Owens says Stephen, not Jerry Jones, fired him

According to this story in the Toronto Globe and Mail, Terrell Owens believes Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reneged on a personal commitment to keep him on contract, and suggested that the owner's son, Stephen Jones, the executive vice-president of the NFL team, was behind his release this month.

"I know whole-heartedly he [Jerry Jones] wanted me there," Owens is quoted as saying. "There were some people I know who got in his ear that pressured him to make that decision. For that, it's sad. You let two or three people conspire to get me out of the situation."
