In an effort to bring closure to the throwing at Champ Bailey issue, which reared its ugly head during and after the Cowboys disappointing loss in Denver, we'll let Bailey himself weigh in. Here's what he told Fox's Jay Glazer:
(Please note Glazer calls him "the best shutdown corner in the game."

"I was a little surprised, I gotta admit. He would try me all day and I picked him once early in the game. I just didn't understand why he kept coming back. I welcome that challenge. I want the pressure to be on me and that's what corners live and die for. That's the one thing corners live and dies for. He (Romo) doesn't lack confidence in his arm. He thinks he can squeeze it in on anybody and I'm glad he thought he could on me. Romo's got a lot of confidence. I didn't expect him to throw my way a lot, but he did it and he paid for it."

To the victor go the spoils.

don't care what he says, but that was still pass interference in that last play. I guess "elite" shutdown corners get a pass on the last play of games.

He had his arm all the way around Hurds waist. ***** ridiculous.

Thanks Champ for overinflating your ego!! Also thanks for showing us on the final play of the game how to have your right arm wrapped around Hurd and get away with it somehow..... any other player it would have obviously been a flag!!! Oh, and before you put on your best shutdown CB crown, pass it to the real best CB in the NFL right now..... Darrelle Revis from the Jets!!!!!

It was a good clean play.

it was not CLEAN. BUT as has been said top corners like Champ get the benefit of calls and it was at home as well.
