This is huge... in a bad way or in a good way....that is yet to be determined.... I say good.

[CLFalcon2006]

Hope yall cowboys enjoy that showboating *********. He'll do wonders for a year (I'd start praying yall win the superbowl now) but once he gets into that first offseason everything Tuna has built will go down the drain.

[CoveFan05]

Maybe Hell dance on the star again. LOL!!!! I had a feelin this was gonna happen when they released Keyshawn. Guess Jones thought they could never coexist. That woulda been one helluva receiving core, Owens, Johnson and Gleen

[RocklandDragon]

Has Terrell Owens turned over a new leaf? Will he bring the team together? Are his selfish days in the past?

Hey, are those swines flying in V-formation? Does the forecast for Hell show blizzard conditions?

I'm a Cowboys fan so I can only cross my fingers and hope the season doesn't go down the drain. That star episode still irks me. GRRRR!!!! :mad:

KLBK in Lubbock did have it right after all, huh? :eek:

It serves Jerry Jones right, maybe this incident will run him out of the state too. Man I'm pi**ed.

[VB Pack Fan]

They Will Be Sorry Later On...............:d

[TexasRed6x]

They Will Be Sorry Later On...............:d
They might be. I just hope that he doesn't an attitude like he did last season and demand a new contract. If I were Jerry Jones just pay him the big money he wants and tell him to shut up and play.

[Rebel84]

This bites more than anything! I will find it hard to go to any Cowboy games or buy any Cowboy hats/shirts or anything like that. Im with you Daniel, Im pi**ed!

[TexasRed6x]

I think that everybody is PO'ed because they think that TO might have another attitude like he had in Philly. I think that if they pay him the contract he wants, he might just play his game instead of whine. I don't know how much money Jerry Jones is willing to pay Owens but if it is enough TO may just go back to the way he was and play like the WR we all know.

[Favpack]

George Teague, the only Cowboy man enough to confront TO when he trampled on the Cowboy star in Texas Stadium several years ago, is apparently really pi**ed by the decision and is being vocal about it from what I've heard. Teague coaches somewhere in Texas.

Parcells may change his attitude. Just look what he did to Keyshawn after his attitude with Jon Gruden. Keyshawn was mad that he didn't give him the ball enough and when Keyshawn came to Dallas to play for Parcells he learned to be a better teammate.

Right now I think it is a toss up. TO is definetly have a bigger ego issue then Keyshawn did but that just means the bigger they are the harder they fall. Nobody can really change TOs mind or make him change and Parcells knows that. TO has to realize he must change.

[Firebird]

Let's see...

We haven't won a playoff game in this decade. Our number one qb is technically an immobile object with a good throwing motion. Our rb of the future can't play more than 3 or 4 games in a row without an injury. Our defensive secondary has 1 decent player. Both our owner and coach have tremendous, outsized egos, though neither one of them has won a super bowl in over 10 years.

Yeah, TO is just what the doctor ordered.

Hey,I`m a cowboys fan for life! Just dont threaten to not be a cowboys fan now that TO is on board,just jump off the wagon now!:D We will still have plenty of room for others!:D TO will kill the Eagles twice a year,and we can sure use that help to beat them again.....

It looks weird to see Owens' name on the back of a Cowboy jersey but I like it. I plan to get me one of those because I like the player that he is. He's a great WR that will put up big numbers for any team and he will make a big impact fo the Cowboys next season.

[dragons08]

he said he'll "honor the star" something like that..

[lonny23]

They might be. I just hope that he doesn't an attitude like he did last season and demand a new contract. If I were Jerry Jones just pay him the big money he wants and tell him to shut up and play.
That's all he wanted from Philly. He's the man in Dallas and will get paid if he plays good. Philly wanted him for cheap even though he gave his all to them and came back for the Super Bowl while injured. I don't condone his actions in Dallas, but I blame Philly for not paying him what he was worth. They were going to cut him after 2 years anyway.

