Terrell Owens is a lightning rod for criticism and the bane of a defensive back's existence. He has a boatload of talent and is certainly not afraid to speak his mind.

The Dallas Cowboys' wide receiver proved that yet again after his 'Boys suffered a 26-24 loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

"Owens, despite having 18 passes thrown his way in the loss to Washington, had what was deemed a serious conversation about the offense with quarterback Tony Romo after the game, according to multiple sources.

The types of routes and throws are what concerns Owens, the sources said. The receiver, who the sources said was venting to Romo about his frustrations, has not liked how some of the throws were coming from the quarterback as far back as the season opener.

Eighteen passes! Not getting the ball enough? C'mon!

The ironic part about this is that two games ago, Owens was held to just two catches and 17 yards receiving by the Green Bay Packers. After that performance Owens took on a team-first mentality and said it was all about the big star on the helmet and not his personal stats. This prompted all sorts of "T.O has changed" stories from the media.

So, is the soap opera in Dallas just beginning, or is this just a little bump in the road that will go away quietly?
