I do not doubt that he is the premier reciever in the NFL but he is a cancer that destroys every lockerroom that he enters. There is nothing that you can teach me about football. It is about more than what happens on the field. Maybe you need the book.

[Old Tiger]

I'm gonna agree with the Chief somewhat. TO is what the Cowboys need.

Terrell Owens replaces the talented yet outspoken Keyshawn Johnson

Owens brings a new meaning to the term 'Big D'
March 18, 2006
By Clark Judge
CBS SportsLine.com Senior Writer


Good night and good luck.

So the Dallas Cowboys will do the predictable and sign on controversial wide receiver Terrell Owens. Now I know what Big D stands for.

Dumb. Dumber. Dumbest.



You don't add a Terrell Owens without running a terrible risk, and Dallas just took the plunge. Sure, Owens makes the Cowboys a better football team for one year. He's one of the top pass-catchers in the game, and he more than fills a void left by the departure of Keyshawn Johnson.

Plus, I guarantee he's on his best behavior this season to prove he's not the villain he's made out to be.

But then what? Well, check his history, and it's not hard to imagine what happens next. He was thrown out of San Francisco, and he was thrown out of Philadelphia -- and both times after sabotaging the club and blow-torching the quarterback.

[injuredinmelee]

You cant control a show clown and that is what TO is. Everyone thought he would be better in Philly because he wanted to play with McNabb. We all saw how good that worked out. He has verbally run down teammates and done nothing but cause trouble. I hated jerry Jones when he let the piece of crap Leon Lett come back after a year drug suspension and I hate him even more for signing the hemmorroid that is Terrel Owens. Sure the boys will win a few more games but TO does not make them a Super bowl contender just by stepping on the field.

Actually, in this case it does, since the Cowboys always play on Thanksgiving.

[sicem74]

pisses me off

[football4life]

I think this is great. Could it backfire?? Most definitely. But just think of the possibilities! Owens would oppen up every part of the cowboys' offense. No 8 man fronts for Julius to deal with, no double teams on terry glenn, who could go deep even more, and then Owens himself to make big plays when needed. If the O-line stays intact, then there's no reason for the cowboys not to be a major contender.

[Old Tiger]

People can't think about what MIGHT happen you got to think about what you are getting. A guy who can score 10+ touchdowns a year and over a thousand yards recieving.

[Maroon87]

I wonder how long it will take TO to tell the world that Bledsoe sucks?:thinking:

[STANG RED]

Like the article says, he will be on his best behavior his first year, but after that, watch out. ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE!!!
You cant argue with history boys. TO is most definitely a cancer. He will just go into remission for a year, get everybody's hopes up, give a false since of security, then he'll drop the same, tired ole TO bomb. I just cant believe everybody cant see this! Wake up to reality people!!!

Nope, I just cant do it. But I figure the TO experiment will be over in a couple of years or so. I'll just try my best to ignore them for that long, and maybe I'll check em out again once the dust settles. That is, if there is anything left to check out.

best move the cowboys have ever made, to is so explosive it's scary,

people have to give Jerry credit for bringing him it, he will give the cowboys what they need to get to the playoffs.

everyone has always bashed Jerry J. but i believe that he is the most dedicated and smartest owner in the NFL. stop hating on him and give him credit for bringing in this beast of a talent, TO is a machine that can't be stopped by anyone expect for himself,

way to go Jerry, you made us all proud

until next time........

[3afan]

i just jope TO's contract has protection built in for the team just in case ..........

Dreadfully stupid move by the Cowboys to sign this KNOWN puke thug punk. Trouble is his middle name and he will become an anchor around their necks. Wasting millions on a P.O.S. like t.o. is like flushing it down the crapper.

Just trying to lift your spirits man...it's not like he got busted for DWI is it????

[District303aPastPlayer]

other than be a side show, has he done anything Sosa/Bond/Leon Lett-ish... NO... the guy can flat out play... i aint a cowboy fan, but man this can only be good if the Tuna can control his ego.

[shankbear]

So if all those punks can do it and get away with it because they are good, then we just keep on supporting those who keep allowing the idiots on the field. The NFL, NBA and MLB are all spineless organizations that are scared to confront these cretins and do something about it. Professional sports as a whole are a joke.

[Eagle6Man]

Shank man...you are preachin to the choir dude.....

Here's what I do know....
I been supporting the Cowboys for 46 years now....I guess I've seen everyone of their games...well, with the exception of Super Bowl X (Dang Jim O'brien)

I have 2 choices.

1) Stop watching the NFL all together, or

2) Keep supporting my Cowboys.........

I can't root against em...too much good history.


So, HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!!!!!!

[Leopards,class of 75]

I am not a T.O. fan myself. But I do know he is a play maker and I hope he can make the Cowboys a playoff contender.

Cowboys are already selling TO jerseys. I guess I will have to get one to go next to my Michael Irvin jersey.

If TO plays as part of the TEAM, it will be a good thing for the Cowboys. If the same old "I don't get the ball enough blah blah" TO shows up, it could be detrimental to the TEAM.