[GoOwls]

All willl be forgotten and he will be the darling of Dallas after the first home touchdown catch and he runs to the Star and takes his helmet off and kisses it and then raises his arms triumphantly.

Yes........all will be forgiven as the yards and TD's add up. It's always been that way and this case is no different.

[Daniel Agnew]

Unless TO cures diabetes then I am not cheering for that man, I can't do it.

That would be funny,but he`ll get another penalty,just hope were winning by many points,because the Tuna may not be so forgiving!:)

How can you be forgiven of your sins,if you cant forgive him? Are we all that perfect that he should`nt be givin another chance? He was punished pretty severly last year,he paid his price! Time to move on,and beat some Eagles,Redskins,and Giants!:D

Its hard for me to believe that Parcells had much input either way on the decision to sign Terrell Owens, and that's the reason the Cowboys will have a hard time EVER returning to the level they were at when football men like Tex Schramm, Tom Landry, and Jimmy Johnson were calling the shots... (I realize Jones was there when Johnson was coach, but he didn't start meddling until AFTER the Cowboys were on top)

Considering his attitude was the very reason San Francisco & Philly let him go, Skip Bayless is right about him destroying Dallas(he will do it just watch) plus you see a man whining about a 7 year 49 million frickin dollar contract, hell give me that money if you think that's "underpaid", what makes you think he will honor his current contract.

Congrats on hitting 100 Daniel.

Anyone who understands football contracts knows he wasn't going to recieve 49 million dollars from that contract. The Eagles were going to get their cheap years out of him (the first 3) and cut him. Fact is, he wasn't going to be one of the top paid recievers in the league over those 3 years. Not saying how he went about his business was right but he did deserve more for money than what he was going to make as the best reciever in football.

Hold on, you just quoted Skip Bayless? All your credability has just flown out the window. Bayless is a over-selfpromoting creep in the first degree.

[Slim-Rob]

I guess now that he is a Cowboy I have to appreciate him. When he was an Eagle, I didn't like him.

I really feel like you do, but I cheer for the uniform, not the men in them. I couldn't stand him in S.F. and Philly, but he's one of us now, so I support him until he does something to warrant my ire........i.e., something that harms the uniform and the organization.

The goal of NFL franchises is generate revenues by selling tickets, licensing, and replica jerseys through winning... At this point in his career and with his track record, I don't see how Terrell Owens helps with any of that...

Now, unless you think Jerry Jones' football genius is way beyond eveyone else's, then I have to believe this was no more than an attention grabbing PR stunt because there just weren't NFL teams out there that thought this guys football ability was worth the risk it is to sign him, and I'm sure Jerry didn't pony up the $25 million because the guy deserved forgiveness...

[Dawg Fan]

I think its so ironic that the Cowboys passed up on drafting Randy Moss because he was considered a trouble maker and an attitude problem and they pick up owens. Hypocrisy at its finest:D :rolleyes:

Whoa there hold on junior, that's the only thing I have ever agreed with him on. On the rest of his show I agree with Woody Paige. The TO stuff is the only thing I have agreed with while the rest of the stuff I am with you on that deal. I do agree with some of the a holes viewpoints. But if I agreed with Molly Ivins, etc. etc., then I'll go shoot myself.

Plus I don't care about my credibility on a message board I am just having a good time here.

He's still a millionaire though I am not feeling sorry for him. You saw his press conferences in his front yard that looked like a nice little pad. Plus TO is like the pro players from the movie The Replacements.

[dada]

I LOVE IT...the Cowboys fans HATE him. It's gonna be hard to boo him when he starts putting up the numbers and torching Philly when the Cowboys play them. I'm going to love reading the "Cowboys Fans" post as the slowly come to love TO and contradict everything they said about him....:D

I wouldn't be shocked, the White Sox won last year & the Red Sox the year before. If Prior & Wood can stay healthy for a whole year that will be the key. But we need to take this convo to the Baseball board.

