Jerry Jones doesn't want to talk about hot topics

by Rick Herrin

Yeah, shocking isn't it. We caught up with Jerry Jones at his hotel in downtown Mobile, Ala. Monday night and before a question was asked he told us what he would not be talking about this week.

No questions about Terrell Owens, Jason Garrett or Wade Phillips' coaching staff.

Pretty surprising considering Jerry is regularly willing to talk about all aspects about his team. And it would have been his chance to say he is not cutting Owens, if that's the case. The only questions Jerry's willing to answer is about the draft and the Senior Bowl. But does silence say everything in this case?

It's almost like members of the Cowboys organization have made oath not to talk right now. Garrett talked a little to a few reporters while watching practice, but when the topic of T.O. came up he had little to say and ended the interview.

Then I found Phillips and he didn't want to talk. He didn't even want to answer a simple question of whether or not he would fill the vacant defensive coordinator position. What is going on here?
