I was just watching Outside the Lines, and they said that most likely T.O. made this decision on his own, without consulting Parcells, because normally Parcells would make such an annoucement. They also said he brought in his "own people" to help him with his injury, that are outside of the Cowboys. I think this is first crucial step of the "T.O. rift" now setting itself in Dallas. T.O. is basically drawing a line, and saying he calls the shots. If he went through the team, I am sure Parcells would not mind sitting T.O. out, but apparently T.O. thinks he is smart.
