everybody on the ESPN network hates terrel owens. Keshan Johnson even compared him to a terrorist. I think the cowboys made a very big mistake,  big D is screwed!!!!!, no longer a cowboy fan!!!!!

I don't know what is ESPN's business with the Cowboys anyways lets see how good they would be without T.O knowing fully well that the Eagles and 49ers have been worse off since he left.Its so good to be a Steeler grin grin

I just saw the news this morning too. What a mess, I think Jerry Jones has made a big mistake this time. TO didn't make as much catches this season, but he made a lot of money for the organisation. I'm disappointed with Jerry over this. I may just sell off my season tickets on EBay for nothing.

Shenanigan,
TO is paid to catch,and as you rightly pointed out,he didn't do that last season.
Enough reason for him to be cut.
I think TO has outlived his usefulness to the Dallas franchise.The Cowboys haven't made a decent run in ages if you consider that they were the premier team in the NFL in the early nineties.
TO brings unnecessary drama to everywhere he has gone since he left the 49ers.And apparently he's done nothing on the field since that time.
No doubt,he's talented.As good as any wide reciever you'd ever see.
But i think the Cowboys can do without his drama.

Before you conclude that T.O did not make any catches last season please try and read this article

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9299080/In-defense-of-Terrell-Owens?MSNHPHMA

He is still the 2nd best wide receiver of all time his stats say so and you can't really tell me the 49ers have been better since he left same goes for the Philly Eagles! i think the Cowboys problem go way beyond T.O it starts with their puppet master owner Jerry Jones and the puppet coach Wade Phillips down to their perennial choker of a QB Tony Romo not forgetting their over-rated defence which could not pull out stops when it mattered last season all you needed to do was watch the games against the Steelers,Ravens,Cardinals and Eagles and you would totally realize that T.O is being blamed unfairly.No team T.O has left has improved considerably and Dallas would not be an exception

All of you are traitors angry angry tongue tongue tongue. Leaving Cowboys cos of TO?
Do I sense a hint of disloyalty here?

I think it's crazy that y'all see TO as the source of the problems of the Cowboys. I never thought ESPN would be this biased over sports. I'm kinda disappointed in them.

A-40,
I never said TO didn't catch last season.
He just didn't do it as much as he normally would.
No one is doubting his ability.
But the off-field antics put pressure on the Cowboy team.
Romo chokes.Tell me which QB hasn't choked before.Unfortunately,Romo made matters worse by dating Jessica Simpson,attracting media attention both sporting and secular.

Back to TO.
Why hasn't he done anything to improve all the teams he's played for since San Fransisco(i.e. get to the Superbowl)?
Why does he feud with Donovan McNabb at Philly and Bill Parcels at Dallas?

True,TO isn't the source of all Dallas' problems.But he hasn't transformed any of his teams since SF either.From your article,TO draws attention to himself rather unnecessarily.That's why it's easy to blame him.And this Dallas scenario is no different.

@Eastbay
There is no player on that Cowboy roster that did not under-perform it is always frustrating to see T.O always being made the scapegoat even when he is not at fault
The difference with Romo is he has flopped in every big game of his career and Romo is who he is today because of T.O his dating Jessica Simpson has nothing to do with it afterall Tom Brady is with one of the top supermodels in the word who probably earns 5 times Jessica Simpson's money and is still one of the best QB's in the game Tony Romo would still be a choker if he was dating an unknown country girl

He did get to the Superbowl with the Eagles and tell me how well they have fared since he left? same thing for the 49ers!! if T.O was such a problem why have both teams regressed so badly since he left?
Re: Espn And The Hate For Terrel Owens by MP007(m): 4:46am On Mar 09, 2009
lets just wait still next season when romo screws up, no T.O to blame,
Re: Espn And The Hate For Terrel Owens by Moonstone(f): 5:07am On Mar 09, 2009
Romo is Going to screw up. . . that team needs therapy and so do the fans.
Re: Espn And The Hate For Terrel Owens by SHENANIGAN(m): 2:55am On Mar 12, 2009
