ESPN dudes downplay T.O.'s tardiness
T.O.'s tardiness came up early on NFL Live, and ESPN has followed my lead by opting not to sensationalize this story.
Cowboys great Darren Woodson, who isn't the look-at-me-holler type anyway, said it's only a big deal because T.O. was involved. Sean Salisbury, who excels at cutting Woody off before he finishes a sentence, surprisingly agreed.
"I don’t look at it as that big a deal either," Salisbury said. "There’s probably guys late every day at some point on the practice field in training camp. Whatever T.O.’s reasons are for being late, the fact of the matter is this is a great football player. He ain’t getting cut. Now, if it was me, I might have been cut. But it’s Terrell Owens. He’s not getting cut.
"I don’t have a problem at all with the player. He produces."
But Salisbury, who has been critical of T.O. in the past, admitted that he's biased about The Player this year. He drafted T.O. for his fantasy team.
