PFT: Joey Sunshine (Theisman) Strikes Again?

[WoodysGirl]

Last Monday night, ESPN's Joe Theismann climbed onto a soapbox for Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens, predicting that Owens would never be a problem at any time during his career in Dallas. (Joey Sunshine also predicted that Owens would return to practice with the Cowboys on Wednesday, further confirming that Theismann does no homework and/or has terrible instincts.)​

Now, in the wake of news that the team has fined Owens $9,500 for missing meetings, a reader tells us that Theismann has called out Owens on ESPN News, and openly has called for the Cowboys to cut him.

We'll withhold judgment until we hear Joey Sunshine's about-face with our own ears. But it wouldn't surprise us at all if the guy who apparently is unable to commit to memory the words that have come out of his own mouth has replaced in less than six days his absolute, no-doubt-about-it opinions regarding Owens' good behavior with a new set of beliefs that completely conflict with his past comments.

Look, it's pretty obvious to us that the only reason Theismann survived the Chip 'n' Dale 'n' Doofis routine from ESPN's Sunday night broadcast is because Al Michaels didn't want to be shown up by the search for an analyst after he initially committed to the Monday night gig.

Once Michaels reneged, ESPN was stuck with Theismann.

The real question moving forward is how long he'll last. We give it two years, since the powers-that-be in Bristol won't want to implicitly admit that they erred if they dump him after only one year.

I pretty much agree with Theismann's assessments on Owens. I didn't agree with him saying that Dallas would be better without Owens. I think we are in the position where we'd like Owens on the team and to contribute to make us a better team, but we don't *need* Owens to be successful.

I pretty much agree with Theismann's assessments on Owens.

Which one?

The one where Owens won't be an issue, or the one saying we should cut him?

And if you asked him about Owens today, what would his assessment be and would you still agree with it?

Theezman isn't just a huge homer, he's a stupid huge homer who loves the sound of his own voice. I hope this article's wrong and he gets canned after this season.

He was on Mike and Mike this morning talking about this. I just got the very end of it, but what I heard was a complete 180 from Monday night about the TO situation.

joe keeps :horse: saying Owens is a jerk (i was not aware of that) and that Owens existance in dallas is Jerry's doing and has nothing to do with BP and now we're stuck with him. blah, blah, blah...

all i know as far i can tell from afar is that we are loaded on defense and once the season rolls around owens will be in the lineup. if he's still "hurting" then someone else will take his spot and we will amass 12 or 13 wins on our way to the ball. these talking heads make a living out of this "cotroversies" and are like pittbulls and won't let go until their satisfied. i for one are not worried one iota whatsoever.

He did say that he thinks Dallas will win the division, that suprised the hell outta me.
