Asked about playing Dallas--the Cowboys will open the regular season in New York on September 5--the man known as Marty B didn’t pull any punches.
"I just want to kick those guys' asses," Bennett said, per ESPN Dallas. "That is what it is all about. I mean we are cool but we ain't that cool, know what I am saying? I kind of got some ill feelings towards them overall. It is a game, I kind of hate everybody, honestly, in the NFL."
