T.O. kettle celebration

[AMERICAS_FAN]

If by classiest you mean: attempting to draw attention to himself because he loves the spotlight, than yes. If it was classy he would have donated it after the game when all the cameras were not on. If you could see past your man crush on TO you would probably realise this.

Seems I must have offended you by saying "too bad the T.O. haters will never acknowledge this, but &^%$# them".

Honestly, my complaints of Owens' behavior are minimal.

Since that nap celebration, he's been like every other player out there on the field. Didn't celebrate his TD against Arizona. Didn't complain he wasn't being thrown all the passes in crunch time against Indianapolis. And, frankly, didn't really try to draw that much attention to him today, either, despite the big stage.

I'm glad T.O. is a Cowboy. I really am.

Yeah... he said that we are a high scoring team and thats what he wanted from this team... he said Romo-mentum too... LOL.... he may not be getting as many TD's as he wants but he is helping offense and others are benefiting too... its great...... EVERYONE can score on this team... how can you stop that..... teams can only HOPE to contain us now

It's incredible how Romo has made everything right in Cowboyland.

The fact that he's taken all the attention and heat off of TO with the media speaks to his walking on water abilities.

Whats also incredible is that the undrafted QB has helped make the Dallas Cowboys a home for Terrell Owens... TO is bigtime and Romo knows that.... TO also knows that Romo is big time too...

All Romo does is gush over his receivers, his line his team, coach, owner.... we can go along way with that

Ordinarily, I'd agree with you.

But look at it this way: the whole world (I'm exaggerating but you get my point) saw TO donate that football to the Salvation Army bucket. Now imagine if the Salvation Army auctions that ball to raise money for children at Christmas time. The display on television makes that ball even more profitable.

Now, I don't know whether TO thought of all this when he made that donation. But if he did, this is one time where his mugging for the cameras was put to good use.

I think we both know his intentions were not to promote donations to the salvation army. I hope that it does have ripple effects that promote donations. However I think that we both know it won't. That is an exaggeration for even the most die hard TO fan. He just wanted a clever TD celebration for people to talk about later in the week. As most things he des, it was all for him.

If you could see your lame crush on Cowboy Bebop.

The man crush comment was meant in jest. Sorry if I seemed snarky, I refuse to use emoticons so people always assume I am very serious.

Classy or not I could care less.

I thought it was Great!

True creativity would have involved him whipping out a check book and pen from his sock and submitting a sizable check into the pot.

That's what I'm talkin about!

I was watching with some folks who don't like TO at all. One jumped up and shouted -- that's a awesome celebration!"

 

[ATurkishSeaOtter]

No matter what TO does good or bad, there are those that will view it as negative. There was nothing negative about this. People should stop trying to spin everything as anti-to.

Agree. I liked it a lot, out of all the things he could have done he chose one that demonstrated giving to those less fortunate, I guess some people can make anything sound negative. Did anyone notice if ESPN showed it and what what their spin on it was?

 

[Dave_in-NC]

I don't like owens at all. I did like that celebration, although I was crapping my pants wondering where he was going with that ball.

 

[Bryan8284]

The ball drop can only help the Salvation Army and that's worth it. I'm not sure TO was meaning to get them attention rather than be silly with his celebration, but whatever.

First off let me say that I opposed bringing in TO cause of concern over what harm he'd do to our team which has so many young players and not a lot of vet leadership--most teams won't count Bradie James 4th year as a real vet.

TO has made a few mistakes since he's been with the Cowboys but nothing like the media has made it out to be. Also why I'm somewhat suspicious of everything he does, I was very pleased with his celebration of his TD by giving/donating that ball to the Salvation Army. Find myself distrubed that a real Cowboy fan on Thanksgiving Day would criticize him for giving that ball to the Salvation Army. I equate that with those fans of other teams who claim Romo cocky and arrogant cause their team can't beat him on the football field or are scared of what the Cowboys are doing.

Anyway, do any of you realize how much money the Salvation Army can get for that football. Besides the fact that the NFL will fine TO $2,500 for giving the ball away, the Salvation Army would/should auction that football off and they will get big bucks. For pete's sake, TO (one of most famous players in sports world whose known only by his initials) catchs a TD from the most well known "rookie" QB in the NFL right now on the way for a big Cowboy win for us on Thanksgiving Day on national TV & TO donates that ball to the Salvation Army. If Salvation Army can't get at least $10,000 for that ball, they didn't try. You know there's got to be a football fan, hopefully a Cowboy fan, who loves Cowboys enough or has enough money to essentially donate it to the Salvatin Army and get that TO catch ball thrown by "rookie" sensation Tony Romo. Won't be surprised if the bidding went as high as $20,000-$30,000 and some of you don't like what he did. The public way he did it is what will guarantee it bringing in the big money. Plus what's to stop other NFL WRs from doing something similar in their TD celebrations; he might have started something by celebrating it this way.

It's dispiriting that so many Cowboy fans on Thanksgiving Day can be so critical of an action that will benefit so many Americans this Christmas season. You really should be ashamed of yourselves. I can only hope that those critical were just kids who didn't know/understand any better and not mature adults. I've no doubt I'll be blasted for posting this or even have it removed by moderators. Well they can do it if they want.

I hear ya... I just dont think that TO was thinking "classy"... I think he was trying to be creative....

 

[AMERICAS_FAN]

Ok, so when T.O. "sleeps" on the ball against Washington he is being classless; but when T.O. "donates" the ball to the charity bucket he's just being creative.
