Jason Witten will return to The Star tomorrow for the first time since retiring after 15 seasons playing for the Dallas Cowboys.
It will be an emotional moment, Witten said, perhaps even more than his first time going back to AT&T Stadium. That happens Monday when Witten will call his first Cowboys’ game as part of ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast team.
Witten’s first season in the booth hasn’t gone as smooth as his former teammate Tony Romo’s transition the previous year and critics, including social media snipers, have mocked some of his growing pains. Witten, of course, has heard the jokes, and to his credit, has shown a knack for self-deprecation.
