Martellus Bennett dubbed the Cowboys' dynamic tight end duo "Beans and Rice," but he forgot to consult Jason Witten about the nickname.
"I'm not claiming that nickname, for sure," Witten said on ESPN's First Take this morning.
Witten did say that he's open to suggestions, though. Marty B is already on the case, asking the folks following him on Twitter @Jupiters_Crunch (MartyBTV is soooo last month) to give him some ideas.

Good.

It was a touch silly anyways.

 

[zrinkill]

Stupid backward hat wearing thug is messing up my Sig.

 

[pancakeman]

The assumption that Rice has veto power is mistaken.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I finally understood the nickname

Beans cuz Bennett is brown

and Rice cuz Witten is white

His next nickname can be Jupiter and Uranus.

the only nickname Witten would probably approve is

Witten and Friend

I never knew this was such huge news. 50 threads “Pro-Bowler Jason Witten doesn’t like rice nickname!” Yea, lots of people like being called food names. Romo can be broccoli, Roy Williams is peas and Crayton is corn.

beans overpower rice. witten will have to stick with it.

And why did you assume that Witten was the "rice" portion of that combo? Hmmmm?

He didn't like "White Chocolate" either. I don't blame him.

I think Witten probably thinks it's all a little silly anyway and that nicknames should be earned... not given.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

Um negative on the broccoli name for Tony. ive already nicknamed him hot tamales, and no vetoing allowed.

So you've never seen brown rice or white beans?

I just watched the interview and the important part, in my mind, is that before he votoed it he said he was still "molding" Bennett. That's very different from the approach he took to him last year where he told him to stop being a baby and wipe his own ***.

 

[zeroburrito]

the whole nickname is a play on race... i actually think it's a pretty good nickname...if bennett doesn't suck.

 

[Big Dakota]

Well, the black eyed peas is taken.