TO's contract is a year to year contract which means the Cowboys can cut/release him whenever they feel like without having to buyout the entire contract. They would only have to pay TO for that particular year. Basically the Cowboys took a gamble with 5 million on TO which these days in the NFL isnt all that risky.

[Old Tiger]

I liked the way Jerry Jones explained "the gamble"

Of course he'll be fine as long as they are winning. Why wouldnt he be? That proves nothing! Its easy to behave when everything is going wonderful.

[Matthew328]

here is the thing with T.O....w/o T.O and with Keyshawn Dallas is a mediocre team....9-7 or 10-6 at best........with T.O I believe Dallas can contend in a mediocre NFC.....they have a 1 or 2 year window to make something happen with this current group....its a big gamble but I think its worth it....

[Old Tiger]

Cowboys should draft a reciever or linebacker. Ernie Sims could slip to the 18th spot an so could the linebacker from Iowa. Chad Jackson might be available. He is a special athlete at reciever.

TO brings automatic double teams to the field. You can't take a DB away and not replace him with someone.

I dont disagree with you. I think TO's impact will make the Cowboys a contender.

If ESPN was smart they would open their monday night season with Dallas at Philly. That would be a ratings explosion for them.

Trust me I hated TO as much as anyone until the Cowboys signed him. My brother in law is a SF fan so that just makes it that much better because he was a big TO fan until the Cowboys signed him. Reminds me of when they signed Deion.

Deion is the best lockdown corner in NFL history

[STANG RED]

All of this proves exactly what I have always believed about Jerry Jones. He would make a deal with, and sell his soal to the devil if he thought it would benefit him in the short run. It shows a complete lack of moral character in my mind. I cant believe some of you guys cant see anything wrong with that. Making a deal with the devil should never be a viable option, no matter what the short term rewards could be. This is even worse really, because those short term rewards are not even a guarantee in this deal. This will certainly bring the Cowboys no new fans at all, but will most certainly cost them many, me included. And since fans are money, I fail to see how this is a positive move.

Jerry Jones didnt make a deal with the devil, he made a deal with the best receiver in the league.

So are you saying Chad Johnson or any reciever who just wants to earn his money the devil? I listened on the NFL network to Keyshawn Johnsons comments on him being released. He said if the Cowboys want to pay him a million a year that he will give them what they pay for him(30 plays). Those were his words. So could be the devil to? That is just the attitude of recievers no matter how humble they are they want their money and their catches.

You think it is about the money? Hell, I dont have any problem with the money. I never even mentioned the money. The problem is with that sorry sob TO and the way he acts and thinks he is above a contract, his team, his teamates, his coach, the NFL, and generally everyone on the face of the planet. He is a proven piece of crap of a human being and should be treated as such, instead of being rewarded for it. Why cant you people see that???

The NFL is all about the money and to talk about another human being like that further lets me know what kind of person you are.

[Old Tiger]

I'm not going to ignore it but if your going to post stuff about a person saying he is "proven piece of turd" That is not cool at all, the man has a wife and kids of his own. He has done more in his life than you probably have. You don't know him personally you can not make comments like that on a guy. You are not in the Cowboy organization and have no say in what happens. The Cowboys will do what's best for the Cowboys and if they think TO is the best for their team then he must be. True Cowboy fans should be excited to have this kind of reciever come in. Forgit about the "Star" that was in the past he is now going to embrace the star just like Emmitt did as TO said in his interview.

To me the deal is worth it.....Dallas has a 1 or 2 year window...the deal is 3 years....I bet he lasts 2 of the 3 years...the name of the game is winning...as a cowboys fan I'd rather see Dallas make a play at T.O and have shot to make some noise in 2006...yeah he may implode and the team goes 4-12 or something...but in today's NFL I'd rather be 4-12 than 8-8 which is what Dallas woulda been if they kept Keyshawn...

I keep having this nagging thought though that maybe Time Out is going to Dallas just to get revenge against the Iggles. With his snake of an agent spinning whatever TO wants him to say this can be plausible. It also would be a sign of his "growing up" recently being null and void. I hope Parcells can straighten him out like he did Keyshawn but I have my serious doubts. Now considering he didn't apologize when asked about the Star celebrations from five years ago the evidence points to my suspicions saying he hasn't "become a better man". Twenty years ago and before, someone like Jerry would never have considered signing someone like TO because the fans would have stopped buying tickets to see a person who defiled the STAR. Standards aren't what they used to be and ppl really do forget, all in the name of winning... sad.
I don't think Dallas truthfully needs Time Out to become a contender, they have a great, young core of defenders that was fun to watch. They needed O-line help first to protect Bledsoe and open lanes for their three decent RBs. The ability of TO to stretch the field might help but is no guarantee of success.
.
I am somewhat excited about Owens becoming a Cowboy, but it's kinda like finding a $100 bill in your church's parking lot,
you want to keep it but you know you're gonna go to hell if you do...

What kind of questing is this? Everyone is for a team, not an individual player. They brag and talk highly of a player until he leaves the team. Then all they talk about is how that player didn’t contribute anymore ECT…ECT… It’s the opposite for a player joining the team. Before everyone dislikes him, now everyone will be defending his actions as long he helps bring a win for the team.

