Quote : | "Fined Armstrong says he has leg Cowboys need, but they can't use it
DALLAS - Everybody was having a good laugh at Darrell Armstrong's expense on Monday. Even Darrell Armstrong.
The backup point guard had poked a little fun at the Cowboys and Dallas fans on Sunday night when, after Washington had trounced the Cowboys, 35-7, Armstrong addressed the crowd at American Airlines Center with a Christmas wish and finished by saying, "And how about those Redskins?"
A smattering of boos was mixed with laughter as most people took the diehard Redskins fan's comments with a grain of salt.
On Monday, teammates were often yelling, "How about those Redskins?" at Armstrong during and after practice.
But Armstrong said he has no hard feelings for getting fined $1,000 by the club for his comment. "I know Bill Parcells is madder at his players than the fans are mad at me," Armstrong said. "The looks he was giving his players - if looks could kill, I declare he would have killed a couple people yesterday."
Armstrong also said he was willing to help the Cowboys.
"I don't know what's wrong with your punters and kickers around here," he said. "I'm the best kicker in Dallas. If Bill Parcells is looking for a field-goal kicker, tell him to come on down the way." Armstrong, who was a kicker at Division II Fayetteville State, lists former Redskins kicker Mark Moseley as his favorite football player. After volunteering to kick for Parcells, Armstrong recanted. "That's in my will," he said. "I can't play for them. I'm sorry."" |

As a Cowboys fan, I even thought it was funny. And I would LOVE to have him for their kicker. With a DECENT kicker, the 'Boys are 10-4. 12/20/2005 1:44:44 PM |
