Tom Jackson is a cowboy hater and anti- T.O.

[tsumma]

is anyone else with me when I say Tom Jackson is a pure cowboys hater, and he will say anything he can to discredit T.O. i'm sick of him always running down the boys.

I know he does not like TO but I don't think he is a Cowboy hater or a Cowboy lover.

I have actually never seen him hate on the boys, just TO...which is understandable.

 

[JPM]

It's ESPN, who gives a rat's-a what he says about Dallas.
Though Jackson does have a serious man-crush on McNabb.

Count me in on the TJackson is a TO hater. Although I don't think he's a Cowboy hater. I know he likes Parcells. But as we know, TO makes it easier for these guys to pile on him.

Jackson is still bitter about the shellacking Denver took in SB XII...

Agreed. And can you blame him.

He said at the beginning of the season "With TO it's ALWAYS something."

And he is correct.

Exactly...He has no beef with the Cowboys but Tom Jackson is old school and he wants the game to be represented the right way and T.O. is definitely not old school.

He like the Cowboys but he hates T.O. and to be honest I dont blame him. He is objective in his opinion that this guy is the worst teammate in NFL history and basically tell it like it is. I challenge you guys to listen to his radio rant on the spitting icident they have as a video on espn.com. (it on the first page to the right where they list the video and media clips)

He basically dogs T.O. and tells you why.

Personally I think there is no way that Parcells brings T.O. back next season and if Parcells retires there is no way you can ask a coach to put up with the media frenzy that will surround T.O. next season coupled with the presence of a new coach.

Too much! But for now we have to ride or die with him till February. GO T.O. and Go Cowboys!

Nope, you're pretty much out on that limb alone. TJ has nothing against Dallas, but does have a problem w/TO, with obvious reason.

It's ALWAYS something with every individual. If you scrutinize everyone's daily lives they have warts. What if every little white lie that you told or every mean thing you said or every time you were late for work, etc, etc, etc was displayed on national television. It would likely appear that there is ALWAYS something wrong with you.

I hope the weather is nice up there on your high horse.

No one is on their high horse TO is an idiot who brings this crud on himself and for you to blame the media for this is ridicules.

 

[Maikeru-sama]

Yeah yeah yeah.

ESPN and the Media in general hates the Cowboys.

Weird how they, the media are constantly hiring Ex-Cowboys and putting them in cush positions as well.

Novacek, Aikman, Johnston, Irvin, Sanders, Woodson, Waters etc etc.

Sure they are.

oh, not anymore so than getting sick of people who think the media should love the cowboys because they do.

Here go the "you're criticizing TO therefore you must be self righteous" retorts.

While it is true that every individual has warts, it is not true that every individual flags down a camera and starts to tell the world about his warts, tries to one-up otherd in print and in the media and tries to draw extra attention to themselves by the way they practice, play and celebrate an accomplishment.

And that is why TO gets this type of treatment. TO seeks out the media as much as the media seeks out TO.

He complains about other teammates in the media.

He took the TD celebration to another level.

He seems to have this uncanny ability to share his problems in the national spotlight.

Therefore, he is going to get duly criticized when he messes up.

Furthermore, with respect to THIS issue, no, not every player spits on another player. Emmitt didn't do it. Elway didn't do it. Favre didn't do it. LT (the current player) didn't do it.

So please spare me the "there's always something with everyone" line.

Not everyone is seeking the attention that TO seems to so desperately crave.

 

[MC KAos]

he just detests TO, not the cowboys, he usually picks ware as his defensive difference maker or whatever. It might be because of his man crush on mcchoke that he hates TO so much, but i dissagree that he hates the cowboys as a whole

 

[theogt]

Sheesh, you don't even know if he spit on him intentionally or not. I guess high horses allow people to declare facts without actual knowledge and dole out punishment without actual authority.

 

[tyke1doe]

The "high horse" argument is the trump card of minimizers.

They seem to think because all people have faults no one is allowed to comment on the faults of others.

Of course, that's practically unrealistic and is simple-minded at best.

If that were the case, we'd have NO rules because no one would be able to live up to those rules and, thus, there would be no need to devise rules because human imperfection would rule that out.

Those who adopt this line of thinking really show that they have little ability to distinguish between actions and really are saying that no one should be held responsible for any of their actions since no one is perfect.

But, as I've stated, that's impossible not to mention impractical.

 

[conner01]

i don't know about being a cowboy hater but he certainly hates t.o. and i can see where lots of people hate t.o.
what i think is funny is how they gush all over merriman and rarely even mention his steroid use.
which is a bigger deal, using steroids, or being an idiot like t.o.
i'll take the idiot over the cheater every time
