He's a truly gifted talent, but you do take a certain risk in signing him. Too much risk, imo for a guy who might touch the ball 5 or 6 times a game.

I'm sure TO has paid off enough short of a SB for Jerry to be happy. Romo wouldn't have risen to his current status just throwing to Patrick Crayton and Terry Glenn and/or had they kept Keyshawn ::shudders:: And the Cowboys wouldnt have been as good (ie made as much money) if not for TO the past 2-3 years.

Oh I understood, don't worry. But AJ and TO are extremely similar players. TO's a bit "bigger", but they both have similar skillsets. Blazing fast, both big receivers, go over the middle, can block if needed, downfield threats. TO's got the track record but I just love having a guy like Andre who doesn't attention-whore it up, and hopefully he won't.

As for this Owens saga, just another annoying thing on the airwaves at this point.

I noticed that quote just like I also noticed the last part of that quote-"Team T.O vs Team Romo". Sounds almost exactly like the samething that went on in Philly except his opponent(s) was Team McNabb. Anyway I did also notice a recurring trend that for some reason has followed him from Philly to Dallas now:

Quote:

But as I listened to this, all I could think about is a sign Big Bill hung near the locker room upon his arrival: "Losers assemble in little groups and bitch about the coaches and the system and other players in other little groups. Winners assemble as a team."

But T.O is the "victim" and has done no harm.

I don't see how you could come to that conclusion. But to each his own I guess. Nor do I see how you conclude they made more money because they had him.

But does TO create it, or does it appear because others surrounding him create it?

The press creates these fiascos. Owens said the Eagles would be better off w/Favre instead of McNabb. But who said that in the first place? Michael Irvin of ESPN. Then they ask TO about what Irvin said. He makes the "walk like a duck" comment about Garcia, but who asked him about Garcia's sexual orientation in the 1st place? He works out in his front yard. Did TO force reporters, camera men & helicopters to watch him do sit-ups?

They are very similar players. Although at this point in their careers, there's no doubt in my mind AJ is the superior player. The Texans got a real steal in AJ, you can thank Matt Millen.

What? The article or the author was placing blame on everybody in this: Jones, Phillips, and Owens.

She intentionally titled her article something catchy with T.O. in it for the sake of generating interest when she, herself, stated she doesn't think he's to blame.

As for that quote....wouldn't it apply more to Terrence Newman in this article given his statements?

Seriously man....you're searching to lay this at T.O.'s feet and the evidence just isn't there......yet.
