You know you want TO on your team

[GettnHuge 2]

admit it

[GobbleDog 1,023]

My team? Miami Dolphins, and yes I'd gladly take TO.

[Me_2006 14]

Colts? Why not. We'd win and he'd be happy. Manning will get him the damn ball. We have an actual, unquestioned leader. Not some nancy boy like McNabb or Romo that falls apart when things get rough. It'll never happen, but if we say TO in a Colts uni come September, I'd like our chances and have no problem with it.

do the colts have 10m extra under the cap for him?

[kilroy69 1,275]

I would rather the lions pick up vick.

[GettnHuge 2]

pick him up from the pen?

[Franknbeans 46]

I'd love to have him on my team just to watch James Harrison pound him into submission

So Manning would be different than the three QBs who he played with and wanted him out of town?

 

At what point will you morons understand what the common denominator was in all three of those situations?

 

 

I could see a Cincinnati or Detroit rolling the dice with him. What do they have to lose? But a team like the Vikings or Colts who are already close would be absolutely demolished by its fans and the press if they made a desperate reach, with all the data they have, and this dooshbag tore apart his fourth team. Of course, they'd be deserving of just that.

[kutulu 1,728]

I think he could behave for one year on the Giants in the spotlight of NYC and would open up all kinds of sh1t for everyone else, but no way does he fit into the Coughlin/Reese program.

The reason things blew up in the other places was because things started to turn south and there was a QB who didn't have complete respect of his team. There were questions about them all and a lot of folks in the locker room actually sided with TO when he spoke out. That isn't going to happen with Manning (or Brady, to be fair) as he has proven himself and has the respect of everyone.

 

I agree with you that it won't happen, as the personalities of the team and TO don't mesh and I'm not sure he'd wanna come in and be a #2 behind Wayne. Just saying if it happened, I think it'd work out well enough to get us a ring and wouldn't quite blow up. I'd be fine with it as a Colts fan.

[KSB2424 3,175]

If it was 4 years ago, yes I would love to have him on the Panthers. But not now. And it has nothing to do with his off the field stuff (both real and perceived). It is because he is 35 years old.

[RLLD 4,283]

Absofockinglutely NOT. I would not want this chump anywhere near the Ravens, at best they would get 8 decent games out of him, and he would emerge as useless come playoff time. This alligator-armed fool can take his issues somewhere else, away from our young QB, Bmore does not need garbage like this to foul up the works and I bet Ozzie Newsome would not have this idiot come in.

[Bert 1,129]

I hope he goes to Tennessee. Him and VY on the same team would provide much hilarity.

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

As a Titans fan, I'll pass.

 

He'd throw Kerry under the bus, and get him drinking again.

 

Then he'd drive Vince to suicide.

 

Now eventually Bullock might kill the prima donna fock, but then we'd lose a LB to a murder rap.

 

So all the way around, no dice.

Never under estimate the stupidity of Bud Adams. He is like Jerry Jones and Al Davis without all the Superbowl trophies.

Wow. How many different quarterbacks does he have to do this to until you stop blaming them and start realizing it's Owens?

 

Three and counting and some fools are still defending TO. Amazing.

REPORT: GIANTS HAVE “ZERO” INTEREST IN T.O.

 

Well, the verdict already is in.

 

Non-fat frozen yogurt actually contains fat . . . the the New York Giants aren’t interested in sudden free-agent receiver Terrell Owens.

 

Bob Glauber of Newsday reports that the Giants have “zero” interest in Owens.

 

Frankly, we’re susprised. The Giants have thrived with big personalities in the recent past, and they need a guy who can replace Plaxico Burress.

 

The Redskins are on the clock.

 

UPDATE: Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger reports the same thing: “They don’t want anything to do with [Owens]. Not today. Not tomorrow. And from the sound of it, not even if Plaxico Burress goes to jail.”

You know, on the Mange, I agreed with someone who thought he'd be a good fit in Ten. I mean, they have a definite need at WR and Fisher handled one nut-job nergo well, so what the heck...

 

But you talked me out of it. On 2nd thought, if VY can't handle getting BOOED, can you imagine what'd happen the first time TO went off on him? He's crack like an egg.

