Burger King- Thinks Cowboys will cut TO

[Bleu Star]

Mike Lombardi
Matt Mosley
Ed Werder


You can read Mike Lombardi here or at his website. I think he reported the story first if I recall correctly. He thinks iOwens is gone. He talks about the Garrett/iOwens relationship. He sure is putting his reputation on the line, and he has a solid one from what I'm reading.

Both reporters, with legit sources, think Owens will be icut.

Mike Lombardi has "sources" inside the NFL. He is a professional. You know what, you tend to lose your "sources" if you identify them. That is why they are protected. They have reasons for not wanting to be identified.

Matt Mosley's Dallas Cowboys connection is well documented.

Ed Werder lives at Valley Ranch, so trying to dismiss all his "sources" is a tough hill to climb. Good luck. The ESPN article was well documented on this site. I read where he talks to John Garrett all the time on the sidelines, and I read it from a credable source who goes to the games, right here on this site.


There is reason to think iOwens is going to be icut. Will it happen? We shall see.

I think he's gone, and I hope he's gone.

Hey. Thanks to you this thread will balloon another 100 replies in the next few hours. Bravo.

Yep, given JG's not-so-warm comment about TO and all of these reports, none of which have been refuted in the least by the front office, I think TO's chances of getting that bonus in March are a lot lower today than they were, say, one week ago.

98, compadre. You and I already have added two more, as I write.

You got something against the expansion of this thread? :laugh2:

I think the bonus is due in June so we get many months of this speculation...:bang2:

Yep. I just can't help myself. The level at which TO has enveloped this board is astonishing.

 

[DallasEast]

Yep. I just can't help myself. The level at which TO has enveloped this board is astonishing.

And your reasoning for complaining about others contributing to this thread is again..?

 

[Shake_Tiller]

Yep. I just can't help myself. The level at which TO has enveloped this board is astonishing.

Yep. That's something upon which, I suspect, we all can agree. At some point, we'll move on to Barber/F. Jones/Choice, I reckon.

You want to be a running team? Run the ball WITH Owens and it'll be even more effective because defenses will have to honor the passing game more.

And don't give me that "Oh, but the coachez have to appeeeeeease T.O." BS.
Does anyone here honestly believe Owens would complain if the team were winning? If Deion ran to Owens to ask him why his numbers declined while the team was 10-0 and had emphasized the run a lot more, he'd be able to truly answer with, "well, we run the ball a lot more, so I don't get as many opportunities."

End of story, end of "problem."

Of course, Deion wouldn't be running to him to ask this question because his numbers will only IMPROVE if this becomes a "run to set up the pass" team.


41gy#'s response:

You are making my argument easy. You are putting a qualifier on this player's behavior. That is the problem. Owens gets to do or say anything he wants to do or say, and the organization bows.

Why should he be treated any different? Why is he speaking after every game? He shouldn't be "the boss" of this team. Better yet, why should a 9-7 team put up with his eratic behavior. Dallas has plenty of offensive talent. They don't need him to win. I don't need Roy Williams to be "Terrell Owens". I need him to score in the redzone and move the chains.

When things don't go Owens' way or when the ship is taking in water, he runs to the media and blames Garrett or Romo or both. Plus, he gets away with it. He's a horrible example for young players, and he's poison in the locker room. You can't win on a consistent basis with these types of selfish, eratic players. Owens' track record speaks for itself. Where ever he goes, drama follows.

I want winners, not selfish, divas like Terrell Owens that chirp after getting the ball thrown to them 17 or 18 times. His production doesn't make up for the divisive force and disrespectful attitude that he has for players and coaches, including the quarterback.


Note: I was going to quit doing this, but it just keeps on giving. It's just like a presidential campaign. JordanTaber, I've seen you talk down to a few people on here, so here it goes again.

Yeah, my bad. I read something somewhere about a bonus in March but just saw that 3.1 is due in June.

They won't wait until then, though, if they're going to cut him. We'll know by FA, I expect.

 

[Bleu Star]

And your reasoning for complaining about others contributing to this thread is again..?

I wasn't really complaining. I was making light of the fact that the machine gun replies were about to start back up again. (& they have)

I hope...

The other way to peace here is for them to cut him but I suspect we will be doing the same thing next off season.

Bleu Star, you and I are on the opposite sides of this argument, but I've enjoyed the back and forth. You are a Cowboys fan, and that is apparent. I appreciate your point of view.

Besides, if that is your bicep on the avatar, I don't want to argue with you too much.

The chicken wing belongs to moi. All in good fun. At the end of the day it is all about the Boys.

I will be cautious, then, my friend.

Oh man, don't even say that.

How do you gather all that from a picture of my arm?
