It's stuff like this that makes me wish we would have just drafted Randy Moss over Greg Ellis, take some of the drama that came with Randy Moss and be over with it.
I find Greg Ellis to be a fraud. His gripes against the team in recent years were solely due to money and the fact that Dallas signed him to a fair deal but then Ellis later regretted because Jevon Kearse and Grant Wistrom got monster deals that they simply weren't worth and Ellis felt he should've been overpaid as well. That's all that crap was, but Ellis posed it off like he was the good guy, hard working veteran that just wanted to win.
People talk about Owens being a problem, but I honestly believe this team has more of a chance of going into the postseason and doing something with Ellis being gone than Owens being gone. Teammates in general seemed to love Owens, teammates in general seemed to roll their eyes when they heard Ellis griping. And Owens had been part of teams that had postseason success, Ellis has never won a postseason game. Not to say it's all their credit of fault, but to me it sort of gives you an idea that one player...regardless if you like him or not is a 'winner' and the other whether you like him or not is a 'loser.' I was seriously bummed out by Owens being released, but I feel better now that Ellis has been released because Owens' complaints (if he really had any) were kept private unlike Ellis' complaints. So kicking out one guy while keeping another guy for acting worse would have sent the wrong message. At least the right message had been sent.
The thing about Ware is that he played a great majority of the snaps, particularly on 3rd down. And he's a guy that is beloved by his teammates, coaches, and front office execs BECAUSE OF HIS ATTITUDE. It also helps he's a phenomenal player. Greg Ellis is just a coward and a 'you know what' stirrer and I would like to see Colombo or Flozell put him on his arse.

: He threw Spencer under the bus on the Baltimore game and then said he didn't mean too that he's a young guy and still learning and that he loved him. He said he couldn't be the leader because the coaches took his snaps away. He really reminds me ego wise of TO where he thinks that he is a great player than can carry the team if they only use him more. He also defended TO. I would think that espn will podcast this so everyone will be able to hear it.