Its hard for me to believe that Parcells had much input either way on the decision to sign Terrell Owens, and that's the reason the Cowboys will have a hard time EVER returning to the level they were at when football men like Tex Schramm, Tom Landry, and Jimmy Johnson were calling the shots... (I realize Jones was there when Johnson was coach, but he didn't start meddling until AFTER the Cowboys were on top)
Parcells put up with LT, who was nowhere near a model citizen. Jimmy Johnson ran a zoo in Miami and Dallas. Both coaches want players who will play hard and they've both put up with a few guys who got out of line at times.

[lonny23]

Hell, that's why Jimmy Johnson left the team. He started to realize that Jerry wanted to control everything.
Jimmy wanted to leave before Jerry said stuff. Jimmy never stayed anywhere for very long. He always wants to do something else.

Not saying how he went about his business was right but he did deserve more for money than what he was going to make as the best reciever in football.
They were going to cut him after 2005 and 2 years. No, he wasn't going to get paid and the Eagles didn't bargain fairly. The NFL is not a regular job. If you're the best guy at work and the boss doesn't want to give you a raise, you can go someplace else. The NFL and all sports are high-paid slavery. You work for a set price for one person and can't get more money unless somebody is willing to renegotiate your contract. I'm all for teams being able to cut losses with unproductive players, but I also think they should give them a raise when they deserve it.

Skip is a hater. He's not a guy who's not politically correct. Skip is just a bitter man. Almost all of his articles are written to rain on somebody's parade. His latest work is about how Adam Morrison is not the next Larry Bird. As soon as they try to hype somebody, Skip has to write an article to bring them down. I've been listening to that guy for more than 20 years and he doesn't say much to be an objective journalist. Naturally, he doesn't like T.O. because he's not a forgiving person. His whole angle is to be mad and bitter at people and call it objective journalism.

You're right Lonny. Most of these youngstas don't even know that way back when, before he ever got on TV, he was a sports writer at the Dallas Morning News and the Dallas Times Herald. I remember reading his mess on a daily basis. Then, he went Hollywood and hit TV and wrote that book about the Landry years. I do not respect the guy. I do not like the guy. He is the king of over-selfpromoting. He will say anything to make a headline. You younger guys say he says the truth. He just says what you want to hear, bacause he knows most sports fans love the controversy. Don't take Bayless serious.......he's just using your emotions to make a buck.

He is easily the most hated sports writer/personality in Dallas because the older ones of us remember his antics. Shameful.:mad:

you won't be able to call me a hypocrite either. I have been on Owens's side the entire time. The guy got a raw deal in philly and became a scapegoat, when in actuality you cannot continue to low ball players like they do and be successful.

I'm with you. I read Bayless regularly on Page 2 at espn, and he is always hating. I can't remember the last time he wrote something positive. Even when earlier this season he was ranting about how much better USC was than Texas, he didn't stay positive, instead he talked about how much UT was overrated.

[GoOwls]

Damn I didn't know Bayless was in Dallas, how did that deal wind up going?

During the later Landry years, as the Cowboys were failing, Skip realized that the more he stirred up rumors and emotions, the more attention he got and the more papers that got sold. He also began to get attention from local radio and then national sports media. He wrote that shameful book about the Landry years and then he quit the Dallas papers completely and went national with writing and commentary on ESPN, etc. The rest is some pretty sad history, in my opinion. He is a shameful human being and it's unfortunate that only a few of us who were here in Dallas and saw his histrionics up close, know the truth about this idiot. The nation, in general, accepts him as legit and factual, when that couldn't be further from the truth.

I have to admire his understanding of human instincts though, he has surely used that knowledge to exploit the system to his own financial and professional benefit.

[Firebird]

I saw this quote on another site, it aptly sums up my feelings toward Bayless:

"The man would boo at the Special Olympics"

Actually, he wouldn't have the courage to do that. Instead, he would run a national smear story on the top medal winner at the Special Olympics.

