Cowboys lose all my respect if they....Sign TO *MERGED*

[BigDFan5]

This from an old Bastid who has always stood in the way of progresss, will always yern for the "Good Old Days" and will spank smart mouth younguns as needed.

If we sign TO, we sign him. there isn't anything I can do about it. When he catches that first TD pass I will cheer him, if he embarrases the I will boo him.


One thing for sure with TO on the field the opposing D's will have to account for him which in turn opens up other possibilities for our O. As a football player he can only make the team better.

I would hope at the first hint of TO causing a problem in the locker room. We would have the vet leadership and or coaching staff to put out the fire before it spreads.

great post CBZ

Bingo!!! I feel the same way. If several fans quit buying merchandise then it will hurt the revenue stream a little bit!!! Hell, I will even have a hard time watching them if TO is on the team and I definitely will not buy any tickets!!

Not too be ugly, but if a few fans stop buying Cowboys merchandise so what? Terrel Owens - despite his troubles - is one of the NFL's most popular figures. For every hardcore Cowboy fan that stops buying tickets and merchandise, two fans who want to see TO play will take their place. The sells off his Cowboys jersey alone will probably replace the lost revenue.

Not only that, there a gazillion Cowboy fans, so a few thousand won't make a difference!

I'm not for T.O. coming, but, if he did...bring it on!

I just saw the same thing. Len Pasquarelli is saying this Eagle is going to land in Dallas...

Can someone post the story?

 

[superpunk]

Crippled...The Eagles?

Let them get healthy next year and they will be right back where they were.

Don't sell it short. That front seven and WR corp needs LOTS of help. This isn't the OLD NFC, anymore. There are actually legitimate cntenders besides the Eagles now.

 

[Dallas]

TO is a loser, and Irvin wasnt a team killing cancer...what Irvin did hurt himself and not the team

TO has crippled two franchises

David

So if T.O does sign w/ Dallas. From your post here it seems like you and CactusJack will be FA Dallas fans.


Who you gonna sign w/ David? Should we track your plane as well?

Yep, no money for Cowboys merchandise for me, if they sign this yahoo. And I will ritually torch my favorite Cowboys shirt. The guy can't see past himself. He will just be a pain...

Someone please explain for me what the term "Disgraced the Star" means.

Running out and slamming a football on our midfield emblem apparently is "Disgracing the Star", but Irvin's ILLEGAL (as in, you can go to State Prison for a very long time), cocaine binges and prostitutes at a local motel, (that by the way seriously damaged our hopes of repeating in '96), apparently doesn't qualify, because there aren't many posters on here who said they "lost respect" for the Boys because they kept Irvin on the team.

This is not a slam on Irvin, (he's one of my all-time favorites), it's just to show the utter nonsense of the term "Disgraced the Star" when it applies to T.O. slamming the ball on the Star at midfield, at a time he played for our arch-rival.

If you want to hate on T.O. for what he did this past season, that's fair game. But to say you have "no respect for the Cowboys anymore" if they take T.O. because he slammed a ball on the Star, is ridiculous.

The NFL is a business and the object is to win. If Parcells and Jerry think T.O. will help us win, they will try and get him.

Irvin Never failed a drug test. Funny that.

That's insane.

But, go ahead. No one's stopping you.

I don't want him here either, but I'm going to stay above the sanity bar....

I said this before but I think it relates to your post.

and this my friends is why we will never understand why muslims were made that we flushed a "book" down the tolet, but don;t care when peopel are killed.

See everything are objects.But we as humans apply MEANING to objects that FAR FAR OUT wya what the objects practil value is.

For example in marlobo man movie the dude kept wearing broken boots and havign to tap them up with duct tape. Reason being his farther gave him those boots. Therefore the object that was worthless to other people was the most valuable thing he owned. Same thing as I have a 1964 plymoth signet convertable that was given to be when i was in elementray school people ask about buying it but i tell them you don't want to buy the car for what I am asking for it. Simply it is worth more to me then other people. Keep in mind I am 21 and I haven't driven since the last hour needed to get my license s when 16. I hate driving but I don;t plan to sell car.

POint being that humans inject into objects meaning and the object transends the pysical world into a emootinal and mental world. People will react emootinal in crazy ways because of this.

That being said the star isn't just a star painted ont he grass that can be removed and repainted. It emboddies everything about freeedom, justice, love, championships. It is the blood, sweat, tears, history of the rgeatest team that ever was. It is the symbol of Americas Team. It is what peopel are willing to die for. When you disrepspect the star you show you have no honor. You cannot respect things other peoepl value. If you cannot respect the star how can you play for it. How can fans accept you.

For example people don't to receite the songs of other national teams songs when another country wins a computition, but the stand up for it and don't spit on it.

Doesn't matter if you are a drug dealer, a coach that carries a gun into an airport, if you have a shaarpie in your shoe, if you killed someone. But if you siresepct all that is holy and write in america the Dallas Cowboy star.
then there is no spot even on our practice sqaud for you adn there shoudln;t even be a spot on our rivals practce squad for you.

by the way TO would rock as a cowboy

Well, as an Eagles fan, the one place I don't want to see T.O. go is to a division rival, but Jerry is the only owner that I've seen openly express interest.

Before we signed him, I didn't want him, either...for all the obvious reasons. When we signed him, I resigned myself to look at it on the bright side, as you have to, because after all, he is extremely talented.

Then on the first preseason game he played in vs the Ravens, on the first play, he catches a McNabb 50+ yard bomb in stride and just waltzes into the endzone like Baltimore didn't have a secondary.

That thing would have knocked Todd Pinkston over, and no other receiver we have would have been open. I didn't rush out and buy an 81 jersey, but I knew he was going to change our game for the better, and he did. For a season. The rest is history.

So the question becomes, knowing that you'd probably get one really good season out of him, maybe enough to get another Lombardi, but will likely tear the team apart after that, is it worth it?

Very nice post, sir.

I won't like it. But is it worth it?

HELL'S YEAH!!!!!!

Agreed...This is a New NFC East...And there are new contenders...Including the Cowboys.

But the Eagles are going to be there too.

They have more holes than any team in the east. It's not just about getting healthy for them. They need to be active in FA, unless they plan on their 7 second day draft picks having a big impact this year. Philly needs ALOT of work.

 

[KobeEgan]

after he scores his first TD he kneels down by the star and kisses it?

 

[Hostile]

In a word no.

It isn't about forgiveness. Never has been.

 

[The30YardSlant]

You know he'll do it, too....

 

[locked&loaded]

ILL FORGIVE HIM WHEN HE PULLS HIS PANTS DOWN AND ****S ON THE Commanders HELMET :laugh2: . and when he scored tds left and right

 

[rojan]

Hellz Ya!!!
