Jeff Garcia, Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo now have more than one reason to be attracted to supermodel Joanna Krupa.

She publicly stood up to Buffalo Bills receiver Terrell Owens.

T.O. and Krupa teamed together Tuesday in the television debut of ABC’s “The Superstars,” but Krupa quickly experienced the frustration Garcia, McNabb and Romo have felt while playing with T.O. in the NFL.

“I don’t want a teammate like that!” Krupa yelled after T.O.’s feet got tangled up in nets on an obstacle course. “Calls himself an athlete? What does he get a million dollars for?”

“You’re the one that [messed] up!” Krupa yelled after T.O. blew a lead during their first run over the course. “We could have won! So shut up!”

Afterward, Krupa refused to shake hands with Owens.

Said Krupa: “So cocky? For what? You got in the NFL?”

Owens responded. “I feel really bad for your boyfriend. I feel really bad for him.”
