I mean, because, i think its clear to everyone watching that Bill Parcells HATES him.... He refers to him as "The Player" LOL "If THE PLAYER doesnt practice, how can i play him?" "If The Player says he's too hurt to play, what can i do about that?" lol

T.O has missed 13 games in hist last 3 seasons (including playoffs) He hasn't played a full season since 2001. He is the deciding factor for the Cowboys this year. He has to stay healthy and must become comfortable in that offense.
I wouldn't say Parcells hates Owens. He is just frustrated with him. Parcells is like that with all his players. He is just setting the point across to TO that he is no better than anyone on this football team, and if he doesn't practice, he doesn't play....Parcell has been that way for his entire career.
Owens is a football player. He isn't "TO" anymore, he isn't "what you see is what you get"...he is a player who will not play if he doesn't follow the rules and if he doesn't practice...that is what Parcells is trying to point out.
Basically, if Owens is favored by the cowboys owner (with all due respect, a total ***), then Parcells won't hesitate to walk out on the Cowboys. Don't be surprised if that happens.

T.O. is done. As said, he has not played a total season since 01'. How can anyone expect him to change that now. His attitude sucks, the money has gone to his head, and the "holier than thou art" mentality is for the birds. I want to see him get knocked flat on his posterior for two reasons. #1-his persona is the epitome of horseshit. It is only fitting for someone that thinks they make the game what it is to get a good old fashioned reality check. #2-Parcells will not have to decide if he plays or not if he is injured to the point that he cannot play. That way Parcells does not look like a jerk-off manager to all the T.O. Lovers in the world and he still gets to keep his job, or at least T.O. will not be the reason he loses it.

That's funnny.
If you remember back in the day...Emmitt Smith never would play preseason games for the Dallas Cowboys...it's almost a probowl celeb trip...so they don't get hurt.
TO is doing the same thing, his hamstring was tested numerous times and they say it's fine. The doctors in the NFL would know.
He's clearly faking the injury so that he can just play the games...he's just doing it creatively
He's a great player...he's just not going to have good timing with Drew Bledsoe.
I think he'll play most of the season.

I hope he doesn't. Then we can all be rid of the bastard that gives decent a** holes everywhere a bad name. Thank God the Falcons didn't follow through on the threat to sign him. I'd have to find another team.
Has anyone else noticed that when football players get stupid nicknames, they become idiots? T.O., 'Neon' Dieon, L.T., etc? Don't get me wrong, there are great players with nicknames (Darryl "Spiderman" Talley, William "The Fridge" Perry, Carnell "Cadillac" Williams [although he is only in his second year out of Auburn, pleeeaaaasssseeee let him stay normal]), but these seem to be the exceptions to the rule.

T.O. will not play the whole 16 games ..he will miss the first 3 and the Parcells will bench him forthe rest of the season and look to trade him..T.O. might end up costing Parcells his job in Dallas after the season is over with.

The worst mindset could be satisfied once you win. i'm honestly a Cowboy fan and think of Owens only has a great mouth not a bad mindset, what he mentioned approximately McNab grew to become into real he only shouldn't of aired it outdoors the locker room, comparable using fact the subject concerns in San Fran. i think of Owens is older and a touch smarter to not point out the Cowboys are starting to be considered one of and probable the everyday of the NFC on paper. could be an exciting twelve months in Dallas.

I think he will play 8 games and be "injured" for the other 8.

If he's too hurt to practice, I'd think he's too hurt to play. Just my two cents!
