For a minute, we thought WR Roy Williams was the funniest man alive

Turns out there was more to the story.

Oh, man. We really wish this story had just ended with the quote. From ESPN (our bold):

Roy Williams remains the Dallas Cowboys' No. 1 receiver, at least in his mind. After putting in a lot of extra offseason work with quarterback Tony Romo, Williams is stunned they haven't made more progress. "It's just not even close," Williams said. "It's not even funny. Not even close."

Williams does not believe his poor production accurately portrays his performance. "I'm the No. 1 receiver," Williams said. "But things are just going No. 2's way."

WHOA! Greatest quote ever! Because if you read the subtext, you realize he's saying that his season is going to [redacted]. You know, No. 2? Ha! Can't stop laughing! Let's keep reading.

The No. 2 is Miles Austin, who has produced like a Pro Bowler since moving into the starting lineup. Austin has set an NFL record with 482 yards in his first three starts, scoring on five of his 21 receptions during that span.

Man. Not that funny anymore.
