I'm less "concerned" and more "totally amused." I hope McNabb wins the MVP and TO doesn't catch more than 3 passes per game. After this year, I won't really care, I just want one year where that a-hole gets it stuck to him (Not that it will actually affect him, he'll just blame it on everyone else like he usually does).

Kind of like how I wanted Notre Dame to just get dominated in at least one game this year, which they did, so now I don't root against them anymore.

When TO is focused and puts forth effort he's probably one of the best WRs in the league but then you get the circus shows from TO. You get the good with the bad; too bad it's the latter most of time.

I hate T.O more than almost any other football player - but as hongsc said, when he wants to play he plays and plays exceptionally well... to me he is just not worth the theatrics and BS. T.O deserves all the bad attention he gets, he brings it on himself. He was overheard yelling "why did they bother to sign me in the offseason then!" near the tunnel after the game... it will get worse, he will throw bledsoe under the bus, and it will start all over again, he may even throw romo under it when he gets in too... I think T.O is done playing football after this year, no one wants his baby mama drama.

As much as I dislike him, I can see his point on being mad that they don't throw to him. I think the problem is that no one (read: Parcells or Bledsoe) really wanted him in the first place, and it was pretty much solely a Jerry Jones move. So, it's not that they signed him and wanted him so bad and now they're not utilizing him, like he thinks it is, it's that the decision makers on the field didn't want him in the first place and aren't going to make extra efforts to include him when they already had a system in place with players they liked.

That, and him missing a ton of practice during training camp and showing up to ride his exercise bike with a bike helmet and uniform on, then talking about it like it didn't really matter.

I really hope that if he keeps up with this garbage, and the team goes nowhere, that they cut him after the season. I know some other team would probably pick him up, but at a much lower salary than he wants. Maybe getting cut by two teams in consecutive seasons when you're an all star is enough to get across the point that the problem is you, not them.

Probably not, though.

he has no point, 13 balls got thrown his way - it's the offensive line that collapsed...many balls were swatted or were thrown short due to pressure.

you're probably right with your speculation on his acquisition.

T.O's best chance for success was in philly, he got 1200 yards and 14 scores, he was the #1 option on every passing play and he had a more than capable QB, one of the best in the league throwing to him... but he whined about a contract he just signed, wanted more, he wants it all... he can't stand to be highly paid and be the best in the league, he wants to be the best in the league AND be the highest paid...he's almost 33 years old, sometimes you just gotta take what you can and do the best you can guy.

Speaking of his age, the year he was drafted (1996) was a RIDICULOUS draft class for WRs. Look at these names -

Keyshawn Johnson
Terrell Owens
Terry Glenn
Muhsin Muhammad
Marvin Harrison
Eric Moulds
Amani Toomer

Pretty good crop.

Didnt every cowboy fan WANT T.O. BEFORE he actually got signed with the boys? 5 weeks into the season and everyone hates him, again. I knew this would happen and thats why I am VERY happy that Broncos decided to get Walker instead of T.O. :D

Ouch, almost all of those are Pro Bowlers (at some point). And Muhammad might go this year.

Not really. Most fans I talked to, and this is IN the Dallas metroplex, wanted to avoid him like the plague. Randy Galloway, local radio host, hated his guts from the beginning.

With what happened in Philly I think a lot of people were cautious but Jerry Jones was always about flash and TO seemed like a perfect match. Jones was also blamed for breaking up the Cowboys' dynasty as player after player left their Superbowl team.

No, no one wanted him.

Even myself, a lifelong cowboys fan, almost decided to switch teams when they signed him.

TO and Dennis Rodman should get married.

They could use Ricky William's wedding dress! Though I'm pretty sure Rodman wore one at least once, too.

At least Rodman put up when it mattered. He's got a few rings, doesn't he? TO just has a history of blowing teams up.