Some guy on the mange already laid out how it would go down.

 

Boy but it would be fun to watch the TO and VY drama. After VY over throws or under throws TO for the 8th straight time, TO screams at him on the sideline and VY runs into the locker room crying. When they come out to start the 3rd quarter VY actually throws an accurate pass into the end zone and TO drops it. Fischer has an aneurism and Bud Adams, just like every season he has been in the NFL, doesn't win the super bowl.

[wiffleball 4,799]

That guy is pretty funny. He knows Bud Adams well.

As a Nashvilleian, I am happy as hell we have the Titans. But I know it is only temporary, and will be a hell of a mess in a few years. Here is how it will go...

 

In a few years, Bud will say "You know, this stadium sucks. It is old, and small, and we need a new one."

 

The city govt. will be between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, we Tennesseeans love our football, and will want to keep the team. On the other, we hate taxes, and have always voted down a tax increase any time we get the chance. For example, our legislature has tried on a number of occasions to pass a state income tax. Fortunately, the Courts have ruled that this would require a state referrendum under the state Constitution, and that has no chance in hell of happening. Last time they proposed it, the legislators who supported it got bounced.

 

I have no idea if a tax proposal to build a new stadium would pass or not. But one day, we will find out.

 

If it fails, Bud will go to some other city. As they say with women and cheating, if she'll do it with you, she'll do it to you.

 

Oh, and the Titans raped us on the deal for the stadium they have now. We can't use it for concerts or anything else. So basically, (other than the TSU college team) the tax built stadium gets used 8 times a year, and for outdoor concerts, we have to use Vandy's sh!tty stadium.

 

Personally, I hope the City and State tell Bud, "Ok, we'll build a new stadium. But this one is ours. We name it, we use it how we want. You don't like it, find another city that will sell out for 7 consecutive seasons, good or bad."

 

Oh, and of course, with local state politics being what they are, we would have to throw Memphis a bone too to get the stadium built. Last time, in exchange for the Titans, the Stadium, and The Preds and their arena, we had to support them getting the Grizzlies and build them an arena.

 

I would love to see the city and state get a bunch of money together and buy the Titans from Bud. Then we own them, they are here forever, and we build a stadium when and if we damn well please. Of course, the NFL would never allow it.

[listen2me 23 1,977]

No Doubt!

 

TO is a Winner!

 

 

[jerryskids 7,270]

As a Cards fan, I absolutely endorse picking him up and dropping that lazy Boldin. He'd be a greta influence on Fitz, and his personality would fit well with the devout christian in Warner.

 

Also I'm an Obama fan.

Not to be morbid but maybe he will die, he is 84, and the new owners will be easier to work with.

[NorthernVike 2,113]

Fock it. I'll take him up here in Minny. It would be fun watching TO and Chilly go at it on the sidelines. Maybe TO could chase that bald focker back to the h3llhole that is Philly

[vuduchile 1,947]

I'm a Cowboys fan, and I definitely don't want him there. Never did.

[MDC 8,264]

Three years ago almost any team in the NFL would have been delighted to have TO. Now he's 35 years old, his skills are in decline and he just wrecked the locker room of his 3rd team. Jerry Jones forced Owens on Parcells and practically smooched TO's arse just to keep him happy ... and Owens still couldn't control himself. Who the hell would want to put up with that? He's no longer an elite receiver, just a very good receiver with a limited shelf-life who poisons ever team he goes to.

 

I predict he ends up with the Raiders, the only team with an owner crazier than Jerry Jones.

[RLLD 4,283]

Team who have thus far stated they do not want TO

 

Washington

Minnesota

San Francisco

Baltimore

Miami

I'm betting you can add Todd Haley and the Chiefs to that list

Oh Good Lord.

Of course it's TO's fault. He's a focking sociopath.

 

The point is, in Indy there'd be no one to listen to him or give him any credence and he'd either shut the fock up or just kill himself.

 

McNabb is a choke artist that pukes his guts out, Romo is Schiavo-esque post-November and the Cowboys as a whole turned into a circus.

 

A solid organization with an unquestioned leader at QB would have a much better chance of avoiding a meltdown.

