Raise your hand if you didn't see this coming. I'm not seeing many hands raised. Ed Werder, resident Cowboy's expert at ESPN, has a rather incredible article on Thursday talking about a potential conflict that is on the verge of consuming us all. I hope you're ready for it. I'm already going to the store to stock up on bread and toilet paper.

Apparently, Terrell Owens, always with a sunny disposition and rosy outlook on life, is growing jealous of the relationship and friendship that is shared by Dallas quarterback Tony Romo, and tight end Jason Witten.

Seriously.

I have to assume this is true, simply because it's so crazy that you couldn't possibly make it up. Plus, it sounds like vintage Owens behavior. Linebacker Bradie James is quoted in Werder's piece as saying he "plays peacemaker" between Owens and Romo, while a second, unnamed player takes it a couple of steps further, comparing this situation to the apocalyptic -- in a football sense -- situations that Owens created in San Francisco and Philadelphia. And we all know how that ended.

In yesterday's DMN Cowboys Blog, Tim MacMahon directed us to some comments from May, 2008, where owner Jerry Jones admitted to being intrigued by the possibility of "Adam" Pacman Jones occasionally playing wide receiver.

As a general rule, it's prudent to ignore roughly half of what Jones says, but in this instance, there could be a better than 50 percent chance "Adam" actually lines up at wideout against the Browns on Sunday. Wide receivers coach Ray Sherman is all for it, and Wade Phillips hasn't ruled it out, although he admits that it probably makes sense to get Jones up to speed defensively before giving him more responsibility.

Fair enough ... so how about Sunday?

"It's a little early and we don't want to give out any secrets," Phillips said with a smirk, "so I'd say right now we don't expect him to play much receiver."

Which means that the Cowboys are perfectly happy with Terrell Owens, Patrick Crayton, Jason Witten and Felix Jones as the team's primary pass catchers. Pretty impressive group, actually.

Almost as impressive as Jones' get-up unveiled at the Cowboys Kickoff Luncheon. And by "almost" I mean "not even close." Obviously.
