Terrell Owens continued his feud with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, calling him a "bully" for forcing players to stand during the national anthem.

Although the NFL and NFLPA are working on a resolution regarding the anthem, Jones told reporters it's team policy to stand.

During an appearance on FOX Sports Radio's "The Odd Couple with Rob Parker and Chris Broussard", Owens fired more shots at the Cowboys owner regarding his team's anthem policy.

"(Jerry Jones) is being a bully. You're basically stripping someone of their right to do what they want to in a peaceful protest... To put guys in a situation where they have to do something, that's not right. That's totally wrong," Owens said.

Jones told reporters on July 25 that Owens is making a mistake by skipping the upcoming Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony where he's scheduled to be enshrined. The five-time All-Pro receiver fired back immediately, calling Jones out for releasing him in March 2009.

Owens will be giving his Hall of Fame speech at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
