Fined Armstrong says he has leg Cowboys need, but they can't use it
BY EDDIE SEFKO
The Dallas Morning News
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.”

Devin Harris and Armstrong were chosen to address the crowd before Sunday's game. The Mavs believe Armstrong went a little too far.
"I hope everybody has a safe holiday season," Armstrong said. "And how 'bout them Redskins?"
That announcement by Armstrong, a devout Redskins fan, was met by a chorus of boos, because the Redskins beat the Cowboys 35-7 on Sunday.
"You don't do that," Mavs owner Mark Cuban said. "We love the Cowboys."
