say,” Newman said on The Afternoon Blitz with hosts Adam Schein and Solomon Wilcots. “Your mouth can’t write checks that your (butt) can’t cash. That’s what it comes down to. Everybody’s going to see those quotes. . . . Revenge will be sweet, definitely.”
His comments drew swift reaction from the powers of the NFL:
“Be advised that your comments will now compel us to carefully monitor your activities in this weekend’s game,” stated the letter from Ray Anderson, NFL executive vice president. “As you know, flagrant fouls may subject a player not only to fines but to suspension as well. So conduct yourself accordingly.”
Jokes on Terrance Newman.When you want to give somebody else a cheap shot, you don’t publicly tell the world. Next time Neman should keep his plans to himself. Now the NFL will be all over him.