I have always been a Dallas fan, but the past few years just haven't been "fun" for me.....I think TO is a piece of crap too, but I do have to admit after hearing the news, I am more excited about the upcoming season than I have been in a long time.

I really don't think I will be going to hell for it though!!:p

dallas fans are no different than any other fans of any team on the planet ...

Dallas can continue their slide into oblivion by signing such losers as t.o. This punk puke thug is no better the randy moss, mike ervin and all the rest. Why throw good money after bad? Why make a once great and proud organization into one that is tainted by such slimebags. They will hate the day they ever signed such a malcontent.

My guess is that you're happy with the current team and it's horrid record.

But as long as they have "nice guys" everything is okay. :rolleyes:

Cowboys had felons on the team, what makes what TO has done any worse than being a felon?

Why throw good money away? 5-time Pro Bowl receiver that has 716 catches for 10,535 yards and 103 touchdowns, including two rushing scores, in 10 seasons.

If they go to the super bowl you know you will have your Dallas TO jersey and hat on.

[SintonFan]

I'm not speaking for everyone but...
what t.o. did to my STAR was a felony. The shock value is still active and effective even today. On Owe-mee's own website this stunt is still ranked higher than his "sharpie" pull. That says something.
But then again, I'm a Spur's fan. I guess sometimes it is OK to have good guys win it all. When they do, we just say they are boring and make excuses for the "bad guys". lol When's the last time the Raiders took it all with their wonderful character to back them up.
BTW, I have been a big Dallas Mav fan for some time. Now that the little general is there, I think they are contenders. He wins by character not characters.:)

[NateDawg39]

I was at the mall and everyone was in the Cowboys store asking for #81 jerseys!!! He is making sells go up hardcore....duh

[spiveyrat]

I'm NO TO fan... not in the least. I'm not a Jerry Jones fan, I didn't like the reputation of the 90's 'Boys as felons, I didn't even like the Deon at first, I hated how the Cowboys of the '80's, well, ...sucked. But I've always been a fan. I think you who are swearing off the entire Cowboys team because of this acquisition were never real Cowboys fans in the first place. Being a true fan is like a marriage... "in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health". ;) :D

Go Cowboys! :clap:

I totally disagree. The cowboys had to know that many of the old time cowboy faithfuls like myself would be appauled by this aquisition, and yet they went ahead with it anyway, without any reguard to us. They were the ones that threw it out the window, not us. IMO they have just put the cherry on top of defileing the once greatest franchise in the NFL. I have been disgusted with much of what has transpired with the organization over the past 10 to 15 years, but still stuck by them through it, but this is the final straw. What little respect I had for Jerry Jones is now gone, and since he is the one calling the shots, rooting for the cowboys equates to rooting for Jerry Jones, and I cannot do that.
Who was it that said?:
"You have to stand for something, or you will fall for anything"
I dont know off hand who said it, but it has always been one of my favorites, and I try to live my life by it.
I know this little thing with the cowboys is just a trivial matter when compared to truley important things in life, but when you start compromising on the little things, it opens the door to compromise to more important things IMO. I dont think anybody (me included) is going to really lose any sleep if I dont root for the cowboys anymore.

[spiveyrat]

I'm appalled too. But I'll still root for 'em!

Go Cowboys!

[Bullaholic]

I maintain my original position. I don't like the signing, but I will reserve judgement to see how long the "reformed" T.O. lasts. Such actions by JJ should not surprise anyone---he is the ultimate "prostitute" when it comes to money and winning.

AMEN to that!

[NateDawg39]

I think everyone is worrying over nothing...T.O will make the boys better, and the Boys will make T.O better. If not then I will resign my love of the Cowboys and go back to the Falcons:D

I was always a Real Fan of the Real Cowboys, win or lose.

The Real Cowboys, were owned by Clint Murchison, managed by Tex Schram, and coached by Tom Landry.

Where was the sainted Tex Schram & Tom Landry when Hollywood Henderson was snorting cocain on the sidelines?

I'm not fan of TO, but he's not a criminal. The Cowboys have had honest to goodness criminals on their teams in the past even when Landry was here. Were you saying the same thing then?

Certainly, everyone has the right to their opinion on this deal, but let's all be intellectually honest here. If you don't like TO, that's fine, but don't act like he's the worst human being the Cowboys have ever had on this team. Because that would be completely false.

As I recall, Henderson was fired during the 1979 season. He wasn't the first player to be let go because he couldn't get his act together.
Now, tell us of when the "old regime" under Schram and Landry, held a press conference announcing the signing of a THEN KNOWN trouble maker, and I'll gladly cede your point.

you didn't have free agency back in the "old regime", so players couldn't move from one team to another.

He's exactly right, Stang.

I don't remember the details of why Henderson was let go, but my point remains. The Cowboys have never been the saints that eveyone wants to remember them. They had troubled dudes, also. In fact, some guys that did much worse things off the field than TO.

Not to beat a dead horse, but add Lance Rensel, Rafaiel Septien, & Duane Thomas to that list of old Cowboys regiem troublemakers.
