Your an idiot if your comparing what T.O has done to what Bin Ladin and all those bast*rds have done. Going back to the original question, i already like him for what he does on the field and even more because of the teams he has screwed over, Philly and the 49'ers (2 of our hated rivals).
No, of course not, but my point is that while it doesn't usually matter what happens off the field, sometimes it does and you can't allow self-centered, disruptive, tantrum-throwing prima donnas (see Antonia {misspelling intentionally} Bryant) to cause the team to deteriorate in it's performance. I admire and respect his athletic prowess, but detest they ways he has essentially destroyed two teams in order to childishly get his way. If you could only put him in a box after the game and not open it up again until the next game, he might be acceptable, especially if his mouth is properly taped shut but I think there's probably laws against that.
If BP wouldn't put up with Bryant, I doubt he would tolerate TO. BP has put together a good cohesive team here and will no doubt add to it in the off-season and it will be even better next year. It would be a shame to see that melt down. This team is heading the right way without TO and in my opinion, have a better chance of attaining it if they avoid TO. His present employer doesn't seem to have benefitted much from his being there. Of course, maybe the Eagles deserved it, some of their players thought so and said so.
I suppose I would accept him if he settled down; I accepted DeIon, but never managed to like him and still don't. I have learned to accept things I can't change, but I don't have to like them.
It's a team game and is so now more than ever before and Parcells realizes that. Jerry Jones doesn't. Jerry's just attracted to the sparkle and the loud music.
