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...
