I Forgive Owens

[Apollo Creed]

Well I like winning, and I think that without 81 this team would have had absolutely no shot to be in the position they are in right now.

Inspires the whole team, look at what he has done for our younger receivers. Too bad it took him till 35 though

Better late than never.

I'm excited to potentially see Spencer, Newman, and Austin back out there!

Ha..that star excuse is so pathetic. It's a frickin logo painted on grass.

I was always for the signing of T.O., he was, is and always will be my favorite football player.

He is a great player, a great leader and a great team-mate. When you look back on T.O. you have to be impressed, turning himself from a skinny little nobody to one of the best receivers to ever play the game is a sign of his hard work and also very inspirational of what you can achieve.

Man, some of you need therapy! You'd swear TO has smacked some of y'all mothers or something the way you're beefing with him! Breathe easy & relax...it shouldn't be that personal! But, hey, that's just my opinion, you all are well within your rights to hate the guy, I suppose!

 

[CowboyChris]

You take TO off this team and it might struggle to go 8-8. T.O. has produced in this league with every team he's been on, and just might be in H.O.F someday with a star next to his name.

So much drama on a football board. Did I accidentally click on the Days Of Our Lives fan board?

The 2nd and 3rd best posts in this thread.

Now, THIS reply I can respond to accordingly.

I don't know jack about you.

You don't know jack about me... other than the words I post here. And what I post here are my words and no one else's.

**** Terrell Owens. He should do his JOB. It is what he is paid to do. His JOB is to help bring a championship to this team. IF he does his job well, I will complement him for doing a good job. That's it for me. If he means more to YOU, beyond what he is as a player for the Dallas Cowboys, that's perfectly fine. I, however, am not YOU.

If the Lord is willing, I will live long enough to see him off this roster.

Some people mean what they say when they say it. I am one of those people. If you need a reminder of WHO I am in regards to Terrell Owens, do a search of him and me and you'll get your answer.

Congratulations. You're the first person who has pissed me off in a very, VERY long time. That's not a malicious admission on my part towards you. That has all to do with how I feel about Terrell Owens.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

Goodnight.

I care less what ppl think about TO. Hes a COWBOY!!! LIKE IT OR NOT hes a star among stars. JERRY also doesn't care to much for the fans that hate him. Reason why i say this!!! is you being a T.O hater will not win us a championship nor try and help us get to a super bowl... T.O will ---or more like help the heck out of us to try and win one.. This sport is about wining championships and T.O is one of the best starting points to get us to a championship... So like him OR not i could care less. Also i think if u have so much hate on a player on the cowboys roster!!!! I don't understand why u still hanging around with the COWBOYS. Its very easy to find another team to root for----and maybe you will like all of there players. To me its all drama. I just don't see how u can hate someone that much. Still THINK IF U HAVE THAT MUCH HATE U BETTER OFF LOOKING FOR ANOTHER TEAM TO CLAIM ROOT FOR OR FOR YOU TO SUPPORT

THIS IS HOW IT IS. Example.. I hate Tony Romo. Why? Will because he knew i liked JESSICA and he disrespected me by going out with her... Will now he disrespected me and now i hate him--I CANT STAND HIM. HAHAH good example of nothing but DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA

So, I have been a Dallas Cowboys fan 30 years prior to Terrell Owens joining the team. If I'm fortunate, I may be a Dallas Cowboys fan 30 or more years after he's no longer on the roster. BUT I'm not a Dallas Cowboys fan because one man is on the roster right now?

Brilliant.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

No kidding, DE. It's pretty presumptuous for some to tell others how they feel, isn't it?

Not all of us are rooting just for laundry.

 

[AsthmaField]

T.O. is a Cowboy, so I pull for him to do well. Do I like him as a person? Not that much, although he does seem ok.

I was upset when he did what he did on the Star, but after all is said and done... it's just a game and a sports logo. There is plenty done worse than that every day.

Truth is... if we got to know the entire team personally, there would probably be 20 or so guys on the team that we wouldn't like. You could probably take any year's team and get to know those guys and have a group that you just wouldn't like.

Charles Haley, for instance. He was one of my favorite players on those 90's super bowl teams. He was awesome. One of the best pass rushers that I've ever seen, and he had a nasty attitude that the great defenders need to have. I loved Dallas having him as our RDE. If Sir Charles got pissed at me in an airport or something, cornered me, threatened to whip my ***, and then went and urinated on the hood of my car, would I still have loved him? I doubt it.

