Dallas Cowboys being trash again, oops, I mean talking trash. Kitna said nothing too bad, just stating that he thinks another player is better than Newman, then the Cowboy player starts making threats and acting like a thug. The league is watching him now.
"Basically, what it boils down to is you've got to watch what you say," Newman told SIRIUS NFL Radio. "Your mouth can't write checks that your ass can't cash. That's what it comes down to. Everybody's going to see those quotes.
(Kitna) better just hope I don't blitz off the edge because I've got 15, 25, 30 thousand dollars, however much it would be for a fine. Revenge will be sweet, definitely." - Terrence NewmanNewman gets warning after comments on Kitna
IRVING -- Cowboys cornerback Terence Newman has been scolded by the NFL. Newman received a letter from the league in regards to his comments about going after Detroit quarterback Jon Kitna Sunday.
The letter, which was posted on his locker, was signed by Ray Anderson, NFL vice president of football operations, who admonished Newman and called his comments "thoughtless and irresponsible."
Anderson said that the league would monitor his play during the game and that he could be fined or suspended if it determines that he followed through on his threat of bodily harm to Kitna.
During an interview Tuesday on Sirius satellite radio, Newman said, "Your mouth can't write checks that your (butt) can't cash. … He better just hope I don't blitz off the edge because I've got 15, 25, 30 (thousand dollars), however much it would be for a fine. I've got that much for one fine. Revenge will be sweet, definitely."
Newman is upset by remarks Kitna made last year after the Lions' 39-31 victory over the Cowboys.
"We definitely felt like Terence Newman was the best corner that they had, so we knew we needed to be careful with him," Kitna told a Seattle radio station. "But even with him, I mean, he's not [Seattle cornerback] Marcus Trufant, in my opinion. He doesn't have that kind of ability. It wasn't like you were scared to throw at him, I guess."

Cowboys: Newman targets Kitna for 'revenge'
San Antonio Express-News Dallas Cowboys cornerback Terence Newman said Tuesday the threat of a fine won't be a deterrent should he get the chance to take a shot at Detroit quarterback Jon Kitna on Sunday.
Newman's comments came one day after Cowboys linebacker Bradie James said he was looking forward to making Kitna pay for comments he made in January about the Dallas defense.
In an interview with a Seattle radio station shortly after Kitna led the Lions to a 39-31 victory over the Cowboys in last season's finale, Kitna called James ineffective and said he didn't think Newman was as talented as Seahawks corner Marcus Trufant.
"Basically, what it boils down to is you've got to watch what you say," Newman told SIRIUS NFL Radio. "Your mouth can't write checks that your ass can't cash. That's what it comes down to. Everybody's going to see those quotes.
"He better just hope I don't blitz off the edge because I've got 15, 25, 30 (thousand dollars) however much it would be for a fine. I've got that much for one fine. Revenge will be sweet, definitely."
The NFL has handed out fines of $15,000 this season for flagrant helmet-to-helmet hits on quarterbacks and in November told its officiating crews to eject players who deliver such blows.
Newman said he was surprised Kitna would make such disparaging comments with Dallas and Detroit scheduled to play again this season.
"We've got a chance to kind of put our foot in his butt," Newman said.
"We've got to go out and do it, though. We can't (just) talk about it."
The odds of Kitna getting hit a few times by the Cowboys are high considering the Lions have allowed a league-high 50 sacks, including 47 against Kitna, the NFC's sixth-rated passer with an 87.8 rating.
Dallas is tied with Pittsburgh for fourth in the league with 33 sacks. Outside linebackers DeMarcus Ware and Greg Ellis have combined for 201/2 sacks for the 11-1 Cowboys, who have won six-straight games and can clinch their first division title in nine years with a victory over the 6-6 Lions, losers of five straight.
