my local paper has a piece Id like to share ---When Bill Parcells says Terrell Owens has to show him something before he lets him play in a game, he is clearly referring to Owens recovery from his hamstring injury. But Owens response is just another indication that this Tuna-TO marriage is about to explode:"If he wants to see something, he has 10 years of film to go back and look on." This is getting good--- Ohboyoboy...am I looking forward to this!
This "marriage" made in hell is amusing the shit out of me. Nothing better than watching the Cowboys implode. :lol:
Report: Cowboys fine T.O. $9,500 for absences, tardiness August 27, 2006 IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Terrell Owens has finally pushed the Dallas Cowboys too far, drawing a $9,500 fine for missing a team meeting and a rehabilitation session and being late to an offensive meeting, The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday. "That's our club business. That's going to be accounted for," team owner Jerry Jones told the newspaper. The incidents occurred Friday, the team's final day preparing for a preseason game against San Francisco. The Cowboys beat the 49ers 17-7, making them 3-0 this preseason without Owens playing any of the games because of a hamstring injury that's also kept him out of 19 of 31 practices since the start of training camp. Neither team officials nor Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, immediately returned calls to The Associated Press seeking comment Sunday. During a postgame television interview, Jones did not mention the fine but answered several other questions about Owens. Jones said his only concern with the receiver is "injury, not all this other stuff you hear about." Owens' past is filled with run-ins with quarterbacks, coaches and others in his own organization. San Francisco and Philadelphia got rid of him, but the Cowboys welcomed him with open arms and a lucrative contract in March, four days after the Eagles released him. Owens vowed to be a better man and a better teammate in Dallas. While the fine is the most drastic, he already has done plenty to stand out. He missed much of the offseason training program -- with permission -- and turned his hamstring injury into an attention-getter by flying in specialists to help him rehabilitate and wearing a cycling team outfit one day while pedaling a stationary bicycle. After returning to practice for several days, coach Bill Parcells ruled him out of a Monday night game and Owens hasn't practiced since. He said he aggravated the injury because the club pushed him too hard. When Parcells said this week that he needs to see Owens on the field, T.O. responded that there's 10 years of tape to show what he can do. Jones seemed to downplay the drama surrounding Owens' injury by noting that Carolina's Steve Smith and Pittsburgh's Hines Ward also have been slowed by hamstring injuries without drawing the same scrutiny as Owens. He also recalled Deion Sanders' ability to play well after flying in from baseball games and missing long stretches of practice. "I know this -- when he's healthy, he's going to help us win these ballgames," Jones said. The Cowboys play their final preseason game Thursday night at home against Minnesota. The opener is Sept. 10 at Jacksonville.
C'mon release him!!!!!!!!!! that would be awesome I think TO would be done who the would want to sign him? It would be even better if he had to sign with a team for a veteran minimum.
thats funny...I know you are being sarcastic to the newbie...Owens epitomizes the Me$hawn era...I miss the days when players played for their teams....ahhhh remember it?...and I anxiously await Owens first real confrontation with the the most controling coach in football...God Bless him...His days with the Jets truly remade the teams psyche...and I am not going back to an SOJ miasma
Not really being sarcastic to you, just to anyone who would suggest that the negative press Terrell Owens gets is somehow exaggerated.
Don't even ask that question... there are plenty of ppl out there that would give an arm to sniff TO jock strap. :wink:
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The unravelling of "America's Team"...um... :auses momentarily to prevent upchuckery:: has begun. I want my husband know the pain I endure year after year when I see my beloved team crumble. Is that so wrong?
first of all...^^^^scary ass cat!!! if its TO vs Parcells i say TO wins, hes too athletic and Parcells is to old T.O. wins by knockout in round one
I had T.O. on my fantasy team last year. I was flying pretty high that first half of the year. Thank god I learned my lesson and took him AGAIN this year. Dammit.
