Owens out 2-4weeks with a broken ring finger..so!

Mike Bell Den..practiced today will play week3..has a broken finger!

Drew Carter Car....practiced today will play week 3..has a broken finger!

$$$ baby I think :banned:

 
I didn't recall the other two needing surgery, but correct me if I'm wrong. Big difference between the two situations.

 
...Why isn't anyone calling Steve Smith a baby? T.O rests his hammy, and he is a baby...Steve Smith misses 2 games, and there is nothin!

 
Overheard in my FIL's house while Deion Sanders was with the Cowboys:

"Sanders will miss today's game with a case of turf toe."

FIL: "Did they just say he's not playing football because his toe hurts?"

Bob: "Basically, yeah."

FIL: "Back in my day," looks over his shoulder to see if the women-folk are nearby, whispers "we would have called him a ##### for that."

 
yeah yeah, owens is a brat, jerk, clown... but no one has a right to question his toughness...
I think there's some 49'ers fans that would disagree with you there... that last year had some pretty questionable play & "injuries"...
 
Parcells said today in his PC that Owens may play against Tennessee. I don't have a link handy, but I saw him say this first hand on TV.

It's the NFL for gods sakes..scotch tape two fingers together..who was that pitcher in the world series he had guts..oh yeah..Shilling red blood in socks (lol red socks)!

I don't think Schilling pitches with his foot. Seems some people need to research the actual injury here, rather than spouting off. Also, nobody seems to want to mention that he played the entire game with it until the team had the game in hand before going and getting it x-ray'd.

:goodposting: I am no fan of TO as he should have lost the respect of everyone. However, since he has been with Dallas everyone has tried to make something out of nothing and he handled it very, very well. He made one mistake and that was to draw attention to himself with the Lance Armstrong impersonation, but that was only to be humorous and wasn't bad. EVERYONE was giving him crap about his hammy yet Steve Smith and Ward had hammy issues as well and TO came back before both of them.Not to turn political but when you cry wolf (or trump up something) about a time that isn't valid, it only takes away from the legit times that deserve heavy criticism.

If he played the game without crying..why cry now ..just play hurt or not. :bye:
 
Any of you ever try catching a football with a broken finger?? Hurts like a #####.
Trust me if I made 15 million a season...I would play :)
Very true, but I should have clarified and also said it makes it very tough to catch a ball. Also, it likely will slow down the healing process. So, do you prefer 13 weeks of 100 percent Owens and 1 week of no Owens, or like 4 weeks of a hurting Owens where he has trouble catching the ball and 10 weeks of 100 percent Owens?
 
yeah yeah, owens is a brat, jerk, clown... but no one has a right to question his toughness...
If he got a splinter in his butt from sitting on the bench he would cry to the trainers..take me to the locker room now I'm hurt!
What a worthless thread. He is listed as out 2-4 weeks because of surgery. Surgery is this thing where they cut open your body and fix things.Are you really questioning TO's toughness? I am not a big fan of the guy, but didn't he return way ahead of schedule to try and help Philly win a Super Bowl?What evidence do you have of him not being tough? Are you judging him on pre-season or what? The guy practices and plays as hard as anyone.Help me understand what point you are trying to make in this thread and back it up with some facts.

At least get the injury right...he didn't break his FINGER...he broke his HAND. The 4th metatarsil (sp?)...

He might play against TEN and I don't expect him to miss PHI...

There are 4579 posts that reply to your misunderstanding of Owens..of course goes back to 49ers times. :rolleyes:

Bubba - I asked you to help me understand the point of your thread. Your reply only shows me your ignorance. You seem to be bashing TO for not being tough. Is TO being listed as out 2-4 weeks your reasoning? Was it that he didn't play pre-season football? What???

I believe my very first post was the question..seems you never answered it ..why two other players can play with a broken finger and not Owens..yes saw the other replies..but that's their opinion..I think he is a wimp..just trying to take over Parcells in a way>so whats your opinion on this now?
 
Owens didn't chose surgery. And as far as I have seen, he has not missed a game yet either. I don't even like TO and can't believe the topic name.

He came back earlier than normal for the Superbowl.

:lmao: Oh, man. Owens is a wimp? Good grief. Anybody actually the watch the game Sunday night? He couldn't catch the ball! If he could be effective with this injury, no matter what the pain was, he'd be playing. Owens is tougher than the combined "manliness" of everyone on this message board, whether you "dislike" him or not.
 
