I didn't ignore it. I read it, felt it was pretty ignorant, and decided it wasn't worth my time when other people were actually excited to talk about football for a change.
But since you have opened yourself up by thinking it was so important for me to address I will.
I have no doubt that you wouldn't respect Garrett if he was your coach. That wouldn't make you worth a pint of spit as a player just like it reduced Owens' value to the team. You obviously do not grasp the need for players to respect their coaches. I can't really explain it to you beyond this. The greatest Coaches in NFL History all demanded respect from their players. None of them would have put up with a prima donna, aging blowhard who put himself above the team in importance on a regular basis.
Owens has had multiple chances in the NFL and has played for some very good football teams. He is a remarkable player who each of those very good football teams has eventually determined was not worth the effort.
If you want to continue to believe you know more than all of those football people then by all means continue in your warped and frivolous fantasies. The rest of us would like to move on to the real world.
Owens is gone and it won't hurt us one bit. He is not the be all, end all WR. Other teams can and do win without Terrell Owens. It happens every single year. The world does not revolve around him.
Forgive you for not sucking off some formation that I am drooling over? First of all I didn't ask anyone to do that. Your piss ant act is wearing razor thin with me and this kind of language is exactly why no one takes you seriously. How can they? You're nothing but a kiss up to a player who is no longer here. Wring out your crying towel and move on. Either to the Bills forum or get over it and stick around.
This place is about the Dallas Cowboys, not Terrell Owens. These formations, the players and the coaches left behind are the reason why most of us are looking forward to 2009. You're not. Boo hoo hoo. Grab a pacifier and your blankie or suck your thumb. Personally I don't care one way or the other what method you use to bend yourself into a fetal position and find your happy place.
To that end I will damn well post stuff about formations and possiblities and I will discuss the 2009 Dallas Cowboys to the beatings of my tiny little heart and I refuse to give a flying damn that you are butt hurt that Terrell Owens is gone and any formation we draw up in 2009 would be better if he was still here. I don't agree. I think he was an albatross and is someone else's problem this year.
In 2008 we could not have used a formation like this for one very simple reason. A certain spotlight grabbing, whining, protesting WR we had on our squad last year wouldn't have stood for it. Forget the fact that his skills are clearly declining. Oh sure, he can have one marvelous game against a piss poor Defensive game plan and look like some kind of hero to mouth breathing masses of iLoveMeSomeMe butt kissers, but to knowledgeable football fans, he was no longer earning his paycheck and it was time to move on. He wouldn't have accepted this because.......DUH......it is a featured 2 Back formation which means this is designed to make us a RUNNING team to set up the pass. He would no longer be the focus of the offense.
Garrett may or may not use this type of formation in 2009. I have no doubt whatsoever that the man is smarter than I am. Maybe he can improve on this. Maybe he envisions something else altogether. All I was attempting to do was inject some football discussion into the daily paparazzi and piss and moan threads. I didn't take the time to even consider how this would hurt your tender feelings. I can't imagine why I would give a damn.
