FOX Killing Owens

[NOVA 22]

This may have been posted already, but its amazing to see how much FOX loves ripping TO. Repeatedly showing the '3 drops' graphic was excessive, even for them. Only the potential TD was really a drop at all, the other two were both poor throws. Joe Buck completely hates him, its obvious and his opinionated commentary is the reason why he has so quickly gone from well liked to very much disliked.

who on Fox?

Everyone loves to rip on this guy. He's been a complete *** over the past decade so I don't really blame them, though. In any event, I'm glad he's on the team.

Joe was actually pretty fair, he didn't count the one that was too short as a drop, and said the other 2 passes were high, but ones a WR the caliber of TO should catch, which I agree w/

also want to add that today, Joe was generally very complimentary towards the Cowboys, esp. Romo

You know, I completely understand why they get on Owens. I am not even a fan of owens, I dont like much of anything about him, I am stuck with him here so I deal with it.

Having said that, Three weeks ago pam "Huge gigantic rear end" Oliver did a pregame taped interview with romo and she said to him how do you deal with Owens, knowing that he is going to come after you and get mad at you......

I was sitting there thinking? What in the world? How is this being a professional. But I am numb to most of that stuff now, you dont find to much professionalism anymore from the media in covering the nfl. From the pregame shows, to the broadcast booth and then the newspaper guys that write about them, they are all pretty low class in my opinion.

If TO wouldn't have opened the door, people couldn't walk thru. If you are going to talk the talk, you better walk the walk.

Well let me tell you, after seeing her from about 5 feet away again today, you would need a large hand.

Well, this is kinda like watching a game, and out the blue, they circle where TO is on the field.

I have never seen them highlight any player before the play even runs during any game. But they regularly do it to TO. If they are diagraming a play or something, of course they use the chalklike circle to explain things. When they circle him before the play, heck he might not be doing anything.

He created it, we have to live with it. Part of the show that is TO. Where is my popcorn.......

I was listening for all the Joe Buck anti-Cowboys bias I hear about on here and I didn't hear it today.

TO's hands look clumsy even when he catches the ball. I imagine the dude has some seriously powerful hands to make catches(700+ or however many he has) with his poor technique.
He has impressed me with his ability to hang onto the ball on the slants and skinny posts where he has 1 or 2 defenders clawing at him after the catch. Doesn't look like anyone can strip him very often.

Yeah, just adds false fuel to the fire for non Cowboy fans. They love to throw stupid things in like that. Oh how fox influences the idiots.

Take a look at this Rogues Gallery.

Can any reasonable person tell me why TO is basically featured twice on this list?

The first one, when viewed from the camera angle behind Romo, looks like he never even touched the ball. That can't be a drop.

That actually seems like a pass that Romo is struggling with. The same type of pass was picked off in the Colts game, fell incomplete to Glenn in this game, and then the one to Owens that I am referring to was too short.

The ball that went high was also a bad pass. It is a pass that can be caught, and has been caught in the past, but it was extremely high and Owens had to go way up and sort of twist his body a bit to try to get it.

Like I said, it is a pass that would have taken a great catch to get it, but I don't consider it a "drop".

The one in the EZ is a flat out drop, and I personally don't think he was hurt, ... he had just dropped a TD so he had to act hurt to explain the drop, ... I have seen it a million times throughout my coaching years.

So to say he had 3 drops is not a "football knowledgable" opinion.
