Quote of the day.

This exchange, transcribed by Sports on My Mind, apparently occurred on NFL Network last night following Terrell Owens‘ postgame press conference. Over the past week, Owens has been in the center of controversy after a report by ESPN’s Ed Werder cited the Cowboys receiver as being in a rift with fellow teammates Jason Witten and Tony Romo.

Rich Eisen: “I worked with Ed Werder for seven years. I mean, the guy?s not a liar. He?s not just going to make stuff up out of wholecloth. He?s got a name already in this profession. He must have quoted somebody. He quoted somebody who obviously didn?t put a name to their quote, but he quoted somebody.”

Deion Sanders: “Why would you say he?s not a liar? Why would, couldn?t he be a liar? He?s over at another network fighting with two other journalists to have a name for himself in the capacity that he is in. So the most crap that they can come up with, they get their names mentioned. He?s trying to get his name mentioned. …

You know the sad thing is that I have to balance my relationships as well as being an analyst because I know a lot more than I can really say on TV at times. But then it?s my obligation to the fans to tell you what I know but balance that and not allow a relationship with many players inside that locker room to really say everything I know. So alot of what I?m saying isn?t hearsay, it?s known; it?s the truth. And it?s not just what T.O. is telling me, because I would check the facts with other receivers on the team as well as with other coaches on the team – as well as the owner of the team. So I never report hearsay – it?s fact.”
