DALLAS COWBOYS 2008 MELTDOWN - TIMELINE
1. After their first loss, to the Washington Redskins in week 4, Terrell Owens complains he didn't get the ball enough even though he was involved with a third of the team's offensive plays. A few weeks later the Cowboys trade a boatload of draft picks to Detroit for wide receiver Roy Williams. If TO is upset about it, he keeps his mouth shut in public, although he does snub ESPN nerd Ed Werder in a story laughed at on Deadspin.
2. Adam "Pacman" Jones attacks his team-mandated bodyguard in a Dallas hotel. The Cowboys, Jerry Jones in particular, cover it up. NFL commish Roger Goodell doesnt buy it and suspends his ass indefinitely.
3. Tony Romo breaks his finger on his throwing hand in an overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He is replaced by Brad Johnson, who is so terrible he eventually gets replaced by Brooks Bollinger. 4. A 34-14 loss to the Rams features three interceptions, the season-ending injury of safety Roy Williams, a vote of confidence for head coach Wade Phillips from Jerry Jones (always a kiss of death), and a front page story about the Cowboys troubles on ESPN. 5. After their 3-0 start, a loss to the division rival New York Giants caps off a 2-4 swoon going into the bye week.
