Re: T.O Sleeps During Team Meeting
 

he gets crucified because he has no professionalism, he creates scenes, he throws tantrums, he sticks his foot in his mouth, and he cares only about his stats and how much he's getting paid.

how can you possibly think he's the victim in all this? get real.

and chad johnson is goofy, TO is malicious, surely you can tell the difference. if not - which one was ready to throw down when his QB got hurt, and which one called one of his QB's gay an the other one tired?

Re: T.O Sleeps During Team Meeting
 

Very funny but not too big of a deal. I mean i fall asleep in class and i think it is the same thing. I do find it funny he is crediting it to a disorder. Also this wouldn't be a big deal if it was anyother player. I can't believe they got a quote from jerry jones. If it was anyother player they would never ask the owner about it.

Re: T.O Sleeps During Team Meeting
 

[quote=Rexi;238742]He wanted a trade, is that all that bad? Even great players have wanted that in their career's, Jerry Rice for one. TO is obviously very motivated to get a ring and I don't blame him for wanting to go somewhere where that would be possible because at the time looking at our salary cap situation it was clear that we weren't going to be competitive for a while.[/quote]
i think your facts are misleading. the niners knew rice was thru, and wanted him to retire. rice thought otherwise, and was released. i hardly think Owens was at the end when he left Frisco. and the part about the ring is a joke. hell, the eagles and Owens were playing in the super bowl, the season before, and all he was worried was getting paid. so don't give me that line of shit about Owens wanting a ring

Re: T.O Sleeps During Team Meeting
 

[quote=Rexi;238682]So because he isn't a shy person he's guilty? The media asks him these outrageous questions and he answers them the best he can, sometimes in a brutally honest manner. What he is guilty of is not being too 'touchy-feely' in the way he phrases some things. But what can he do when the media makes firestorms out of crap like being late to one meeting and falling asleep in film session. He's only freaking human...[/quote]

C'mon dude just stop.

There's no defending this guy, he's an attention whore and brings alot of this crap on himself.

I really can't believe a 49er fan of all people is trying to defend him.

News flash for ya, TO is freaking crazy.

If that's the way you see things then believe it. I choose not to buy the slanted jounalism that takes place around him.

It's not right for TO to say some of the things but his intent is only as malicious as the many other players in the league who have also said bonehead things. TO's comments are just always blown out of proportion. I don't understand where all the hate comes from.

Re: T.O Sleeps During Team Meeting
 

Guess you probably missed TO's "look at me" penalty after his TD today. I suppose that's just the media blowing him out of proportion.

Aww, come on Matty..TO is just misunderstood. Why would you think he is a spotlight seeking, cancer that will wreck every team he is ever on? I mean, everyone is entitled to a little rest. It shouldn't matter to his coaches or his TEAMMATES that he gets his rest at the expense of the team. How harsh.

I am sick of these high paid crybaby attention seeking pieces of crap continue to show their a$$. Damn. Go out there and play football and shut up. THAT'S what they pay you for.

I sure miss the days of Art Monk. He was a class act.

Re: T.O Sleeps During Team Meeting
 

hey rexi, what do you have to say about the dropped balls by owens today? pretty much cost the cowboys a win. a very high priced receiver like owens shouldnt keep dropping balls. maybe on the downside of his career?

Re: T.O Sleeps During Team Meeting
 

I was going to start a The Official T.O. is overated thread. But I think it's becoming more appearant this guy is overated.

TO was sleeping during the the part about catching an easy TD pass. Of course, it's a classic "eye for an eye" what with Keyshawn dropping an easy TD catch against Dallas last week.

The question is: Will someone comment about that catch thus ensuring a pissed-off TO? We still need the NFC teams (all of them) to lose as much as possible......That will go down as one of the biggest understatements of the year.

No it was a mistake. Wasn't the first time a player has gotten penalized for it though, under the ridiculous new rules of course.

I wouldn't say it cost the whole team a win though he should have made the play the team lost the game. The Cowboys need to draw up more WCO style slants to utilize TO's abilities to the fullest IMO.

If you don't understand why T.O. is "misunderstood," then you are definately drunk. Incidents involving T.O. get blown out of proportion because he has such a LONG history of causing controversy, including screaming at coaches, causing fights in locker rooms, throwing teammates under the bus at every turn, acting like a fool in the endzone, falling asleep in team meetings and the list goes on and on. Any one of these incidents isn't such a big deal, but his football "rap sheet" is a mile long.

You, my friend, are losing credibility. You seem to be the protoypical black/white and right/wrong poster; there is not room for grey. Brandon Lloyd is the worst receiver ever, T.O. has done nothing wrong, etc. Ridiculous stuff man.

LOL that pretty much sums it up right there.

It's hard to take someone who thinks like that seriously.
