Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
Football is about winning. Plain and simple. Only a fool would pass on one of the best players in the league because of a years-old grudge over him celebrating on your precious star.Owens will be on his best behavior and out to prove something this year. Now, next year is another story. But win now and worry about next year next year.
Yay for Drew !! He's a class guy. Its become chic to bag on him but he's one of the greats. I've always liked him also.No being a football fan is about believeing in something. Being proud of the history and heritage of ones team and being with them through good times and bad. It is not about selling out tradition to whore oneself to a ####head like Owens. At least it is not for most fans, Cowboy fans I can't speak for as they have always seemed to me anxious to become the Yankees of football. A team that wants to buy tradition rather than to win it on a even playing field. This marriage has been coming ever since they sold out Landry. Just more in a decade and a half of disgrace whose smell can not be covered up by the bought and paid for championships they have gotten.IMO

Yea, SF's record dropped horribly after TO left, but you are assuming that TOs departure is the only contributing factor. You do not take into account injuries, front office, coaching changes, etc.As for Philly, they finished 1st the season before TO got there with a 12-4 record. TO only improved their record by one game to 13-3 his first year. By the time TO was suspended in his second season, they were already 4-3. I wouldn't say that that is an improvement.How did that work out in the win column for them?I know the guy's got skills, but the last two teams he was with knew he had skills and still chose to be without him that to put up with his bull####. I'd love to see the specifics of the deal.
I'm not much of a Cowboy fan, but I'm definatelyon this one.
How do you really feel?It really comes down to two questions.
#2 - Make mistake I believe Owens will help Dalas. Not to a Superbowl, but he will help.#1 - I never want to win so badly that I'd whore myself. That Jones and Parcells do is obvious and sickening. Back when the man in the hat was in charge I respected the Cowboys and the tradition they established. Now they are a embarassment.
I have to say that in the years that I have been on this board I don't know if I have ever seen a more fitting animation.But seriously, all I can say is thank God that Rosenhaus is finally going to get his payday. That man has done nothing but work his butt off for Owens since he signed with him. He got him out of that crappy $49 mil contract, alienated him from the fans, and helped get him what I'm betting is a much worse contract taht will be laden with incentives and low base salary. He has earned every penny of the 10% he's going to take from TO.
I remember when the Philly fans said the same thing. They also said that having a no nonsense coach and a winning tradition would keep Owens in line. I'm giving TO 6 weeks into next season before he is calling Bledsoe a weak armed, washed up homosexual. If he thinks McNabb sucks then whats he gonna do with Drew.Owens will be on his best behavior and out to prove something this year. Now, next year is another story. But win now and worry about next year next year.
I don't want to nitpick your post but TO's history is that he really doesn't acknowledge anything but his own wants. "I loves me some me."
And TO behaved perfectly in his first year, amassing awesome numbers and helping Philly almost win the Superbowl. It wasn't until he felt dissed after coming back early from injury that all his nonsense started. I stand by my prediction that he'll be on his best behavior in year one with the Cowboys. He'll put up great numbers and help the team. Year two, all bets are off. But you're a fool to avoid him in FF this coming year. He has a lot to prove this year.I remember when the Philly fans said the same thing. They also said that having a no nonsense coach and a winning tradition would keep Owens in line.

Excellent Posting. I am not a C-Boys fan but I would agree this is an excellent move to the future of this team.Cowboys I believe barring any QB injury are a lock for the playoffs.
As a Cowboys fan since birth, I completely disagree with you. I also have no idea what you're talking about regarding buying tradition. First, it's impossible in the salary cap era. Second, I believe that this is the second high profile free agent signing in the history of the franchise, and they'd already been to seven Super Bowls and won four before Deion.
He's obviously a better WR than Patrick Crayton. What's that have to do with Eagles fans being fired up when TO comes to the Linc?He single-handedly derailed the 2005 season. People can argue injuries all they want... but TO was the catalyst for their sorry season. Eagle fans know this. Had to watch the lunatic on local news night after night, talking trash, smiling and giving a big middle finger to city and organization.
Yes it is. T.O.'s a punk, but he'll make our team better. Go start your own "Gee, I hope we can go 10-6 next season" thread.
SPOT-ON!
I don't believe he really has "serious issues". Everything he does is calculated. It's about fame, notoriety and money. Period. He does everything to achieve an end, be it a contract renegotiation or forcing a trade. He manipulates the media into creating a circus over his every move. He intentionally causes distractions on the team ONLY when it suits his goals. Everything is planned and staged. And this coming year he will be out to put up huge numbers, prove his detractors wrong and win. And hopefully he can stick it to the Eagles while he's at it.
I thought the same thing you did when I read that post. You can't buy anything in the nfl anymore. (if you could I do think Jones would buy it) Aikman, Irvin and Emmitt were all drafted by the cowboys. IMHO Charles Haley was a high profile free agent and he really turned our defense into a superbowl caliber defense.
of course the guaranteed portion is the most important # here
if? week 2 at the latestHe'll probably have 300 yds and 5 tds against the Eagles alone...if those games are on prime time it may be double that
Guys i cant understand what is the deal with Barber .Julius is no small Rb he can get in from short yardage .
And yet you post the following on your "blog"......Dallas is now an automatic Super Bowl favorite for the 2006 season. Owens improves not only the offense here, but his going up against a (at times) suspect secondary every day in practice will do nothing but help the D in Big D. All other NFL offseasonBledsoe will be crying by the third game!!!!!
