People with comon sense think Carp is saying that every one is upset at the loss, not your hero.
Boysboy;2299819 said:Yes, everyone INCLUDING Owens is upset about the loss. Heck-so am I. So what's the big deal?
*sigh* I knew we were in for a LONG week.

Carpenter was asked what did his teammates think about Terrell Owens' comments regarding needing the ball more following the Cowboys' loss to the Commanders.
"Everybody is upset and frustrated about it," Carpenter said. "I think he said it and guys view it and say, 'maybe that was a little bit out of line.'
Is Barbie talking about losing the game or how the team portrays Owens I need the ball comments more. Furthermore, I am not sticking up for Owens big mouth if you read what I say. What I am saying is that Terrell is a Hall of Famer in waiting. Bobby can't even make the starting lineup and if anyone is going to spill the beans about Terrell, and this should be kept internally, then it should be a leader on this team or offense like Jerry, Wade, Romo, Witten or Barber. T.O is nowhere my hero but he has much more credibility than Barbie. T.O does not usually do right, but he speaks from his heart as selfish as his heart may be, you get the truth out of the guy. I guess you like that Barbie is out doing interviews speaking on behalf of his team that he happens to be a backup on and also on a topic that should be dealt wth internally. Don't worry, they'll ship your beloved Bobby to Detroit before the deadline and you can go follow him there.
AKATheRake;2299889 said:Lol, just use him to top off a trade for Detroit's Roy Williams.

Carpenter was asked what did his teammates think about Terrell Owens' comments regarding needing the ball more following the Cowboys' loss to the Commanders.
"Everybody is upset and frustrated about it," Carpenter said. (This sentence, with no ellipsis, indicates that he's continuing his flow of thought.)"I think he said it and guys view it and say, 'maybe that was a little bit out of line.' But at the same time everybody [knows] he's out there practicing everyday. Not many guys, 13 years in this league are putting the effort on the field every day in practice and that's something everyone in that locker room respects." (Notice, Carpenter says nothing about the loss. The entire focus is on T.O. This leads me to believe he was talking about T.O.)
Dave_in-NC;2299894 said:That was just the press cutting the comments up they way it does for owens.
Does that only happen to owens? Big mouth you are sticking up for owens because he's a future hall of famer, big deal. Carpenter is on this team starter or not, weather or not he stays here I could care less but he has the exact same right as owens to express himself.
I agree that tons of topics should be dealt with internally, owens doesn't allow that. He didn't show Sunday so he does the next best thing in his mind,
run his mouth. You have to agree the best thing he ever could do from day one of becoming a Cowboy is say absolutely nothing. He can't do it.
His mental make up is that weak. So when another player says what Carp said
why call Carpenter out? He more than likely is sticking up for Romo because Romo has to much class and respect for OUR team to say any thing himself.
Carry on carrying owens jock dude.

FCBarca;2299727 said:Yeah, I read that on the blog...'Everybody is upset and frustrated about it'...Doesn't sound necessarily that it was no big deal
AKATheRake;2299934 said:The truth is neither of these two should be talking but 1 did and the other guy is out there commenting on T.O when really Barbie needs to worry about other things. This is my main point and you got on me for loving T.O. Now you're calling me a big mouth after you basically told me I had no common sense. Plain and simple, Bobby is not adding any value to the situation and he needs to add value to this team in other ways.
In regards to T.O. I was one of the first here after the game to express his stupidity in saying anything negative about the offensive approach of the game when he had 3 huge drops and more less significant one during the game. T.O is in no place to say what he said after his performance but since he did I am hoping someone on that D get's pissed off because we need to play hungry on that side of the ball. What's done is done with T.O, I'm hoping to get something positive out of it. By the way, T.O isn't sqwacking about quantity of plays, he's sqwacking about type of plays and he's still not right for doing so. Garrett will straighten him out.
Just to conclude, none of these guys should be talking about all this garbage to start with and when someone like Bobby continues about it,it's even worse. If you like all the backups running around adding to the media's ability to make a story out of nothing then that's your opinion. Not for me though. I also do recognize that the media manipulates information. There's a way to answer questions so that it is more difficult for them to do. I hear Bobbies on again at 9 tonight while Romo is on another network at the same time. You can go watch Barbie and I'll go watch Romo. How does that sound?
Dave_in-NC;2299971 said:I appologize for the big mouth comment. That was out of line.
You don't think owens needs to worry about other things? Two weeks no production. This from the great owens? As pointed out Carpenter is close to Romo, if he sticks up for him cudos to him. I doubt Carpenter is the only one tired of owens bull. Like you I wish they would all shut up, there is too much talent on this team to let owens and his stupidity start crap.
But since that won't happen maybe some body , any body saying some thing as slight as Carpenter did might get Wade or jerry fired up enough to say some thing. My opinion is neither have the nuts too.
I'll watch both.
Boysboy;2299707 said:If Carpenter was drafted by a 4-3 D team, he would have turned out to be a stud. Feel bad for the kid b/c he was in the wrong scheme to begin with.
Looks like he's off to a good start becoming a color commentator-I hope he has a good career in this profession assuming he's not playing next year.
