• Cowboy Chris' Viral Video

  Werder was harassed by an irate Dallas Cowboy's fan during the taping of a segment December 13, 2008. The fan called Werder a "journalistic hack" while on a sidewalk adjacent to the lawn where the taping was occurring. The fan, who on YouTube is called by the nickname "Cowboy Chris," was respectful when talked to by different security personnel, stating that he had no beef with them, just with Werder. The altercation ended without a violent incident, although some not-safe-for-work language was uttered.NFL Fanhouse: Ed Werder Gets Harassed by a Cowboy Fan...
