With the recent emergence of Dallas Cowboys’ receiver Miles Austin, I expected many, like myself, to be pleasantly surprised and certainly happy.

I also expected other teams, notably those of the NFC East, to loathe that the Cowboys had found themselves a go-to, play-making receiver, this time without the attitude problem.

However, I overlooked and did not expect the part where another Cowboys wide receiver lashes out to the media with discontent and jealousy of the blossoming star.

Sound familiar? It should, because it is exactly what team owner Jerry Jones tried to rid his team of with the release of Terrell Owens this summer. And now, only eight weeks into a TO-less season, Roy Williams is stepping up to fill TO’s former role.

While being the No. 1 receiver on the Cowboys depth chart, former-Detroit Lion Williams has sure not played like it and has left plenty of room for somebody to step up. Luckily for the team and fans somebody (Austin) did, which somehow led Williams to lash out to the media.

“It’s just not even close,” Williams said to ESPNDallas.com. “It’s not even funny. Not even close ... I’m the No. 1 receiver. But things are going No. 2’s way. He gets the ball thrown correctly his way.”

Frankly, this is getting old for the team and fans and there are so many things wrong with this picture .

Last time I checked, Williams plays for the Dallas Cowboys; the Cowboys do not play for Williams. Also, the Cowboys received their only two losses with Williams as the No. 1 wideout. Turn and face the strange (ch-ch-) changes, buddy.

So maybe, Roy, you are just confused. Or delusional.

Wait, I get it. Maybe you are frustrated because Austin put up 482 yards and five touchdowns on 21 receptions in three games, whereas you only have 249, two and 14 on the season.

I can understand how you would be embarrassed that he dominates you in every category, but don’t go balling to the media with your superiority complex, unless you really want to lose your job like TO did. And what happened to playing for the betterment of the team?

Wouldn’t the proper response be to congratulate Austin and give him a pat on the back along with your job? That’s how it has been on any team I have been a part of.

Williams later continued with the cry baby antic and between repressed tears and many used tissues, Williams hit on his frustration with the passes that are coming his way and complaining about having to dive and fall to get to balls.

“Everybody [else] who’s been here’s balls are there,” he said. “Our footballs [from Romo to Williams] are everywhere right now.”

Perhaps the most frustrating part of this whole ordeal is that it isn’t like this is a new problem.

Williams has been lack-luster at best since he got to Dallas. I would have a little more patience with the guy had he once been a great player for the Cowboys, but having not even been on the team for an entire season yet and playing like the team’s fourth receiver instead of the first, I don’t have much room for that patience that I would give other players.

Strangely enough, I think Williams does correctly identify the problem in the matter; himself.

It seems to me that if Romo is on-par with all of the other receivers on the team, then the fault of the Romo-Williams dysfunction would lie on Williams’ shoulder.

Jones explained this past summer that the addition of Williams and release of TO was to form a more “Romo-friendly” offense.

So much for that.
