buckbuster11 Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Looks like T.O is trying to destroy this team before the season even starts. I just heard a Dallas reporter on espn radio and he made it sound like a T.O.- Parcells blow up is right around the corner. Go figure..... IRVING, Texas -- Terrell Owens has finally pushed the Dallas Cowboys too far, drawing a $9,500 fine for missing a team meeting and a rehabilitation session and being late to an offensive meeting, The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday. "That's our club business. That's going to be accounted for," team owner Jerry Jones told the newspaper. The incidents occurred Friday, the team's final day preparing for a preseason game against San Francisco. The Cowboys beat the 49ers 17-7, making them 3-0 this preseason without Owens playing any of the games because of a hamstring injury that's also kept him out of 19 of 31 practices since the start of training camp. Neither team officials nor Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, immediately returned calls to The Associated Press seeking comment Sunday. During a postgame television interview, Jones did not mention the fine but answered several other questions about Owens. Jones said his only concern with the receiver is "injury, not all this other stuff you hear about." Owens' past is filled with run-ins with quarterbacks, coaches and others in his own organization. San Francisco and Philadelphia got rid of him, but the Cowboys welcomed him with open arms and a lucrative contract in March, four days after the Eagles released him. Owens vowed to be a better man and a better teammate in Dallas. While the fine is the most drastic, he already has done plenty to stand out. He missed much of the offseason training program -- with permission -- and turned his hamstring injury into an attention-getter by flying in specialists to help him rehabilitate and wearing a cycling team outfit one day while pedaling a stationary bicycle. After returning to practice for several days, coach Bill Parcells ruled him out of a Monday night game and Owens hasn't practiced since. He said he aggravated the injury because the club pushed him too hard. When Parcells said this week that he needs to see Owens on the field, T.O. responded that there's 10 years of tape to show what he can do. Jones seemed to downplay the drama surrounding Owens' injury by noting that Carolina's Steve Smith and Pittsburgh's Hines Ward also have been slowed by hamstring injuries without drawing the same scrutiny as Owens. He also recalled Deion Sanders' ability to play well after flying in from baseball games and missing long stretches of practice. "I know this -- when he's healthy, he's going to help us win these ballgames," Jones said. The Cowboys play their final preseason game Thursday night at home against Minnesota. The opener is Sept. 10 at Jacksonville. Copyright 2006 by The Associated Press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colts1888 Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Re: Anybody still think T.O will work in Dallas? Jones forced TO on to Parcells. I think it's crap and i dont think Parcells has a prayer. Jones is going to overule any decisions that Bill makes. If I were Parcells i would just walk away now before it gets worse. I also heard a report that the Boys may release Mike Vandershank. Apparently he has already ticked Parcells off and is dealing with a groin injury. He may not even make the team lol.

muggs Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Re: Anybody still think T.O will work in Dallas? [ QUOTE ] Jones is going to overule any decisions that Bill makes. [/ QUOTE ] I don't think Parcells will let anyone overrule his decisions. This is gonna get ugly...I bet Parcells won't even play him. To much ego in Dallas right now.

Yellowhammer Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Re: Anybody still think T.O will work in Dallas? I think the Tuna will play him but only as a second stringer and not start him. I hope that Bill will send this cry baby packing and nobody pick him up for he is just a cancer that will destory a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Re: Anybody still think T.O will work in Dallas? I gave the Boys 3 games before he took the team into the dumper......I guess that was a good guess...this guy is a JOKE....to bad he is a good ball player but he has NO BRAINS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colts1888 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Re: Anybody still think T.O will work in Dallas? Thats just it, he WILL play. Jerry Jones will not let Parcells keep him on the bench. It just isnt going to happen. I look for him to not start, but be put into the game early. Thats about as harsh as Jerry will let Bill be. Thats why i think Bill is in a no win situation here. I dont really think Bill wanted TO to begin with. Ownes is doing nothing but testing the waters here and he knows that Jerry has his back.

Tominator Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Re: Anybody still think T.O will work in Dallas? I think if I went back and looked at my post from when the Cowgirls hired him, my response was something to the effect of "they deserve everything they get." Ol' Jerry Whatshisname forgot his most basic lesson in history. History has a tendency to repeat itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdvantageTimberLou Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Anybody still think T.O will work in Dallas? Guy has a ego that is for sure, just wish he would shut up and play the game like it should be and quit talking smack. Never seen Jerry Rice act like him, that guy had class and still does!!

hunterfisherman Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Anybody still think T.O will work in Dallas? This guy is a virus. He doesn't get in trouble or get arrested and that's the best part about him. He has hall of fame talent and will only see that place with a ticket. Four games max and he starts on his me trip again.

colts1888 Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Re: Anybody still think T.O will work in Dallas? Vandershank misses 2 FG's in OT for the boys tonight. Guess the preseason pressure is to much. Hard for me to believe this guy may not even make the team, but Parcells is livid with this guy.
