Jay Ratliff Involved In Locker Room Altercation With Reporter
Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff got involved in a verbal confrontation with ESPNDallas beat reporter Calvin Watkins on Thursday, a confrontation that had to be actively prevented from escalating from verbal to physical, according to Star-Telegram.com Cowboys beat writer Mac Engel.
On Thursday, Watkins was asking Ratliff about the news regarding former Cowboys receiver Sam Hurd's arrest for drug trafficking. The chat went south quickly; suddenly I see Marcus Spears and Martellus Bennett pushing both Ratliff and Watkins in opposite directions. Some rather unfriendly, and unprintable, words were exchanged. Something like, "You stink." "No, you stink" ... only with saltier language, at a much higher volume.
