JASON WITTEN

[Dave James]

If you're a sports fan, I'm sure you're aware that former all-pro Jason Witten has decided to return to the Dallas Cowboys.  Thus ends ESPN's abortive attempt to replicate Tony Romo's success with CBS.  I didn't pay much attention to Witten, but I came across this description of his struggles that I found amusing:

Witten's calling card became a series of malapropisms including “He pulled a rabbit out of his head” and “They kicked themselves in the foot.”  Witten responded to the criticism in by saying, “I’m committed to the long game approach.”

Witten was a player, the real deal. Always there.

No idea if he still will be, but the Cowboys need him, or somebody like him.

Not that I give a shit, I was quite happy this past season with loving the team, hating Jerry, and seeing them have just enough success to not have to seek to resolve that.

I never heard him - no interest in football these days - but, from what you posted, he sounds like a dumb version of Don Meredith.

Dumb? Like low IQ? You have data to support this?

For the money they are paying him, I doubt he’ll be much more than a player/coach that sees limited snaps on crucial third downs, and goaline situations. My guess is they are grooming him to be a coordinator/coach.

I meant dumb like someone who's possibly trying to be funny, but ain't succeeding - just judging from the quotes that Dave James provided.
You seem protective of him. Is he a relative of yours?

I AM Jason Witten.

I was going to write, all Texans are brothers, but I know there are at least a few that you disassociate yourself from.

And I should have written that, based on Dave James' quotes, he comes off as a poor version of Don Meredith.

To be honest, this is the first I've heard of his malapropisms. All I can tell you is that he was a damn good tight end. Past that, nothing.

[T.D.]

Can't comment on Witten's announcing (never heard it), but definitely a damn good TE. At age 36 and with a history of injuries (iirc), I'm not optimistic about his future on-field success. But also to Witten's credit, he's played through a number of injuries that would have sidelined many; several of his exploits in that regard amazed me.
