One of the best non play plays in Cowboys history

[Cebrin]

That was a “Ring of Honor” moment for George Teague for sure. An even better moment woukd have been to not let TO score, but that’s a different topic, lol.

I'm sure there's a lot of guys (and gals) that wished they didn't let T.O. score.

 

[Diehardblues]

"troll" or "truth"....that is the question.

Just because you disagree or makes you mad...doesn;t make a "troll" It's like people don' l even know what a real internet troll is these days.

I didn't say what I said for trolling purpose. Oh...wait....unless you are saying YOU are the troll?

You;d think after 25+ years of internet I;d have all this figured out by now. Who's who and who does what. But it's a chaotic unfathomable universe. What can ya do?

I was referring to TO .

 

[Ranching]

You sure like to name drop...sheesh...embarrassing at this point!

Not to me. I'm proud of my career and the Cowboys that I got to meet because of it. Don't worry, if I ever meet you, I won't brag to anyone about it.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Never forget it! I hated Owens.

Owens used to be the player I hated the most; then he joined the Eagles the team I hated the most. The first year he was on the cowboys I still hated him and hated that he was on our team. I like TO now, but he still has issues

 

[Scotman]

George signed a T.O jersey for me. Said it was the only one he had ever done. He wrote Defender of the Star on it. I'll look it up and put a pic of it as my avatar

Ok...so that's cool. I'm not a big "signed jersey guy"...but that's totally different. Super cool.

I wouldn't blame ya for that. But hey...one never knows.

I'm fine with it, as long as it's not b.s. It makes them seem like more down to Earth guys.

 

[Blue64]

I can't think of any player on this current team that would do that.

You’re right... not a single one

Most of them are. My staff and I were at the San Antonio Riverwalk once and Michael Irvin was having dinner with a woman. He had security so no one could bother him. A couple of my coaches went up to one of the guards and asked if they could meet him, he was told no. We kept on walking, my two young assistants asked again. The guard told Irvin that they were HS football coaches. Irvin waved them over, signed napkins from his table for them and took pictures with both of them flashing his big smile. I watched from a distance, but I really like Irvin even more after he did that.

 

[GMO415]

He shut himself up right out of the league. A cancer and no one wanted him.

I didn't want him on our team, but dang.....the dude was a beast.

 

[gjkoeppen]

I can't think of any player on this current team that would do that.

That's because now they're more interested in blm and they wouldn't want to offend another black player.

I guess that's the thing. I probably should give ranch the benefit of any doubt. And look at it as them hanging with HIM...not him schmoozing with them. Good call.

He was. Elite talent.

TO’s induction into the Hall perfectly encapsulates who he was as a teammate and a player on the field. The argument for TO being inducted into the HOF is not even debatable. His career stats made him an absolute stone cold lock for induction.

Yet when he was inducted in 2018, he told the NFL to *** off and refused to participate in the induction ceremony, didn’t personally step foot in Canton for any ancillary HOF events, and held his own ceremony on his alma mater’s (Chattanooga) campus. For those that haven’t been to an induction weekend at the HOF, the setting is very intimate and many of the ancillary events outside of the induction ceremony and the game are catered to the fans. In typical TO prima dona fashion, he screwed the fans just to be able to flip off the NFL because it was more important for him to create a controversial backdrop to an immense honor rather than humbly accept his induction to the pantheon of football gods while interacting with fans of his career because that made him feel good. If you wanted to interact with him, you had to eschew the entire HOF induction ceremony where you might well have wanted to interact with TO’s other class members. Nope. If you wanted to see him, you had to choose. He enjoyed being at the center of controversy revolving around a perceived lack of respect. That kind of pernicious fetish destroys team continuity. A guy that self centered and egoistic was likely to be a terrible teammate and that’s what we saw through out his career. Monster talent coupled with monster problems.

he didnt like the bias for not going in in first ballot and hey if he felt slighted, nothing wrong with him making a protest..who cares I liked TO unless we were playing him

show me the arrest record , DV, accused of murder, child abuse, anyone complain on how hard he worked on his body and game? how hard coming back from injury? he didnt embarrass the nfl like most accuse him of because on and off the field he never was accused or arrested of anything close to a lot of players around the nfl..

so he liked to shine a light on himself and put on show, he was selfish in that aspect but again the NFl throughout 50 plus years have had these types of players and as media and SM got more saturated it made it appear worse..

No it was far more pernicious than that. On the spectrum of prima donas in this league, TO was far, far closer to the AB side of the spectrum than the other side. He caused locker room disruptions almost everywhere he went and it was generally revolving around complete bull****.

That has a cost and it’s not insignificant.
