T.O. (jersey gate, sucks, blah blah blah) Thread

[cowboys101]

When Lowe for the LA Dodgers wore a RedSox Jersey when he went to Boston for the ceremony the media jumped all over the back of Lowe. They made a big deal about how disrespectful it was to wear another teams jersey. It was all over ESPN radio and ESPN News and was talked about for days.


Yet TO does it and I don't even hear it being covered by the major media.

I must be missing something but I cant think of anything worse a player can do to his team then wear another teams colors. I lose respect ( not that I had much ) for the Eagles for just blowing it off. I think they should sit him for a game or 2.

I live in PA and I know the Eagle fans are seriously mad about this. They are taking it as a major slap in the face.

I have seen it on multiple sites, have heard of it this morning...and there have been multiple threads on this site on the same subject.

So I don't see it as any secret or like the media hiding it.

Even the media has grown tired of the TO drama. something like this isnt news for TO, its expected behavior from him at this point.

You can't think of anything worse? How about breaking a law, tanking it on the field, not being prepared, not giving 100%, talking smack about your teammates, hell being late for practice is a worse offense.

In short, my god you guys take yourselves way too seriously. It's a freaking game. And a shirt. It doesn't hurt anybody and if you get upset about it, you need to rejoin the real world.

It was on Cold Pizza and Skip Baylis said it was horrible and a slap in the face and that an Eagles defender should of nailed him before he got on the bus and he said that it would be the first hit they made that day.

And Woody Paige said it was nothing, and said Key on the sideline was worse. (Why cant ESPN get over that? Key and Bledsoe have)

You are right, ... it is just a game, it is just a shirt, and it doesn't hurt anybody.

But he did wear the opposing team's jersey, what was he trying to say, and to whom was he saying it ?

You can't just brush this off, I mean have you ever seen this before ?

I read in one article about it, that if the Eagle players didn't confront him on it, then they have worse problems than Dallas revealed in the game.

T.O.verkill? :laugh2:

 

[Hoov]

confront TO, thats what he wants. He wants to stir up as much BS as he can. Still if i was his teamate i would have called him out for that for one reason....i would have taken that act as a simple sign of blatant disrespect and i would have gone off.

In my mind i would have said to myself, look at the jerk, he's trying to provoke us....

Good one, yes its definitely been that this year

I agree with the above. This is more major than that other crap they were reporting during training camp. TO is in essence supporting the team that just spanked their butt & basically in bed with the enemy. I am so glad he plays with an NFC East rival. It's a gift from the football gods. I haven't heard one major media outlet (radio or TV) report on this.

If the Eagles defenders could "nail" anyone they wouldnt have gotten beaten like a drum They can't get over Key and Drew because its a DOUBLE Cowboy story and they LOVE to hate the Boys


I'm wondering if he lost a bet, especially since Irvin interviewed him not too long ago.

I bet that is what happened, it is the only thing that makes any sense.
