another angle on why he will be good - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Future · 03-22-2006

Alright, so everybody agrees that TO loves the spotlight and media attention on him right? So I'm going to really go out on a limb with this.

I think T.O. will be well behaved, just so people talk about it. I don't honestly think that he has ever had a real problem with any of the people he has played with or management and I don't think that many of his comments were sincere, just AGDs (Attention Getting Devices). What would get him more attention than not dancing? or not making dumb comments?

This would put him in the media spotlight but with a positive image this time. People would see him as a guy who changed his ways and helped lead a team to success. What more could someone ask for than to be remembered like that? It's a TV movie waiting to happen.

Maybe I'm a homer, or biased...OK i definitely am, but it wouldn't surprise me to see this happen. With the comments he's made so far like the one to Jerry in the press conference I can see him being a good boy. Good for him and us and the Cowboys.

So your saying its OK to yell FIRE in a crowded theater, just so long as its not real. "I just wanted attention". Yea, your gunna get attention doing that alright.

So next time he wants attention, does he call Julius Jones gay, or tell his receiver coach not to talk to him, ot throw Michael Irvin under the bus?

Thing is, if hes willing to do that in SF and Philly just for attention, How long do you think 10 mill will keep him happy and attention satisfied. If hes gunna do that just for attention, what happens when say Glenn exploded in a 3 game stretch and gets say 30 balls for 350 yards and 4 TDs. While Terrell is sitting at say 7 balls for 85 yards and no TDs. Think he will be happy for Terry whos getting all the attention then?

i think your missing my point

im saying that he might be good just to get attention...it would be something new for him

Yeah, and I just pretended to like sports and men. Now that we've signed TO, I can cancel my Sunday Ticket. DirecTV will be devistated and reinstate me with the HD receiver and free Sunday Ticket for a year (or the remainder of TOs contract .... whichever comes first).

Behaving well rarely brings attention.

TO gots his muney. he will surely find other reasons to misbehave.
