Sounds good to me. I think he is a BP type of player, but I wouldn't pay him the type of money he's looking for.
Um dude, TO is pretty much the exact opposite of a Parcells guy. A Parcells guy will report to camp come hell and high water, that includes when the player is looking to restructure his contact.

I ain't smoking nuttin. Its easy to say that you would sign this guy or that guy, but our history as Cowboys has always gone away from the norm. As soon as TO score a TD or runs the entire field to make a TD block for JJ, everyone will love him regardless of which team he signs with. I would sign any and every player that plays with his passion and performs after he opens his mouth.

TO was supposed to be a target for the Ravens and he single handedly turn that bulls eye on his chest into one on any player on the Ravens roster on the first play from scrimmage.

Not one single person can put themselves in his shoes and say that they would do different. Its the nature of the business, even Michael Jordan threatened to sit if he didn't make his values wirth. Deal with it, its going to continue for years to come. Just relate his situation to your job! You would want your job knowing your outperforming others and aren't getting paid for it. Then add the fact that no matter what he does, someone is watching and trying to set him up for failure. He has still yet to have any off the feild incidents.

People resent him for speaking the truth and that whole running to the star thing, but he makes plays and others around him better, and no one can deny that!

Please tell me how different are TO and Key. Pretty much the same personality. If I remember correct, it was mentioned that Key might want to play for BP in Dallas when he was suspended by the Bucs. The same threads were started about this and that, and not wanting MEshawn. Now after he has showed the heart and dedication tothe Boys everyone loves him. Go figure!

They are different, but not completly different. When on the field Key shows he is the ultimate team player, and TO doesn't. And Key has yet to anything wrong while he playing for the Cowboys. Another thing, Key gives his TD ball to dissabled kids. TO on the other hand runs to the star, signs with sharpie, shows he is a girly man with pom-poms, ect..... Give me Key over TO any day of the week.

First off, if anybody mentioned Keyshawn might play for the Cowboys when he was still a Buc, it wasn't him or anybody affiliated with him. In fact, I remember a SportsCenter where Key was interviewed in his USC jersey and said, "Bill Parcells, I am not playing for you next year." Obviously that was false, but the guy said nothing about coming here.

Anyway, when did Keyshawn ever screw his team? The only thing I can think of that would even come close was his situation in Tampa, but even then, the Bucs weren't winning... whether he was there or not wouldn't have made a difference (if it would have, I guarantee you he would have been suited up and on the field)... TO made it to the SUPER BOWL last year and he's still being a little ***** about things... so yeah, I guess you could say they're different... the worst Keyshawn has done is complained about not getting the 'damn ball' enough... the worst TO has done is abandon a team giving him an incredible shot at winning a championship. Keyshawn is no saint, but comparing him to TO is laughable.

It's like night and day. Keyshawn never signed a 7-year deal with a team and then threatened to hold out in the very next year. He does make waves, but they pale in comparison to T.O.'s. Johnson's incident w/ Gruden was isolated in nature and overall, he's been a cooperative and passionate NFL player over the course of his career. Keyshawn also shows great respect for Parcells and his authority.

On the other hand, T.O. has been nothing but trouble off the field for every team he's ever played with. Endless confrontations w/ team management, Offensive Coordinators, Head Coaches, other players, other teams, QBs (BOTH Garcia and McNabb) etc. It never ends with this guy. He's an arrogant jerk and a bridge burner who goes against the grain at every turn. He has no respect or allegiance to any player/coach/team. He should be called "Me-O".

There is no comparison between Keyshawn and T.O.

Your a joke! You mean to tell me holding out for more money is far worse than being SUSPENDED BY YOUR TEAM! Every athlete faces a time when he must stand up for his true value. Next you'll tell me you hate Emmitt for holding out, then lead our team to a Super Bowl and MVP honors. Now when you can show me where TO ever took a play off during games or didn't play all out, then you got me. Until then, you have nothing but an agenda or pure haterism against this dude for nothing! Whan did Keyshawn screw his team, please. Try the same year he said h wouldn't play for Bill, and now look where he is. Oh Yeah, I bet you were one of those guys that didn't want Key either.

