i could be way off base here - but it's hard to imagine the "TO-haters union" wouldn't disband promptly after his first TD in a cowboys uni... which could easily (nay... probably) occur inside the first 10 minutes of game #1.
i'm for "that" which helps the cowboys win football games. and whatever that turns out to be - i'll defer to combined wisdom and savvy of BP and JJ. if it's owens... i'll be amped for opening day just like always. so will you. all of you.
let's always strive to be honest here.
in all honesty, i don't want him. he's been a pain in the arse to EVERY team he's played for TO THE POINT the TD's he's scored didn't matter - they still tossed him out on his arse.
WHY would that be different just because he was a cowboy? would he suddenly grow out of his ID syndrome and realize he's a great player on a TEAM or will it stop after GREAT PLAYER? odds are, it will stop and he won't give a damn about you, me, the stadium, the history...
one thing "history" has shown us is TO only cares about TO. while we're striving to be honest here let's remember that and quit pretending some magical makeover would occur to him as soon as he put on the "silver star".
TO is TO and in the end he's just as disruptive to his own team as he is to the teams he *does* tear up. we've only got 1 more realistic shot at this WIN NOW garbage and TO - history has shown - will hurt more than help in the end.
you don't have a lot of room for error in a WIN NOW scenario. let's not invite the biggest error out there and again, pretend he'll become a good guy - just for us.
