Lets calm down on the TO bashing here...

[HTownCowboysFan]

Hes not signed yet, his plane could crash on the way to dallas, he could fall down and break both his hands, several things could happen before he signs. So till he signs, we are still cowboys fans with the slimest of hopes that GOD will intervene. If this si GODs team, he wont allow this to happen, or he will punish the boys for there folly with no more superbowls ever again.

But till he does sign, I will be here praying with everything I have that it does nto happen. I will be here bashing terrell, jones and parcells. I will root for 0-16 seasons and the worst possible luck for the boys so long as hes on our team.

I am a cowboys fan, I always will, but I can not brook this freak on my team. I find him personally reprehensible. I will stop following the boys while hes on the team.But while hes on the team, I will hope for the worst and love it when the boys start paying the price for this crap.

Knock yourself out.

TO isn't doing anything, yet.

my point exactly. if the potential for his signing rips the fanbase apart, imagine what the signing will do.

 

[Gaede]

Wow, the Cowboys fan base is about to be split in two.

The difference will be wider even than the Quincy/Hutch days

 

[Zaxor]

Do you have anything original?

I believe Mr. Iceberg said that first.

like Werthers or something?

I'm relaxed about it. If they sign him, whatever...but I'll watch all the games giggling wildly whenever something negative happens to T.O.

 

[superpunk]

Nope. I am a fan and can express my displeasure. Same as you can express your pleasure.

But you just said that if TO signs, you would no longer be a fan.

 

[iceberg]

I'm relaxed about it. If they sign him, whatever...but I'll watch all the games giggling wildly whenever something negative happens to T.O.

and that's the fan i will be. the TV will be on, i'll watch at times, but if something bad happens to TO, it'll be like watching "instant karma". good analogy on the kid thing earlier. you can only pray people learn.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Ok guys and gals lets ease up on the name calling and chill out

The momment he scores his first TD for the Cowboys at least half the "haters" will convert.

And most of them will be sporting T.O. jerseys in due time as well.

Thanks. Good to know there are people out there that care about HOW you win, not just winning at the cost of your dignity and honor.

and the moment he blames anyone BUT him for something on the field, have the lovers will convert.

we can ping pong this all day long cause the assumption is purely "we'll win now, yay!!!" and you don't see we could well lose also.

 

[Gaede]

I think we should all settle down.

It's not that big a deal!

 

[ZenItRam]

All Zoners will love TO when he leads us to the promise land!

Like he did the iggles!!! ---------> :trophy:

you don't really win if you sacrafice your core values regardless of what's on the scoreboard.

LOL. I seem to remember Quinthy throwing a few TDs...that didn't convert the anti-Quinthy crowd.

 

[Way 'nuff]

As a Commanders fan, I'm at a loss for words. I know we have our differences, but I like some of the people on this board, and I like this board on the whole. It's a good community.

But good christ, people. No one player is bigger than the concept of the team (despite what TO himself thinks). Don't let this *******s 3 year stay ruin the experience you've had of rooting for this team since you were kids.

Who knows what TO will bring, it's a toss up. You can bet he'll bring great play and a bunch of drama, but the wildcard here is where and when it'll happen. And if it's to happen, and he wrecks the franchise and causes a disruption, it'll be looked at as a black eye on the face of the franchise.

But when you get a black eye, you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back in the fight as corny as that sounds. Thats what it looks like the Eagles are going to do.

Dunno. If the Commanders got TO, i wouldn't be thrilled, but I'd never question my loyalty to the team. Hate the player, not the team.

Sorry for that, but I just think it's sad when some people allow one player to ruin being a fan of a team just by the stroke of a pen.

Hit the breaks and pipe down.....
All of you Tim Cowlishaw zombies need to step back and close your mouths ...
TO is not Michael Irvin ...hookers - Crack pipes - allegations etc....TO never had any of that crap....I heard the same when we got Deion..."oh he's a cancer!" blah blah blah ...Deion is a great guy ...a showboat - but that's all ...

Hey, and don't think for a second this team doesn't need a kick in the A ...We need confidence....a winner....a guy WHO wants the ball...We need a Gamebreaker....Dallas has always had "EGO GUYS" Butch Johnson drove Landry nuts - but he made a great catch in the SB ...Duane Thomas was a nutjob ...Dorsett forever complained about not getting the ball enough and even took shots at Landry in his book....Emmitt Smith is the biggest EGO - "Gimmie the Ball - I ain't coming out the game b/c I wanna pad my stats" player we've ever had!
And of course Mike Irvin who fired trash cans at reporters ...

Calm Down...

I have my opinion.... you have yours so YOU shut up!

 

[superpunk]

I will hope for the worst and love it when the boys start paying the price for this crap.

I hate when people throw out the "You're not a real Cowboys fan" crap -but come on! Cripes. How can you say that you will LOVE IT when your favorite team pays the price, as if this is some inevitable occurrence? Would it then follow that you would be dismayed if they never do pay the price? That makes absolutely no sense, that you would feel terribly if the whole thing works out.

 

[Alexander]

well then others must feel the same way, huh? the TO fans are getting very old with their SO QUIT THE TEAM YOU LOSER!!! talk.

Just as old and tired as the Anti-TOs have been with their "fake fan" rubbish.

The door swings both ways.

Leave it to an outsider to bring some sense to the 'conversation'.

Guys, TO is huge risk/reward--it could work out great or it could explode in our face. But, bottomline, we're taking a chance to dramatically improve the team.

Let's give the guy a chance before we light him on fire.
