Big Whit trolls Florio/PFT

Prime example...

Reporter pre-draft: Joe Burrow, you are the presumed #1 pick, do you want to play for the Bengals
Burrow: I'm excited for the chance to be in the NFL for whoever drafts me
Florio: Joe Burrow doesn't want to play in Cincinnati

But read exactly what Whit said. He brought up the situation with Smith, then said "they". It is perfectly reasonable to assume based on his wording that 'they' are the Cowboys FO personnel. It might very well be a legit misunderstanding and was not someone from Dallas, but it was Whit who created it, not PFT. Whether he meant it or not, his words directly implied it was Dallas.