Yet, Charles actually did things just like that. He just didn't do it to me or where I could witness it. Therefore, he was still one of my favorite players.

I'm sure that every team has good guys (according to me or you) and bad guys (according to me or you). However, even though every Dallas team through the years has had people that I wouldn't like on it... I still never said that I wasn't going to pull for Dallas because of them. Heck no. I pulled for Dallas every season, 100%. Just like I do now, with T.O.

Am I glad T.O. is on the team? Yeah. He's a heck of a player and he helps the team immensely. Am I glad that he seems to be maturing? Yeah, I am.

I knew Haley was a ****... but did I ever want him off the team? No. He was a great player and I was glad he was there. Frankly, I don't think we would have won like we did in the 90's without him. He scared the **** out of opposing teams. We all loved how mean he was. You don't play that mad and that mean without being a jerk... yet we all loved having him in Dallas.

Seems to me that you can't have loved having Haley here, wreaking havoc... and not appreciate what T.O. does for us as well. I mean, Haley threatened one of his coaches and pee'd on a teammates car... Owens simply scored a TD and posed on the opposing team's logo.

How can you dislike TO and not hate Haley more?

That's just my take on the situation. Other's may not agree with it...

I'm fine with T.O. on the team. Just like I was Haley and Hollywood Henderson and Irvin and...

If I may, I wish to address a question to:

• Terence Newman700
• lgarcia792002

--or anyone else who uses area codes, zip codes, etc., in their usernames.

While practicing with the Arizona Cardinals during the summer of 2003, Emmitt Smith made the following comments to Sports Illustrated's Peter King:

"[2002] was the worst year I ever went through playing football. Too much damn drama. Too much selfishness by too many guys on the team. Too much media frenzy around the team. People always looking to me for answers, and I didn't have the answers for them about why we were so bad. It felt like being a diamond surrounded by trash. It was just a mental grind. When I got the record, it was like God said, 'I'm going to give you one moment this year.'"

A lot of discussion was created out of those comments. Here's my question:

What were your thoughts?

If you were too young to remember, nevermind.

 

[Clove]

One thing to remember, is that when it's all said and done, these guys are human beings. I made the comment during the time we first picked up TO for the individuals talking about his attitude, and his me first demeanor, I told the board that most of you on here dogging him, ACT JUST LIKE HIM.

A lot of you are quick to judge someone, and you have that same nasty attitude, me first, on this board. Some have season tickets, so they think their poop doesn't stink, and they have a license to rip apart anything they don't like "whine whine, I can't have my way".

I'll never forget how bad the "hardline" on 1310 the ticket with Greggo and Rhines, they tore Michael Irvin apart during his drug thing in the mid nineties.

All of a sudden, one of the guys that blasted him so much basically was fired from the radio show for doing cocaine and basically being addicted to drugs.

My advice is, look in the mirror before you start tearing apart someone's life, and just because that person is not like you in any way, doesn't mean they're bad people, they are just different.

You people that get on these young players for having fun and dancing around in the end zone etc, OMG, you guys at the stadium act worse than that. You scream at other fans, and throw out explicitives to the opposite team and their players, so before you start to judge a guy because he doesn't look like you, or act like you, take a look at how you act and your attitude.

Be fans, not judges.

RANT OFF!

Very true. Still, I think it's pretty obvious that, for some, the adoration goes WELL beyond the jersey.

I'll join in on this one. I liked #22 as a player, but as an individule I can't stand the guy, period! And, it was not the "diamond/trash" thing...I just cannot stand him in interviews, the news, on Sports Center...nothing.

As a player, hell yes, I admired the man, just like I admire T.O. as a player. However, as a person...I could not care less about him.

Carry on...

TO is honest in just about everything he says.

Emmitt came across as being honest in that quote.

I dont see an issue there.


Thats silly.... you dont know either one of them "as a person".

And you do?


From what I do know about #22, I have my own opinion of him, just like you do with your opinions. Is that OK?



I absoutely love Big Mike even though he's done all the nasty things he's done...but he's changed, and I admire him for that. The same way I love Hollywood for his turning his life around from what he's been throuigh.

But, Emmitt...nah, he's a spoiled brat and there are many instances of how he shows it, and many more from people that have met him who say he acts like his crap don't stink. Well, it does...although I doubt he would ever admit that!

Carry on...

No I dont. Never claimed to.

Yes like the anatomical orifice - we all have one so its ok for you to have one too. lmao

To form an opinion on limited knowledge is one thing. We all do it.
But to go to an extreme "opinion" based on it is just "curious" to me.
