T.O. calls himself 'scapegoat'

From Tim McMahon of the Dallas Morning News: 

APT.O. still can't avoid the drama with the Cowboys and Tony Romo.

T.O. says he still isn't exactly sure why the Cowboys released him, although he has his theories and is sticking with them.

He's heard about Stephen Jones' suggestion that Tony Romo wouldn't be able to emerge as a leader with T.O. on the roster.

"He was the quarterback of the team," T.O. said during his camp for kids today at Duncanville High School. "I think everybody realized that. It was upon him to adopt that leadership role and carry that out. Obviously, they saw that didn't happen.

"So, for whatever reason, I'll be the scapegoat. I'm not here. Now, it's his team. You know, and I wish him well."

T.O., who famously cried while defending Romo after the top-seeded Cowboys' playoff loss to the Giants two years ago, claimed to be confused when asked how the relationship between the quarterback and receiver changed last season.

"Your guess is as good as mine," T.O. said. "I don't know what happened. Obviously, somebody is lying somewhere. I don't know what happened. All I know is that I'm not here. I'm with the Buffalo Bills, and I'll leave it at that."
