The Dallas Cowboys Release Terrell Owens
Michael Smith reported it first so he gets the shine. Honestly? I would take him in a minute. The Eagles franchise is at a crossroads so let’s get it. Donovan needs a receiver who will stretch the field. Dude has 139 touchdowns (2nd most all time)! I want Anquan Boldin first, then Chad Johnson, then Terrell Owens and finally Marvin Harrison. What do you think? Where do you think he’ll go?
Matthew…..”Michael Baisden is now on TSF as RonGlover.”
ROFLMAO!!!!
Matthew:
I think that’s just it. They took the high road because they don’t have another level. That next level is a place where either you LIVE or you don’t. McNabb and Romo don’t live there. Rivers does. I know that if Rivers is HALF the SAG I think he is, he wouldn’t hesitate for half a second to tell TO or Norv or the GM or anyone else to kiss his ass half way around the moon.
That’s why I think it works.
You cannot convince a Sag to take the high unless there is a plan that they’ve bought into — and the plan better work because they analyzing it every step of the way. The 49ers tried to convince TO that the team could win with Garcia running the ship — and TO basically said — this is going nowhere because Garcia has lost the locker room. If you take D’s word for it on SOMM, the situation with the Eagles probably came to an end over the loot. Maybe TO bitched up because he felt Mac5 didn’t have his back in contract negotiations (or something like that). The O-line didn’t throw McNabb under the bus for the SB incident, but TO did. I don’t recall the timeline, but I feel the 2 may be connected. In either case, that was a potentially record-setting combination.
This most scenario is just a mess all around. No saints here…just pa-dussy whipped dudes in Cabo; weird ass crying in press conferences; and Jerry’s ass getting old and dowdy and hood-winked into releasing his best offensive player.
You know I ain’t lyin’, Miranda! Man, I wish I could be a guest on that show. LOL
Matthew Fudge,
LMAO!!!
“Michael Baisden is now on TSF as RonGlover.”
LMAO……too funny!!!!
Just make sure y’all remember this post when you finally see me on his show. Got enough wisdom after six years of marriage to put my 2 cents in.
Temple,
I feel stupid asking this question, but what’s a SAG?
it’s short for sagittarian…
Got it. That’s my one Special Ed moment for the day.
My wife’s a SAG. Don’t know how I missed that.
LOL.
It’s all good — so you know how Sag’s can be. Funny thing — TO and Larry Bird have the same birthday. How do you think Bird would have handled Tony Romo going to Cabo during the playoffs? How do you think he would have handled his admission that he didn’t work as hard as Bird? How would he have handled coaches like Jason Garrett working with one foot out of the door and another in Ed Werder’s car.
I was born four days before that — and most folks I know would have gone flaming embers all over the place.
“Maybe TO bitched up because he felt Mac5 didn’t have his back in contract negotiations (or something like that).”
It would’ve been nice if McNabb had T.O.’s back during contract negotiations, but he wasn’t obligated to do so. Don’t know why he’d get upset over that. Then again, this is T.O. we’re talking about.
Exactly. Don’t know that it would have made much difference anyway. Most of this never happens if he goes to Baltimore.
I agree with you Temple and Matthew TO acted like a straight up bi^%h over that contract. I still believe he would have acted a fool in Baltimore.
Have you guys seen Kyle Bowler play. After hanging TO short arm going across the middle @ss a few times and over throwing him. TO would have eventually snapped.
Then Ray Ray would have had to whip his @ss.
Look I have no sympathy for TO when it comes to philly. The union told that fool not to sign that philly contract. Nope but the fool wouldn’t listen.
The thing with TO is that he wants the spot light and the loot. Which is cool, but as soon as times get hard he wants to throw folks under the bus and deflect the blame. I have seen that fool drop passes left in right here in Dallas. Yet he wants to deflect the attention and still be the man.
But he is a scapegoat for a busta @ss owner, busta turnover machine QB and a super busta 0 and a million in the playoffs coach.
As well as being a scapegoat for these clown @ss busta cowboys fans who want to look the other way when Romo @ss messes up. (I am not talking to you TSF cowboys fans).
In this City Romo and Dirk get so many passes it sick.
On a side note I would advise TO that if he plays for one of the golden boy QBs he can expect to be a scapegoat again in another year or 2.
Look a here Mizzo even that bum Palmer got a WR in Coles. So let me see the golden boy loses a WR in TJ but gets another one. Only in the NFL where the golden boy QBs get WR stimulus packages over and over again.

Dang Origin…..but you aint lying.
Anybody else see this?

The bottom line with TO, to me, seems to be that since he left San Fran, all of the teams in the NFL that have won SBs have managed to do so without him. Therefore, were I a coach or GM, no way I would roll the dice with him when I see other teams doing just fine without his admittedly unique, mercurial talents.
I challenge anyone reading this to think of their H.S. or college coaches—the successful ones, the men and women who have put folk into professional leagues— tolerating merely just what we, the casual fans, observe in the form of TO’s sideline antics, antics which we all know for being just the tip of the iceberg.
