Yeah, but there are going to be so many "I told you so's" around here if T.O. explodes that people need to start creating a comeback for it. Just like the "BP never liked Henson and did not give him a chance" line.
and all that is a part of the entire TO package.
TO = drama.
Press = selling the drama
avg. fan1 = what wasn't personal now is - we must fight for justice where we never thought to before
avg. fan2 = still hates TO and understands all the crap going on now is just part of the overall reasons why they hated him to begin with. some of this will do the "quickdraw" (proclaim self worth over obvious predictions) and do the I TOLD YOU SO and some will sasy "worth a shot" and the rest won't care and will be glad it's over.
avg. fan3 = hopefull TO can and will turn it around and puts faith in BP and/or his "last chance" will keep him in line where it never could before. they're moreso the "worthashot" type also.
in the end w/TO you get:
1) arguably one of the most gifted WR's in our time
2) an arrogant SOB who crybabies his way to what he wants
3) one of the hardest working WR's in the game
4) a media target due to his given talent and knack for wanting to be the bad boy which will only get the media frothing at the mouth to outdo each other to give you the slop we see now (of which i don't deny)
5) a legitimate threat on the field at all times
6) someone who like it or not has a habit of poo'ing on teams and again, due to his talents both on the field at out of the mouth, he is the media darling for a story and all we will hear about regardless of which team hs's on. being on america's team *does* kick it up a notch.
none of this can be seperated. whining about the media as if it will help i just don't get. to me it only adds fuel to the fire so to speak and if you really want them to tone it down, quit taking the bait.
yet daily we hear how unfair the media is and fans from all sides whine about it.
sorry, when we took TO onto the team, we took the good and the bad. expecting the world to change cause it effects us now is just a tad unrealistic.
