Owens Spitting Truth About Romo

[DoctorChicken]

Do people not understand that TV personalities, such as TO, are often told to say things like this?

 

[DoctorChicken]

Anyway, Romo was a winner and great QB. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

If TO can say dumb **** can’t I?

What do you mean? They're not told what to say as if they're force fed words to say. But if they have those views, they are encouraged to share them.

I’m really happy to see that Owens can still afford a nice suit. Good for him.

This kind of says it all.

Owen's is just another nfl loser that would most likely be in jail if it wasn't for catching a football

 

[Melonfeud]

Our fans seem to love anyone and everyone who trashes a former or current Cowboys player, coach etc. It's very sad.

Ya,& all the while, they are being granted the equivalent of a "Willy Wonka's golden round trip ticket of insightful footballish professordumbed degree, to any tom,dick or any other, self absorbed once was or never was,,,,squawkin'& honkin' off in their quacking's as they tool thru at that self granted insulated altitude ,like a V- wedge flight of crap spewin' Canadian geese

Another player speaking the truth about Romo. Great announcer, good qb, never a winner.

owens had his best years with the least experienced version of Romo. Maybe quit dropping everything in sight and you would've played longer with him.

No question. You've been doing that as long as I've known you!

Owens has a good argument. But quarterbacks much worse than Romo have won super bowls. So what's the point? Romo can't catch the ball for Crayton. It's not Romo that fumbled the ball against GB in 2014. It is a team effort and always has been.

Bingo! Plus, Romo can't block for himself in 2009.

 

[FTWayne]

yep owen had the skills but didn't have the brains to be a team player.

 

[Daillest88]

TO talks **** about every qb he’s played for, who cares

You know why one side of that V is always longer than the other side?.............More geese on that side!

 

[FTWayne]

I just wish they would show him doing push ups and setups in his driveway again. lmao... whats he doing spitting anyways on a show?

Yeppers!,,,and it'd be a hell of a lot more shorter if those 20mm airburst projo's weren't so frickin' astronomical priced outta' the obtainable range,Too!

Don't imply all fans are like that. Owens has a long history of praising a player or coach and then days, months, years later talking trash about the same player or coach. I remember Owens in an interview once after a game where he was in tears saying Romo was his QB and how great he was. Or when he first went to philly and said how thankful he was to finally be able to play with a QB the caliber of McNabb and then after he left throwing him under the bus. You can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

They are on occasion absolutely told and asked to say controversial things. I have worked in show business before.

Players who retired in the '80s and '90s receive anywhere from $3,000-5,640 per month for every season played in the NFL. Newly retired players (since 1998) receive $5,640 monthly for every year of service. Players with 10 years of service receive an additional retirement bonus in the form of an annuity.

So I guess he could make a million a year starting 10 years from now.

Everything I have read seems to indicate it would be way less than this. The average pension paid out apparently is around 45K per year. While Owens played a lot longer than the average player, I can't see any conceivable way that a pension would be drawn up where he would get 20 times the average pension. The pension appears by all account to be simply based on service, and has nothing to do with the salary the player earned. If anything I would think a smartly drawn up pension would be like social security and help the players with shorter careers more than the ones with longer.

And yet TO had what you could argue was his 2nd best statistical season ever in his mid 30’s catching balls from Romo. Whodathunk?

Just imagine what TO’s numbers in Dallas would have been if Romo was actually worth a damn (sarcasm)

SMH

The reason why everyone hated Owens ----> The truth hurts

Tony was a very good quarterback, but he won't go into the Hall of Fame as a quarterback. He could go into the HOF as a broadcaster if he keeps it up for the next 15 to 20 years.