The coaches I’ve played under would have bounced TO in a minute, relegating him to PLS (Play Ground Legend Status) or the ASL (All-Headcase Streetclothes League). He would have joined the ranks of those great Detroit athletes who were can’t-miss-pro-prospects, but couldn’t quite keep it together. Those coaches willed their teams to victory by commanding unquestioned loyalty and respect for themselves as well as the game.
TO, merely with his sideline antics, not only has ZERO respect for the game, but also alarmingly reveals that his head is no longer in the game when he goes off on one of his rants/tirades. When he and others on the sideline should be watching games to, perhaps, figure out what the other teams are doing, he is going off as though someone replaced his Lithium with a tic tac. When he breaks the concentration of those around him, he hinders input for adjustments that often players point out to coaches as a game progresses.
T3, I can relate to your seeking to somewhat justify the inner workings of a fellow SAG (or can I say ‘SADGE’ cuz it rhymes with ‘badge’ and ‘Madge’) just as I do with a fellow Cancerian like Iron Mike Tyson, but TO’s inability to control his outbursts despite millions of dollars being on the line is indicative of a very real, deep-seated problem.
Sorry but count me as a TO non-apologist because he remains in dire need of psychotherapy.
True Burundi I think he just needs a good @ss whopping.
Sista Miranda I just had to speak the truth the NFL is a total joke. As far as Terri Upshaw, how much did Goodell pay her to say that?
“Most of this never happens if he goes to Baltimore.”
Temple, if T.O. had lost his act-right in B-more, Ray would’ve gotten in that a—-. Betcha T.O. would’ve found it then.
Origin: That has TO made it as far as he’s had suggests that his outbursts might be due to some adult onset disorder. I doubt if an a** whuppin’ would help and, I think that Ray would have gotten him bounced really quickly when it wouldn’t have worked.
TO’s behavior had me re-thinking his alleged “accidental overdose (suicide attempt)”. I think that the league should step in and treat his behavior as an illness and preclude him from playing sans treatment. His extreme behavior should not be the responsibility of other players beyond what’s normally reasonable. While I’m no doctor, the problem to me seems to be that we live in a society that doesn’t want to really confront mental illness because it’s scary.
“How do you think Bird would have handled Tony Romo going to Cabo during the playoffs? How do you think he would have handled his admission that he didn’t work as hard as Bird?”
Temple, Bird wasn’t feeling Kevin McHale because he didn’t think McHale took basketball as seriously as he did. If he had teammates like T.O. or Romo, they’d have fought already.
Origin, why did I say the exact same thing after I read that article?? Who they fooling? If ever there was a set up story, that “I just found the file in Gene’s office and I dont think Troy Vincent should be the NFLPA chief” story is one.
Yeap exactly Miranda you know the fix is in. Everyone and their momma knew that Troy Vincent was the next dude in line to take upshaw’s position.
See Goodell and the owners know that Vincent isn’t going to play all nice with them like upshaw. And don’t be surprised if the league giving upshaw’s wife some of her husbands pension kick backs. Cause if the league can pull strings to not pay hundreds of veterens their pension they can do the same to Ms. Upshaw.
Anyway TO signs with the bills one year 6.5 million. This is probably his last stop at 35 (will be 36 in Dec). I’m happy for the dude to be able to get a contract and that was smart of him to go to buffalo. There is less media there. Only beef I have is that no black QB was able to get him…..typical NFL. Dang not even David Garrard another year of throwing passes to a busta crack head WR. Oh well thats how it goes in the NFL.
http://www.realgmfootball.com/src_wiretap_archives/11236/20090307/source_owens_signs_with_bills/
Yep, its been crystal clear that there was a fix in on Troy Vincent from the beginning. There have been these strange leaks and rumors put out about him from “sources” and I swear, if he is not elected the NFLPA chief then the players deserve whatever pimping they get from the owners and Goodell because it makes NO DAMN SENSE for the union to be manipulated this way and its OBVIOUS.
Oh…wonder what the talking heads will do now? T.O. was without a team for all of…..a day? What happened to the “no team wants him except maybe Oakland”?? LOL
Yeah Miranda…..and the Bills was one of the teams that were on that long list of teams who supposedly didn’t want him, right?
Yeah GN, according to Kornheiser on PTI, there were 30 NFL teams who didn’t want TO. Guess Buffalo was one of the two that did. Don’t know how this signing will work for the Bills’ W-L but Ralph Wilson is the definition of crotchety so it’ll be interesting to see how he and Owens get along.
2Face…..
I was listening to Drew Rosenhaus say that there were 3 or 4 teams who were interested. For some strange reason, I kinda believe him.
I look for him to do good next season. When T.O. makes his transition to a new team, he always have a good first year. I think he’ll have around 80 catches, 1200 yards and 11 TDs.
Well T.O. got paid. 1 yr in this situation is a good deal. He will go to Buffalo, play hard and leave if he wants to after 1 season. I’d take it. He’s so strong. I think he still has a couple good years left in him.
Why are people so certain that Ray Lewis could beat up TO?
“It’s a serious job. And you need a serious person with the experience and the background to do the job that’s needed.’ ”
Women of TSF, please pardon the language… but this bitch is saying that Vincent don’t have the experience to be exec director of the plantation field hands in the league? Sounds like a hatchet job to me. Any way Upshaw was a made man, for the Mafia under Don Goodall along time ago!
