Let's all take a step backThe Dallas Cowboys nose tackle and the ESPN Dallas writer Calvin Watkins got into an apparent shouting match this afternoon at Valley Ranch. If you haven't heard Ty Walker on The Ticket, there were "motherfuckers" bandied about. Watkins did not back down from a man that would, no doubt, kill him with a single swing of his meaty paw.
Watkins apparently was shouting that Ratliff had been "talking a lot of shit."
The initial thought was that Watkins -- a long-time Cowboys beat reporter, who has probably a decent relationship with every Cowboy -- wrote something that Ratliff didn't enjoy, like this. I mean, Watkins plays things pretty close to the vest and doesn't editorialize much if at all.
According to Mac Engel of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the spat was brought about after Watkins started asking about Sam Hurd (more on that later). Ratliff told Watkins to "walk away" and the reporter kept pressing. Martellus Bennett, apparently rising up to make a play in between games, separated the pair.
Read Engel's article and you catch a little glimpse into what sort of animal Ratliff is. DeMarcus Ware's comments are telling. My initial reaction is to blame Ratliff for being a hothead moron that should just say "no comment."
Then again, Watkins needs to practice a little self-preservation. Chances are, Watkins is well aware of Ratliff's ability to turn it on and off. Once he saw the quotes were not going to come from Ratliff, he should have moved on or waited a day.
Live, Calvin, live!
