Being a Dallas fan since birth, I have once held a shred of animosity against TO, but as soon as Teague clocked him to the turf for the stunt he pulled in 49'er gear his antics really don't bother me. With sports, I take the same approach as I do with actors, I could care less what they do off the field, what they say, and what the media says. As long as they produce, make good plays or make good movies, I'm a fan. I don't really care about them on a personal level to get angry with them or whatever.
But, this post was pretty funny because, number one, you were quoting a Philly story about "TO causing controversy in the Dallas lockerroom".... give me a break. I watch local news everynight and we get the personal interviews and what not and I haven't seen one single player on the Dallas team express their frustration with how TO is handling himself thusfar. That doesn't mean they don't wish he would practice and do what everyone else is having to do, but I think everyone knows when he steps on the field, he is going to produce. He has A LOT to prove after that circus show in Philly and with the non-existent pre-season he has had in his first year here in Dallas, and he said he will produce.
Whether or not he actually is yet to be seen but all of this is completely blown out of proportion and just textbook overreaction by the media (in this case Philly's media) to cause drama and chaos.
