Roy Williams' shtick is wearing thin

Nightmare

I typically don't get too up in arms about the Dallas Cowboys.

I follow them. I don't root for them.

So when they sign Terrell Owens, Pacman Jones, Tank Johnson and the laundry list of other "troublemakers," I lean back and enjoy the show.

I honestly feel the negative attitudes surrounding these type of players are completely overstated considering this town's habitual suffering of fools like Roy Williams (the safety), Greg Ellis, Patrick Crayton and Roy Williams (the receiver).

It's those guys that tweak me the most. Whiners. Bitchers. What's worse is that the media and fans typically paint them as misunderstood, frustrated good guys just trying to make a living.

In fact, they are spoiled, rich children, who only want to get paid as much as possible for as long as possible.

Roy Williams (the receiver) is bugging me to no end.

The other day, he stated that his tenure with the Dallas Cowboys has been a "nightmare." He appropriately explains that it's due to his own performance. He goes out of his way to not blame the quarterback or team.

It's on him.

Except when its not. Williams may or may not throw a teammate under the bus, but he does bitch about the media ... while being interviewed by the media.

It's a complex relationship. Bitching about the people you're talking to in order to let the world know how those people are mistreating you.

Williams is a passive-aggressive kind of guy. While he'll not blame Tony Romo or the offense. He is kind of still putting some blame on them.

If not, why say anything? Why not go out on an off day and have someone throw balls at you? Why not stay after practice and run extra routes? Why go to the media and say all the things he says if he wasn't really placing blame on everyone but himself?

This works. How do I know? The leaders of this team aren't saying anything and they play well most weeks. Romo. Jason Witten. DeMarcus Ware.

Consider Miles Austin and Kevin Ogletree. Two undrafted receivers who both could have quit football and worked at Home Depot as much of a shot as they had making a team and having a career. Instead, they shut their mouths, put their heads down, worked their asses off and are two of the most-anticipated and talked-about guys on the offense.

Williams and Crayton could take a cue.
