Owens: Im gonna retire a Cowboy

[Iago33]

Has anyone thought of the possibility that cutting TO would alienate a good portion of the team? Sounds like Jason Garrett is the only person who has a problem with getting our best offensive player the ball.

This is just my opinion: if what you say is true, then they should be alienated because they are part of the problem. Sometimes some good cells are too close to the cancer and have to go, too.

I'm glad to hear that Pacman only blew his first chance--I though he was in the teens.

By the way, history is bunk.

Pacman is just an Idiot! Let not even bring him up I can agree with you there glad to see Him go. Na na na na hey hey hey GOOD BYE!

Why does Pacman's baggage come with him but Owens' doesn't?

His baggage didn't follow but after being suspended for a year a smarter man would leave the knuckle heads behind and associate himself with some gentlemen inorder to better their situation especially when your under a microscope like he was.

Jerry: My only regret is that I have but one soul to sell!
Devil: That's what you told me last time we made a deal--where do you keep finding these souls that you give me?

I guess you can believe what you'd like but again- just because he distracts you, doesn't mean he distracts the team- I really doubt they perceive him the way you do.
If Jerry was gonna cut him, it would have happened by now.

And just how do you know this for 100% sure?

AND.... don't believe that last line you wrote either! It's gonna be a a while before June 1 and ANYTHING can happen!

:wink:

Would a smarter man have done an interview with Deion Sanders like Owens did--especially when you're under a microscope like he was?

No, I'm not equating criminal activity with talking out of order, but both have histories of disruptive activity and yet you're happy to see only one of the two go.

 

[Hostile]

Hos, haven't you learned by now that the TO supporters don't believe Owens is a "distraction and lightning rod for controversy." It's always someone else. [media, Garrett, Witten] The media is a problem and they seek out the lightning rod, but the interview with Deion was completely and totally unnecessary. There's no reason to do that if Owens really has wised up.

Everyone has his/her own interpretation, and I'm starting to believe that we will never see eye to eye on this issue.

I have, but I keep hoping that common sense will take over. Optimist that I am.

He doesn't distract me, he clearly distracted the team and the evidence is pretty clear. The Front Office is divided on keeping him. Some players are speaking out. You can stick your head in the sand if you wish. I never liked q-tips enough to want to clean out my ears of sand.

 

[Hostile]

I wonder if we're watching the same team or do you T.O. haters just watch him for a I told you so moment.

I don't hate him. I actually talked to the guy and find him very likable.

I just happen to like my team better than I do him and he's a distraction to my team.

Other than uber-stud Barbie Carpenter, what players have spoken out AGAINST Owens?

When did Jerry sell you the team?

Third chance with who?

Chance #1: San Francisco. Playing in the NFL for every single player is a privilege, not a right.

Chance #2: Philadelphia. The 49ers wanted to get rid of Owens as much as he wanted out of San Francisco. Bundled trade paperwork left the 49ers without any compensation, the Baltimore Ravens left out in the cold and the Philadelphia Eagles with the wide receiver they always wanted, but ended up with a lot more than they ever [strike]had nightmares about[/strike] dreamed.

Chance #3: Dallas. Philadelphia deactivated him well before the end of the 2005 season. He was an unemployed Eagle at the time Jerry Jones offered him a contract.

The Cowboys I don't think so!

1, 2, 3. See above.

When your traded the slate starts clean everything that happens w/ another team is left there.

"Trade"? Do you think that Jerry Jones acquired Terrell Owens via a trade?

oh boy.

You guys wanna hold on to something that doesn't concern the cowboys.

Currently, Terrell Owens = Dallas Cowboys. Any thing that he does concerns the Dallas Cowboys.

I dont agree with what Anquan did, but the coach had a big hand to play in it too he could have clam the situation down easily but he chose to jar back.

:bang2:

I'm almost to the point where I'm gonna start reciting Iceberg's monkey nugget analogy every time I see these weak comparisons.

If the play calling wasn't a spit in the face saying we don't want you any more I don't know what is.

Yep. Everybody's guilty of not helping this team succeed in 2008 EXCEPT for you know who...

 

[killdaskins]

Of course I like the Cowboys above the individual players but I dont think he is the cancer he made out to be. I didn't see any distraction that wasn't obvisous to all us at home watching and thinking why did he throw the ball there he was open (not neccessaily T.O.).

 

[DallasEast]

I wonder if we're watching the same team or do you T.O. haters just watch him for a I told you so moment.

I don't think that's a fair question. After all, how could any Terrell Owens aficionado possibly catch any games residing that far up his rear end? When Directv says they can provide satellite television AND the NFL Sunday Ticket anywhere, they ain't kiddin'.

OK DE I know he wasn't traded and since you didn't understand what happened if S.F. and Philly was their issue there and that shouldn't concern the Cowboys.

"I" don't understand?

:laugh2:

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I've said it before that I don't care, one way or another, if he stays or goes. I don't hate him like some do and I'm not as big a fan of him as some are. I like what he brings to the team on the field, without a doubt, and I'm not really so much bothered by some of the other stuff cause it often seems like it's quite blown out of proportion because of who he is and his past with other people.

*Shrugs* If he's here till the end of his new deal I will not be unhappy about it.

 

[killdaskins]

For all T.O. haters please watch this so you can see how much of a cancer he really is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOU3k97nS28&eurl=http://www.dcfanatic.com/&feature=player_embedded

I like q-tips better than removing the hook, line and sinker I swallowed from ESPN- but hey, to each his own guess.
