It looks like Joseph Randle's arrest video isn't helping team chemistry in Dallas. According to ESPN.com, Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant got into an argument with Randle on Friday over something Randle said in the arrest video, which was released on Wednesday.

In the video, you can hear Randle make several comments, including one about Bryant, "Dez didn't miss no games for slapping his mama," Randle said in the video.

It's not clear, but it seems like Randle made the comment because he was wondering if his shoplifting arrest would lead to a suspension. Bryant was charged with misdemeanor assault in 2012, but the charge was dropped and Bryant wasn't suspended.

Besides the Bryant remarks, Randle made several other comments during the arrest video, including asking a female jail employee for a $100 massage.

As for Friday's spat, Cowboys tight end Jason Witten stepped in before things got ugly, according to the CBS affiilate in Dallas.

"Alright, don't say another (expletive) word!" Witten yelled at Randle. "Alright? Don't say nothin' from here on out. Don't talk about it."

Bryant was asked about the incident after practice and didn't really offer any details about what happened.

"Oh, man it's all good," Bryant said. "It's all right. That ain't no big deal. It ain't a big deal. It ain't no big deal. We got to get on the Arizona Cardinals."

Witten didn't offer many details either.

"Things happen all the time," Witten said. "It just so happened (the media) probably were out there for a little of it. So we're going places. We're trying to move on from last week's game. All that's handled and you move forward."

One thing's for sure, the Cowboys will be moving forward with Randle. The team decided not to suspend him after the arrest, however, he was docked one game check worth $29,500.

I'm surprised Dez and Brent haven't kicked his ars.

So in all honesty, Randle was kind of right, but he's got to know better. Just shut your mouth and do your job. As usual, I'm glad Witten intervened the way he did.

Right about what?

During your arrest you are caught on video bringing up the arrest(a real embarrassing one) of another player on your team? It what universe is that warranted in anyway?

If Dez said something first ...then yes, He is the last one to throw stones but Randle just brought this up out of the blue.

Right in that it's ridiculous the Cowboys seem to think slapping a woman, especially a mom, even if she is a lady of the night, or driving drunk and killing a teammate isn't that big of a deal. In the grand scheme of life, that's pathetic.

Now with that said, we don't give a crap, and they don't give a crap, because it's all about winning football games. Dez has way more value than Randle and even Brent may have more value than Randle. Combine that with the fact that Randle is bringing negative attention to the team and combine that to the fact that they're coming of a loss, and Randle is the clear bad guy, even if he's not really the baddest of the bad guys.

Don't get me wrong, there's no way Randle can be honest and make comments like that. He's just asking for it from the organization, his teammates, and especially us rabid dog fans. As far as we're concerned, Dez can slap his momma in front of the world every Sunday, as long as he keeps catching TDs.

I have a feeling Witten saved him from getting his ass kicked. I don't mean to sound like Dez is Mike Tyson or anything but I'm sure he has plenty of supporters if that were to get ugly. From watching the video, I really think Randle became very scared. Sure at the beginning he was acting cool and basically wanted them to know he was a Cowboy. Then he realized it became serious and acted like scared kid, which is basically what he really is. He is 22,23.? I'm not condoning it, and yes it was a punk move

Sad, funny and very very true.

there is bit of a difference in their situations though

Dez's Charges were dropped

Brent went to jail

Randle hasnt even went to court. And you can bet they will use that tape against him.

ESPN Dallas reports that a majority of the Cowboys players want Joseph Randle released.
Randle's off-field issues have become a distraction since getting arrested for shoplifting earlier this month. He was involved in an altercation with Dez Bryant in practice, and coach Jason Garrett held a meeting on Saturday to discuss concerns with the entire team. For now, the Cowboys don't appear to have any plans to release him. Randle remains the primary handcuff for DeMarco Murray.

I wanted to keep Ryan Williams over Randle anyways. So wouldn't mind if he got released. Even though it doesn't sound like he will.

I wanted Randall on the team because I think he the best insurance to a Murray injury. However you never throw another person under the bus to try to save your own skin when you screw up. If he's released I won't gripe. Actually I'd like Dez or Brent to teach him a little less on first. Maybe we can bring Sam back for a day and put them in the shower together.
