According to the Dallas Morning News, Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett released an apology for his recent expletive-filled rant via You Tube, whereby he claims the media is to blame for blowing the situation completely out of proportion.

Our View: Bennett may get the chance to showcase his off-the-field talents on cable television when cameras begin rolling for teammate Terrell Owens' new reality show. The first installment of "Marty TV," wherein Bennett likens his financial assets to that of owner Jerry Jones, has been reportedly pulled from You Tube. Looks like the Cowboys are none too happy with the second-year tight end's offseason regimen.

Martellus Bennett has been fined $22,000 for his derogatory YouTube video, according to the Dallas Morning News. Bennett said, "I should not cuss that much. I have been listening to [rapper] Too Short too much."

Our View: This incident should blow over by training camp, and Bennett should serve as Jason Witten's primary backup in 2009.
