T.O. on Irvin Show

----------------------------

Just started listening so I can't say what they talked about yet.

Good stuff about how his past situation as a 'bad guy' can help him give advice to Pacman in the future.

We all saw T.O. mature and win over some new fans, me included, who really disliked him when the Cowboys signed him. If he help Pacman do the same thing it's all the better for the Cowboys.

thanks for the link. it was great. I know for some people they will say that T.O. has come full circle.

I would politely disagree, I have been a Fan of T.O.'s since 1998, I use to wish he was on this team back then, it took some time but he is here, and he has been putting in work, a few more years of work and he will have his name even more in the Cowboys record books, as well as retiring as a Cowboy and going into the HOF as a Cowboy.

The guy is great, I've always liked his attitude, it has never rubbed me the wrong way, because he has and will always be honest, and like he said today, in the NFL they want ou to be politically correct, and that was not Owens. He now may politely decline to answer certain questions to keep from telling a lie.

In my opinion, the people that has always liked T.O. know where he is coming from because the have the same type of attitude.

Thanks. These audio links are like finding gold.

good to have a mature team now....

T.O. has been given a bad rap in the media's eye, because if you poll his former and present team mates 95% probably would say he's a good guy.

TO brought some stuff on himself... and other helped create controversy for him as well.

I never doubted his desire to win and help his team win.

After "The Catch II" against Green Bay... the first thing he did was thank and praise his team mates after the game.

He hasnt really changed all that much.

Yup.
Dude wants to win.
Dude wants fair market value for WR.

--Bunch of crap about his acting role in 'Under one Roof'
--"I couldnt be with a better franchise, at any point in my career"
--Says the Cowboys are America's team, compared it to LA Lakers in the NBA
--Dallas has tradition. He loves Jerry Jones, there is too much to say about him. He has done wonders for him, glad he brought him in.
--Playing for Dallas is something special, it is history in the making and he is trying to add to the history by bringing the Superbowl to Dallas
--He thinks we have a great chance at the Superbowl, and we could have done it last season, we just picked a bad time to have a bad game.
--Thinks we have good draft picks, and bringing Pacman in was a good move for the secondary and for special teams.
--Thanks God for his blessing, to be a part of something special.
--He has talked to Pacman, might see him at OTAs?
--Told him he has had a year off, now he should know what he can and cant do, and he is sure he has learned his lesson.
--Said himself, Bradie, Romo, Ellis, are people in the lockerroom he can turn to for guidance.
--His biggest lesson in the NFL was to keep his emotions in check. He is very emotional, and he wasnt raised to be PC, his grandma told him to tell the truth. He learned you cant always say what you think. He doesnt regret it becaue we all live and learn from our mistakes. He was just being honest, not trying to throw someone under the bus.
--How does it feel for people to look at you and want you to mentor others? It makes him feel great. Everyone has ups and downs, and you can only mature from making making mistakes. He has seen maturity in himself, and others see it to. He is always available, and will make himself available if anyone needs him.
--He needs to tune in more to Irvins show
--Appreciates the opportunity to come onto the show to talk to Mike
--He expects nothing short of the superbowl and greatness. He is training hard, has been working with his trainer in his new "Band workout gym". Been playing bball, cardio, dumbbells, He is in the best shape so far.
--tobands.com
--resistance bands, easy on the joints, 5-30 lbs of resistance
--Mike asked him if he is setting up for retirement. He said he isnt setting up for that because if he puts that in his mind, he would play as such.
--Enjoyed it.