[lonny23]

you won't be able to call me a hypocrite either. I have been on Owens's side the entire time. The guy got a raw deal in philly and became a scapegoat, when in actuality you cannot continue to low ball players like they do and be successful.
Those players notice stuff like that. When you lowball somebody like T.O., the rest of the NFL decides they want to play someplace else. You know some of T.O.'s teammates were mad they weren't going to give him the money. There will always be an element on the team of guys who are company guys who will back the team because they want to keep their own jobs and not rock the boat. Even the guys who were on the Eagles ide know T.O. was getting jyped, but they were looking out for themselves and not their teammate.

[lonny23]

Damn I didn't know Bayless was in Dallas, how did that deal wind up going?
He was in Dallas for most of the 80's and probably back into the 70's. He's been in San Jose for a while (and now on TV) and maybe he went to California when the Times Herald shut down sometime between 1991 and 1992. He might've gone to the Morning News after the Herald gave up.

[lonny23]

Even when earlier this season he was ranting about how much better USC was than Texas, he didn't stay positive, instead he talked about how much UT was overrated.
He's always talking about how somebody is overrated. KT2000 alluded to this one time, but it's true. They don't have sports journalism anymore where you report the news. Everybody has to make news now. They love rumors and completely make some up. They love to report bad news. Our media in general across all topics feel that they have to be negative to justify doing their job. Sometimes being a reporter means saying things are going well. The media always has a slant to make you feel a certain way to do what they want you to do. I mean, I try to get people to agree with me, but I'm not going to B.S. you while doing it.

Amen.:D

The dude is just predictable. I can create his stories based upon these possible scenarios.

Duke wins the NCAA tournament- Coach K isn't the greatest of all time.
Mark Martin wins the Nextel Cup- With Roush Racing, he should've done so much more.
Dallas Stars win the President's Trophy- Turco can't get it done in the playoffs.
Pistons clinch best record in the NBA- Saunders is a failure as a playoff coach.
Mavs win the Southwest Division- Avery is an unproven coach.
Spurs have homecourt throughout the playoffs- They sure are boring to watch.

Skip pulls out one of those stories at least once a month. Whenever it's time to vote for Hall of Fames, he always comes up with a story about who isn't that great.

[Firebird]

How about these titles for his next book:

"The Fraud on Ice: Why America's 1980 Hockey Team is NOT the Most Inspirational Sports Story of All Time"

"Inglorious Road: The Texas Western Miners Don't Deserve Their Place in the Sports Pantheon"

"Babe Ruth, Major League Baseball's Strikeout King"

Yeah I agree with you Dawg. He gets really annoying real quick and i have to switch channels everytime he speaks because he is so annoying.

Now all you COWBOY fans who talked so bad about Owens can now start to cheer for him now that your beloved team has signed him!!:rolleyes:

They did sign Vanderjagt, now they have to fix that OLine.

Yup that is the only hole to fill left.

I think a tackle will be their first draft pick. Don't be surprised if Winston Justice, Eric Winston, or Marcus McNeil wind up there.

[lonny23]

There are other holes to fill. Oh, you're talking about the Cowboys!:o

[TexasRed6x]

Yeah. Who did you think I was talking about?

[dragonfootballfan]

they still need help in the secondary and a couple of linebackers

Yeah they may go after Ohio State safety Donte Whitner.

There sure are some holes to fill. Would`nt it be nice if some how dallas could get one of the top 3 QBs in this upcomming draft,and learn under Bledsoe:D ...I can hope:p ! Bigger things have happened before, like when Dallas got Tony Dorsett, that was a shocker!

I don't know if Seattle will give up a top pick to Dallas again. I remember when Ron Essink got traded from Seattle to Dallas for a pick and then retired. I guess that was the Seahawks way of getting back at Dallas.

Jerry Jones is strongly attracted to players like T.O. mainly for the reason to sell tickets. T.O. is a perfect fit for the Jerry Jones era Dallas Cowboys.

Seattle never has got back at Dallas for getting Dorsett. For that matter, Dallas got Seattle by giving them Brian Bosworth!:p

Yeah but I don't think I will do that since it would make me look stupid.
