Jenny, I may not be a smart man, but I know how to count.

Hey Lou Lou. Wearing the bike jersey and not practicing are ONE. And you said Five so by your own count you have a problem with math.

Maybe you have had a finger amputated and that is throwing you off.

I count two insignificant acts: (1) Wearing a cycling jersey, and (2) Not practicing.

You miscounted (by two!). Be a man and admit it.

edit: Also, if you missed it, the fifth was the throwback helmet.

I combined the two as one because it was the point that he was making a mockery of not practicing by wearing it.

You need an education.
BTw, in case you can't read I already said that I could see that as not a problem, however you still can't count unless you have a reading problem.

Either which way, I am not out to slam TO. I just hate that it has been a circus and he has done little to help the situation. I hope he becomes the best WR there is.

Whether you combine them in your head or not, they're two different acts.

Thanks. I get the fact that you think I'm an idiot.

O RLY? You said that before I posted the thing about "5 insignificant acts"? I may be missing something, but I DON'T THINK YOU DID.

Whatever. You either can't understand what you are replying to or you just want to start a flame war. Enjoy!

Right. I'm looking for a flame war, but you're the one that consistently calls me an idiot and says that I can't count.

1. Wearing a cycling jersey.
2. Not practicing.
3. Wearing a throwback helmet.
4. Writing a book.
5. Last dressed/to practice.

Flame wars begin when people can't admit they're wrong. You've made 2 clear mistakes in this thread and won't admit it.

Ok I have read all of this and quite frankly all of this TO apologist crap is getting on my nerves.

Yes CajunCowboy overreacted to a non-issue and should have just let it drop. But the fact remains that Owens IS the big story here in camp and he has earned that spot. It was inevitable that he would be the big story in camp when we signed him and anyone saying that he should not be or that it is not understandable is just trying to bury their head in the sand and ignore the realities of life.

Owens has been a big story since he began blowing up at coaches and QB's in San Francisco. Then he began whining to the media when HE and His Representative screwed up and didn't take care of business and get his contract voided. Then he whined to the media and filed a crap grievance to get a legitimate trade voided because he wanted to play somewhere else. Of course had he taken care of business he would have had that option...but he didn't. Then he blows up at more coaches and QB's on the new team that he whined and moaned his way on to.

So now here he is on our team and the media and many fans are watching everything he does looking for the beginning of the end. They are looking for the big blow up because history says it will happen. And even though the Helmet was a legitimate action in compliance with the teams request the fact remains that it made him stand out yet again. It is reasonable for people question why he was doing it. The other things he has done like the bicycling outfit was pure and simple showing off and could legitimately be seen as a distraction. His practicing full speed on his own after practices but still not working with the team was also a legitimate cause for concern given his history.

He has been a distraction and a media circus everywhere he has ever been and now people wonder why the media is looking for a story from him? This kind of activity from him and the associated media and fan reaction was to be expected...So you TO apologist need to just get over it because this was INEVITABEL...WAKE UP!!!

That's not exactly true, not in this case anyway. The sportswriter was very clear as to why T.O. was wearing the throwback helmet in practice the other day. It was CajunCowboy that misconstrued the writer's comments and then used that as his platform to voice other issues/concerns that he has with T.O.

In all fairness, it's not just the media that erroneously reports a story concerning Owens. Sometimes we (the fans) get it wrong as well.

They won't get that much good out of one quarter of practice and there are bigger issues at stake. Parcells has to have the respect of his team; he can't just rollover for Owens. And according to Mosley's latest report Bill apparently sees it the same way. Although he will deny that is the reason he is not going to let Owens play on Monday

I know your position on TO, so I'm not going to address the rant. But tell me this, how does one become a TO apologist? I mean there are alot of people on this board who don't care for TO nor did they want him on the team. But since he's here, many (myself included) are willing to let it play itself out. For me it's a matter of waiting til he actually does something outrageous that is a detriment to the team. I haven't seen that. And that's why I try to avoid all TO threads.

Missing practice was a concern, but considering that other WRs around the league w/hammy issues took the same amount of rehab time I can't legitimately gripe about that.

This whole discussion was basically about an overreaction, and it gave folks another opportunity to take their shots. In my mind, this particular TO blurb is a non-issue in the grand scheme of things. I refuse to let every TO blip on the Cowboy news wire ruin my enjoyment of the team.

The bigger issue is that preseason isn't about Parcells vs Owens.

One...you like counting right?...I'm not a TO apologist. I wasn't for the signing, but he's here and there is nothing I can do about it.

Two...I don't think anyone here thinks TO is a saint. But he isn't satan either. For crying out loud, just wait till something actually happens first before we all condem him for screwing the Cowboys up for ever.

Three...I'm sick and tired of hearing people like you saying the world is ending because he's a Cowboy.

And number Four......(that's all your fingers, but not your thumb...okay?)...I'm equally sick and tired of hearing the "Randy Galloways" giddy over a Parcells, Owens, Jerry Jones melt down that hasn't happened and for the same on wishing for a blow-up just so one of these yahoo's can scream the loudest I told you so...I was right from the beginning crap.

And finally nuber Five...(Add your thumb now)...Nothing you said was untrue...that I'll agree...He did everything you said he did. But none of it was a real issue...at all. You can say what you want about his injury, whether it was real or not, but the fact is people like you don't care if it was real or not. As long as you can point to something and make it a major issue and start your TO is a cancer and the Cowboys will be forever ruined speech to show the rest of us that you are so much more superior to us "TO apologist".

Come on wise up. What part of the antics have you missed over the past 6 years with this guy. Or don't you watch alot of non-Cowboy games and think T.O. really had an honest disagreement with Mariucci, Reid several asst. coaches, Jeff Garcia, Donovan McNabb ....and his driveway in front of 10+ reporters is his preferred spot for situps.... just because.

The guys a classic attention-starved child who needs to create noise...because he can...and must.

Okay...but what does any of this have to do with why T.O. was wearing his throwback helmet the other day in practice?
