Terrell Owens thinks he's too good to practice and snubs the coaches and the media. He thinks he's so good that he shouldn't have to practice. I wish Dallas would throw him back to where he came from. He's a humiliation to our great state of Texas. It's people like him that give his race a bad a rap. What is your opinion?

kcbranaghsgirl, the TUNA didn't want him to begin with so please know what you're talking about before you open your mouth

I agree with you sweetheart. T.O. is a cancer to any team. I was so glad they made him sit out last season. He should be on the sidelines. He didn't want to practice and as soon as Parcels said he wouldn't play him, he got better ALL OF A SUDDEN and played last night. He's a joke and should be out of football. The NFL babies people like him and he knows it. That's why he acts the way he does. He knows no matter what, someone will pick him up...Sad - but true...!!! I wouldn't say he gives us African Americans a bad rap, he's just a bad "person"...I can see how people might view it that way though...Thanks for you opinion. That's interesting coming from a female. I appreciate that...!!! You Go Girl...!!! (tee-hee)

I think sitting out a player you just had sign a 10 million dollar contract is kind of ridiculous. I know T.O. has a reputation of making a mockery out of football teams...Just look what he did with Philly and San Fran. Controversy will always follow him no matter where he goes. I to was pissed off when he danced on the star at Texas stadium. But when i heard he was signed on to the Dallas Cowboys i thought to myself this is one way for him to pay back the state of Texas for what he did. If T.O. does what he says he'll do this year. I think people all over the United States will be eating their own words. And if he doesn't pull thru we still have a chance with all the other guns that out shined during preseason games. Can't wait to see who makes the roster tomorrow. HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS*!!!! Gonna be a good year tater:)

You know, the last thing I really want to hear is Cowgirls fans complain about what a disgrace T.O. is (particularly not to the "great state of Texas"). It's not like he was an unknown quantity: he was an a**hole in SF, and then he was an a**hole in Philly. What great logistical leap would it have taken to foresee that he'd be an a**hole in Dallas?
The Tuna and Jerry Jones made their beds. They may lie in them for all I care.
P.S.: The Tuna may not have wanted him in the first place, but he may have relented in the end. I find it highly improbable that the Dallas front office would spend that kind of money on a player that Parcells was ultimately that dead against. So, unless you've got some inside information that the rest of the public doesn't have (are you Parcells' daughter? GF/wife?), I don't see what makes your estimate of what goes on behind closed doors any more valid than mine.
Even if you are correct, they pay the Tuna big $$$ to put up with T.O., and he chooses to accept the terms. If Dallas hadn't signed him, he wouldn't have as much of a claim to the spotlight as he does now (so, thanks for helping to pollute NFL coverage with this crap). And if he helps the Cowgirls claim a playoff spot, all will be forgiven between T.O. and the "great" state of Texas.
So I still don't want to hear it.

Let Terrell put his money where his mouth is. He doesn't want to practice? Fine. Set up a list of goals that he should accomplish every game. If he doesn't do well, dock him. Hurting him in his paycheck is the only way that he will understand. If he does well then who cares if he practices. Of course, if he doesn't do well, I'm sure that there are other NFL teams out there that would take him.

Yes - except maybe when they get to Philly on Oct. 8th........ so the EAGLES can plow him down on the field. Let them have that opportunity.
TO does not belong in NFL - or any sport for that matter. He is NOT a team player. It's all about "Show me the money!" He was 'boo-hoo, poor me' on the news last year about having a family to feed- like he's the only one! In the meantime he jumps out of his Escalade carrying an 'Outback Steakhouse' bag.

T.o. Has an spraind hammy. I say let him get well so the start of the regular season hes ready to go. if you rush on the field he might not be 100% and now just a sprain hamstring becomes a lingering one. which could hurt dallas chance winning it all.

There are plenty of jackass NFL players out there. At least T.O. is one that we know about. Plus anyone that is a Dallas fan will let his attitude slide once he gets on the field. His talent will be needed badly. That doesn't change the fact that he is one of the biggest jerks in the NFL, but I don't really care. I watch football to be entertained and someone with his talent is entertaining.

No way that would be like buying a Rolex and keeping it in a jewelry box. Oh yeah people do that don't they? Yeah keep him off the field. You can throw him away but please don't send him to Indy send him to Europe yeah that would be a good place for him

If he continues, he'll be kicked out of big D. Parcels is a good coach and he won't put up with that crap. Give it time. I can't believe T.O. didn't learn from his antics at S.F. and Philly.
