Chris Carter created a lot of buzz yesterday admitting that he put bounties out against defensive players. Specifically, 4 time Super Bowl champion Bill Romonowski.
Today on the Colin Cowherd show, Bill Romonowski had a chance to respond.
Romo denied the allegations of verbally threatening Chris Carter saying that he never threatened or said anything to anyone. He even went so far as to say that “maybe Chris Carter is a mind reader” because he would have had to know what he was thinking because he didn’t speak once the game started; stating “I was in the zone”.
Romo also denied ever targeting any specific player.
I don’t know about you, but knowing Romo’s temperament & reputation, I highly doubt he never talked trash during games.
With that said, I’m not so sure CC is being totally truthful as well. While its not yet online, CC joined Cowherd following the Romo interview & while he didn’t totally backtrack, his tone & language changed a bit.
Last night & several times this morning, CC claimed that Romo warned him not to go over the middle or he’d “end his career”.
Just now, CC changed the story to say that in 2001 against the Broncos, as they were going into the 1st huddle, Romo said “CC, I’m taking you out today.”
It’s not a huge difference, both are trash talk that happens in every NFL game, especially back then… But it is an interesting change by CC. If you can find the interview, he also seemed to change his tone a bit & wasn’t so brash & comfortable after Romo had called in & disputed his story.
With that said, CC had no problem calling Romo one of the “dirtiest players in the past 20 years. So maybe he was just a little nervous after being challenged or maybe there were multiple threats by Romo & CC is adding a new one to the story…
Chris Carter is a moron, and we all know the way ESPN runs their network. Ever since carter retired he’s been looking for ways to stay relevant.
BBCC Im with you all the way Chris Carter is a Idiot. Please some make him go away.
Bill Romanowski is a huge liar who will say anything to not be portrayed as he actually was on the football field, namely a member of the dirty player HOF.
So, do I believe the guy that broke his teammate’s jaw?
Here’s excerpt from a Romanowski interview in 2006:
Bill Romanowski: For me, it was just about going out there and doing my job to the best of my ability and a lot of times, what I had to do is try and get in people’s heads. I would scream in people’s faces, I would choke them, I would do what ever I could do to get that edge.
Kind of throws a monkey wrench into Romanowki’s claim that he didn’t talk during the game eh Nash?
I’ll believe Romanowki was silent when I believe that Muhammad Ali was an introvert.
Great find…. Now THAT’S the Romo I remember….
So when was it…