Owens is a wimp huh?? :lmao:

Mike Bell gets handoffs, much easier on his hand and not catching a 40-50 mph pass over the middle where Linebackers are waiting to send him to the IR.

T.O. hasnt missed anything, AND its a bye week!! So how can you b.i.t.ch and moan about the guy when it's still uncertain wether he misses a game or not.

I'm a JETS fan, but i love T.O. Forget all the off field crap, when the guy gets on the field...every corner in the league knows it.

Steve Smith in my book is a chump!!!! Yeah the guy had a good year last year....largely in part to the Muhsin Muhammed being shipped out, and no other WR on that team to throw to. But the year before....out with a broken leg, this year....out with Hammy strains...he thinks he is Chad Johnson, but too bad he is injury prone like Blair Thomas....yeah i said it.....so what!!!! :hot:

T.O. will destroy the numbers put up by Smith this year...

in my book i have it as T.O. 2 games......Smith - 0 games.

And just a reminder, T.O. plays through pain...just go back to the SuperBowl....Even McNabb knew he was his best shot at winning a ring.

 
Finger, as sung by Bill Parcells and Jerry Jones

*sung to the tune of Linger by the Cranberries*

If you, if you could return,

Don’t act so hurt, don’t be a babe.

We're sure we're not being rude,

But it’s just your attitude.

It’s tearing us apart.

It’s ruining everything.

And we swore, we swore we would be true.

And TO, so did you.

So why are you holding your hand?

Why can't you be a man?

Why the crying all the time?

Is it just a game to you?

But we're in so deep,

You know we paid so much for you.

You got a wrap around your finger.

Do you have to let it linger?

Did you have to,

Did you have to,

Did you have to break your finger.

Oh, we thought the world of you.

We thought nothing could go wrong.

But we were wrong,

We were wrong.

If you, if you could just try,

Play after the bye.

Things wouldn’t be so confused,

And we wouldn’t feel so used.

With the groin we really knew

You were playing us for fools...

And we're in so deep,

You know we've played the fool for you.

You got a wrap around your finger.

Do you have to let it linger?

Did you have to,

Did you have to,

Did you have to break your finger.

---------------------------------------------

(actual lyrics, for the Cranberries-impaired)

If you, if you could return

Don’t let it burn, don’t let it fade

I’m sure I’m not being rude

But it’s just your attitude

It’s tearing me apart

It’s ruining everything

And I swore, I swore I would be true

And honey so did you

So why were you holding her hand

Is that the way we stand

Were you lying all the time

Was it just a game to you

But I’m in so deep

You know I’m such a fool for you

You got me wrapped around your finger

Do you have to let it linger

Do you have to

Do you have to

Do you have to let it linger

Oh, I thought the world of you

I thought nothing could go wrong

But I was wrong

I was wrong

If you, if you could get by

Trying not to lie

Things wouldn’t be so confused

And I wouldn’t feel so used

But you always really knew

I just wanna be with you

But I’m in so deep

You know I’m such a fool for you

You got me wrapped around your finger

Do you have to let it linger

Do you have to

Do you have to

Do you have to let it linger

 
Owens is the biggest baby in the NFL in my book..was with the 49ers was with the Eagles..and now same thing with the Cowboys..What other opinions are is up to them. :banned:
I'll try to use small words and talk slowly for you.He broke his hand.He needed surgery.You can't catch right after hand surgery.He is a bad man but he is not a wimp.What he did to play in the 2004 super bowl was amazing.
 
...Why isn't anyone calling Steve Smith a baby? T.O rests his hammy, and he is a baby...Steve Smith misses 2 games, and there is nothin!
Because Steve Smith is a badass, for one. If he's out, it's legit.Funny, how reputations work.
Owens is a badass as well. When has he ever nursed an injury? If he's out, it's legit.
My first post (3rd overall) actually defended Owens. And I've heard that story about him calling out his teammates in Philly (to fight)...What I was trying to say was that people, for the most part, like Smith and so he will get a pass ("Why isn't anyone calling Steve Smith a baby?"). But because of Owens' rep, he will get questioned more.
 
Did anyone catch Parcells pre empting Owens milking this injury? He explained once the pins go in the injury is fully stable. He made it sound like there's no reason to miss a play with this injury. Just a little adjustment to the hand function and dealing with a little pain. I thought he sent a message. Was I the only one who saw this?

Yeah, I saw him say that right after singing my song.

Hey , lets go out and spend millions of dollars on one of the top wr in the game today and if he gets injured we will make him play hurt and not fix the injury...sounds like a plan :loco:
