I know most of you think I'm just throwing a temper tantrum, but t.o. is going to tear the Cowboys apart just like he did to the 49ers and the Eagles.
Not at all. I believe fans like you can remain dedicated to their team, and still not give their stamp of approval to any particular player ...in this case TO. For example, I Never really gave my stamp of approval to former Eagles Head Coach Buddy Ryan, but if he had taken our team to a Superbowl victory, I would have celebrated with the team.
What makes you think he's going to be different?
They all have the same right to think that he will (positive thinking) than you do that he won't (apprehensive thinking).
Deep down, he hates the Cowboys, like any 49er or Eagle, and is only over here for the money.
I don't know enough about the 49ers, but it's no secret that many Eagle fans aren't ready to embrace the Cowboys with open arms. You've painted a very glib picture of the TO scenario in Dallas. Most of the anticipated behavior is based on his behavior during his past experiences with the 9ers and Eagles.
I think if TO does anything out of line, it will be sublte by franchise standards; yet, I think whatever it is, and however he does it, the media will inflate the situation to the greatest extent. Somewhere, some journalist already has his print layed out in a WORD-file ..."T.O. Strikes Again!"
But I htink TO is no fool ...I don't think he'd bite the hand that's feeding him ...again! But they say that the road to hell is paved in gold ...meaning even the best intentions could go sour and lead to turmoil.
You heard it here, you can scratch out the next few years for all hope of winning with t.o., a self absorbed black hole (in the scientific connotation) of ME ism, absorbing all energy that he can from the locker room. He is a walking disaster to any group that calls itself TEAM.
That's too deep for me.
A very large part of the reason I won't watch is that it is going to be a horrific annihilation of the team I enjoyed as a kid. Loyalty doesn't sit by and watch while this happens, loyalty gets ticked off and does something about it!
These are intriguing words. While I too have very strong reservations about TO and his capabilities to demolish a lockerroom, loyalty is a completely separate entity in this case. Loyalty and trust go hand-in-hand here. Trusting the people who manage your team, trusting the coaches, and fans to support your franchise's decision ...that's all about loyalty. You never had loyalty to begin with if you let "one" player put on your team's uniform and annihilate the image of the team you grew up knowing. I think you are empowering TO with something he is incapable of doing.
Loyalty is having gone through TO's worst behavior (at least at this point), and still believing in your team. Loyalty is about "recovering" from collateral damages and being there to support your team back to full strength when the smoke settles.