[MDC 8,264]

McNabb is a choke artist

 

Yeah, you could never say that about Peyton.

[patweisers44 876]

Romo is Schiavo-esque post-November

 

gurgle....gurgle...

[RLLD 4,283]

I'm betting you can add Todd Haley and the Chiefs to that list

 

I wonder if her has yet hit that "AHA!" moment where he realizes how much money his stupid antics have cost him.....

[Me_2006 14]

Yeah, you could never say that about Peyton.

Three questions

 

1. Who the fock are you?

 

2. What team do you root for?

 

3. How many rings do Peyton and McNabb each have?

[wiffleball 4,799]

My take on T.O. by Wiffleball. 35th grade.

 

 

First off, I'm not defending T.O. let's be clear about that. However, I do feel badly for the guy to this extent:

 

Terrell Owens is immature & hugely divisive. Like many of the headcases in the NFL (Moss, Glenn, Owens) he had no father figure in his life. This doesn't get noted enough. I'd love to see someone do a sociology paper on this. The guys I listed are noted for not having a father figure growing up. There has to be a connection there. I'm not saying that single moms all raise crazy kids, but there has to be a connection. The guy never had a Dad to pop him upside the head when he pulled this shiit. Terry Glenn? Jesus, if you know his story, he deserves to be the prototypical headcase WR.

 

The closest thing these guys have to a father figure is oftentimes their agent. It's not a surprise who many of these guys' agent is: Drew Rosenhaus. You take a kid who is not intelligent, not worldly, has had no OTHER male in their life looking out for them, and it's easy pickings. "Terrell, you're just not being respected. They don't love you, they're just USING YOU for your unbelievable talent. I'm here for you. It is my NUMBER ONE job to look out for YOU." - It's easy to see how this crap happens. If you remember, that's when it started in Philly - when Rosenhaus took over as his agent. Now, there was trouble before. Nothing I list herein is the SOLE reason for Terrel's troubles, but there is no doubt that he is manipulated, even victimized by leaches like Rosenhaus. Owens had a great thing going in Philly. Rosenhaus filled his head with a lot of stupid shiit - and you saw what happened.

 

Next, Terrell Owens is clearly bipolar. I have people that I love who are bipolar. It's not an insult. It's not a weakness. It's a sickness. It can be managed. There are meds for it. The best thing anybody could do for him is to get him into a treatment faciilty where they could stabilize his meds (takes a bit of experimentation) get him in counseling and get him on track. To my knowledge, nobody's done that. His friends, family, employers and agents take that hit. Mental health is still the big taboo. - Especially in the NFL. And unfortunately, that's the root of a lot of problematic behavior we see.

 

Last, the media is a pack of jackals. You take that combination above and add in the fact that you have 95 people surrounding you everywhere you go - baiting you, asking you leading questions, just waiting - KNOWING that you'll eventually snap and there WILL be a soundbite. And ESPN lives for that shiit - NEEDS that shiit. All those inane half-hour shows 8 hours a day BEG for content. - And T.O. provides "content". I wonder how well we'd do living like that. If I'm the next owner, Terrel's off limits. - And a gag order is in place for him. May or may not work, but setting him up there to fail is a sure bet he will.

 

Are there far worse things than being an occasionally bad teammate? GD sure there are. Harrison, Little, Lewis - they don't near the villany, near the scrutiny, near the investigation that Owens does. People can't WAIT for the next story. And unfortunately, when you take all of the above, there will be a next story.

 

In a lot of ways, I feel badly for the guy. Yeah, he's a millionaire. Yeah, he says some boneheaded things. Yeah, he's got all the money he'll ever need. Mental health, depression - doesn't give a shiit about your bank account. It's merciless and relentless. I owe my Dad a lot. I can't imagine what I'd be like without him. Terrell never had that. He's surrounded by media, agents and sycophants all living off of him one way or another. Now he's got some jerkoff selling him the idea of a reality show. - The last thing he needs. Seems like the guy doesn't have anyone really looking out for him. Yeah, he's a grown man. So was my brother. Age ain't no bulletproof shield.

 

Anyhoo, just wanted to get that off my chest. I'll be laughing and busting on him just like the rest of you guys again real soon.
