Ever heard the phrase, "he's a lightning rod?" We knew coming in that Owens was going to be a circus. Why act shocked about it?D41lasCowboys31;1060983 said:Piling on TO, shocker!!!
I wouldnt expect Jaws to be upset, lol, but Jackson was saying something is goin to happen next week...do they think TO planned on overdosing on pain pills??? I don't understand what they are thinking. They keep saying he is a distraction but he hasn't done anything wrong since he has been here. Hamstring injury, yeah so did Steve Smith and he actually missed regular season time but was the media poudning him, I dont think so. He had an accident where he overdosed on pills, was that his fault? I don't think he said "Im going to overdose on pills so I can make headlines". Just goes to show you how stupid the media is.
It's a little ridiculous when Ditka is up there saying he would cut him, though.Hostile;1060986 said:Ever heard the phrase, "he's a lightning rod?" We knew coming in that Owens was going to be a circus. Why act shocked about it?
More shocked how the media will pile on this guy and blame him for everything.Hostile;1060986 said:Ever heard the phrase, "he's a lightning rod?" We knew coming in that Owens was going to be a circus. Why act shocked about it?

Cut him? CUT HIM?!? For what? Hurting his hamstring and having a pill mishap? Holy overreaction, Batman!

Yeah like TO is the only player in the league taking supplements and pain pills.Yeagermeister;1060995 said:The most interesting thing to me was that they said the nfl was checking into the supplements. I can already see a suspension coming.

Pain pills is a dark cloud that has hung around the NFL for years.
Farve took to many pain pills and was addicted but he was somehow seen in a different light than TO.
Imagine that.
This is a case of "self-fulfilling prophecy" by the media. They insisted that it would happen and they are doing their best to make damn sure it does.Hostile;1060986 said:Ever heard the phrase, "he's a lightning rod?" We knew coming in that Owens was going to be a circus. Why act shocked about it?
Exactly. Again, why are you shocked?D41lasCowboys31;1060994 said:The thing is he hasn't been a circus the media has been trying to make the situation a circus.

No kidding. How naive are they?Dave_in-NC;1061017 said:Exactly, why people didn't think the baggage would follow Owens I will never understand.