Your entitled to your opinion, but until anyone can show me that TO has not played all out, go to bed. In SF or in Philly, he plays just as hard on pass plays as he does in running plays. Big difference between Key and TO. They both were caught on TV giving it to a coach. They both have criticized teammates while playing for them. Although, I have yet to see TO get caught on tape threatening another mans life or being kicked off of a professional football team. Its okay to like a player because he plays for your favorite team, but be realistic when evaluating the two! Key has by far benn more disruptive with his teams than TO during their careers.

Your right, Keyshawn never had it out with Crebet or Warren Sapp or Gruden. Nor did he never talk bad about the Jets organization when he found out that he wasn't going to be around once BP left the Jets. Key never threatened to hunt a guy down for dating his ex-wife. Nope he's an angel! Come on fellows, just because Key plays for Dallas doesn't all of a sudden make him a saint. And maybe Key should be called MEshawn. Oh yeah, he was called that when it was first thought that he would sign with Dallas. Were you one of the guys that didn't want Key either? When did TO get suspended from any team during his career, like Key did? Your right, they different!

Dude...I think you could use a Xanax™. ;)

Like Parcells has said, Keyshawn does indeed "chirp" from time to time. But has he ever disrespected an opponent's team and stadium during a game?

Has he ever held out due to a contract dispute?

Other than the isolated problem he had w/ Gruden, has he ever berated a coach on the sideline during a contest?

For that matter, how about a QB? When has Keyshawn pulled out Sharpies, hoisted Pom Poms, or mocked opponents during the course of a game?

To my knowledge, Johnson has never questioned a teammate's sexual orientation nor has he been involved in any racy game promos. Granted, that wasn't necessarily his fault.

Keyshawn isn't an angel, but please don't compare him to that ******* anymore.

Okay, this is royally starting to piss me off. This will trump anything Owens has done in the past and make Drew Rosenhaus the biggest ***clown in the NFL.

Owens has absolutely no room to demand more money when he hasn't fulfilled half of his obligation to the Eagles. How much was his signing bonus? Somewhere in the range of $14 million? The Eagles won't trade him because it'll kill the salary cap.

Him holding out is completely and utter asinine and he'll be with the Eagles for another 365 days before they'll even consider thinking about trading him.

The Eagles haven't started training camp yet, so yes TO has never held out.

Tell me another coach beside Greg Whatever that TO had it out with on camera.

How about Key saying that Vinny is the only Qb that can correct him! What about Brad Johnson his SB winning QB or Neil O'Donnell. Great teammate Key.
Nope Key never stomped in the endzone to show up the opponent. Just ask Terry Bradshaw about that one.

Key never called Crebet the team mascot in a book or demanded to just throw him the damn ball. Nor did he verbally jab with Warren Sapp while they played together in TB.

Key never got caught on a answering machine threatening to hunt down people.

TO giving a ball to a friend that was going through problems is much worse than given it to kids too.

Your right, can't compare those two receivers. Do I dare compare TO to Michael Irvin and his grand career? Like I said, this has all to do with TO running to the star and nothing else. You can't possibly win this one dude, they both are in the same boat with Moss, Key, TO and Irvin, whether you like it or not.

haha... I can just imagine TO and Ron Mexico on the same team. Owens will whine that Mexico wont throw the ball. Mexico will say "shut up, I'm Ron Mexico and Ron Mexico runs."

The Eagles wont budge, either he plays for them or he sits IMO.
It would be great though if the Eagles cut TO and others teams had the integrity and balls to not sign him. That way he doesnt play and he makes no money. Then he can sit at home and realize his life wasnt that bad after all lol.

I think your right, but I still would have no problem with him playing for the Boys. Other just have agendas about the whole star thing!

No, that Star incident does not pass. That is unforgivable as a Cowboys fan. He didn't only disrespect the team, he disrespected the NFL. You don't mock your fellow players in such a manner. I could honestly give a **** if he wants to play here. Jerry Jones wouldn't have such malicious demeanor on his team. Parcells won't tolerate it and I'm sure his teammates won't allow him to throw Bledsoe or anyone else under the bus when he fails along with the rest of the team.

Owens will not be a Cowboy and if through some luck of the draw he does, Jones will fine him heavily for any stunt unbecoming of a Cowboy.

For real.....No way Parcells wants that mess.

I'd like to see him in Atlanta with vick. It would make for a very interesting season for them. He'd be too selfish for them to win anything to.

I hate what he's about despite him being a great talent. I am thoroughly enjoying the drama that he's brought to the Eagles. T.O. is sqatting on them the same way he tried to do the STAR. :disseags:T.O.
