for his radio comments about Tony Romo’s late-game collapse, but the Washington Redskins tight end added Wednesday that he really has nothing personal against the Dallas Cowboys quarterback


-- except for the fact that he plays for the Redskins’ bitter NFC East rivals. ‘It’s been actually pretty funny today,’ Cooley said in a podcast with SI.com’s Jimmy Traina. ‘I’m getting


murdered, _murdered_, by Cowboys fans, which is perfectly fine with me.’ Cooley went on to say: ‘No, there’s no personal thing with Tony Romo. I do a radio show with Chad Dukes and LaVar


Arrington every Monday and we joke around and we have some fun, and they kind of ask me questions. People really _are_ surprised when I just talk like a regular person, I guess. I mean, I’m


a fan of the game, and I’m a guy that cheers for the Redskins. Now, if you wanted me to go on a radio show and say everything politically correct and be boring, I mean, I have no problem


doing that. I obviously have the ability to do that. But we just went on and had a little bit of fun. “They said did I like watching him choke, and yeah, of course I liked watching him


choke. And the biggest [criticism] was they beat us last week. Well, obviously. But I still enjoyed that the Cowboys lost [to the Lions]. I play for the Washington Redskins. I don’t see why


anyone would think that I wouldn’t enjoy that.’ So does this mean the Cooley-Romo cage fight is off? ALSO: How far will the Detroit Lions go this year? Should Hank Williams Jr. remain the
