Cowboys cut T.O.

[53Fan]

Apparently there are some GM's in the league who share the same genetic defect or that POS SIDE- SHOW called T.O. would have been out of the league a few years ago.

Holt over TO anyday!!!!!! Holt is the consumate professional. I know it is unlikely we will go for him, but he might be a decent grab if the money isn't too steep, but of course it will probably be since the Haynesworth deal.

[CRedskinsRule]

I voted no, I maintain no, and I would not ever say anything except no.

BUT

Some team will say yes, and when they do their reason will be that TO will play lights out his first season, and they would be right. Then they will say that they have the personnel and staff to keep him happy/calm and they would be wrong!

My vote is that he will go to the Raiders, and finish his career there. (any tupa award available here?)

A Dallas reporter was asked if T.O. had failed during his time as a Cowboy. The reporter said that "T.O. had talked about bringing a championship to Dallas when he signed there and he did'nt, so in that regard yes" I'm paraphrasing but let's face it, they didn't even win a playoff game so really, how valuable is T.O.? Not that it all should be on his shoulders, but it's not like they were Detroit when he got there.

I'm betting this is getting to be very humbling to him or I atleast hope so. Yea you may be good T.O. but at some point when you burn too many bridges this is what happens.

PFT mentioned that either he goes to one of the teams left that has not commented whoever that maybe or he ends up with one of the teams who already said no but for a cheap price. Unfortunatly I had already thought of that meaning I hope his agent does not contact Snyder asking for him to do him a solid and hire T.O. on the cheap for a one year deal. I know the Skins said no but the agent and Snyder are always working together in some capacity to either drive up the cost on another player or rework contracts or picking up decent players.

Where is the vote for "HECK NO!"? Could the person, who put this poll up, please edit it and add the "HECK NO!" option. Thanks.

[rypper11]

Really? Almost 12% of people said yes? That's surprising.

NOOOO thanks to Team Obliterator...quote..Skip Bayless

From RI:

He says his friend is a waiter there and his friend knows what T.O. definitely looks like…not sure if I believe it though.



NEWSFLASH:
A good friend of mine works at Old Ebbett's Grill and told me that T.O. was eating there with an unnamed "Redskins official." This is totally thirdhand information but I lost a lot of sleep over it and felt the need to pass it on. Lets just hope he was in the throes of one of his many, many, acid flashbacks when he digested this intel.

I really wish i was sh*****g you guys.

Wait--sorry if you already clarified this, but was this yesterday? Or within the last few days? Old Ebbet's isn't exactly an anonymous, out-of-the way place to go eat--the only thing between Old Ebbet's and the WHITE HOUSE is the Treasury bldg. So, if TO showed up at Old Ebbit's during the same week he gets cut from the Cowboys, you'd have to admit that it would be EXTREMELY unlikely that reports of his presence would come from only, as you put it, third-hand sources.

Plus I heard he and Rosenshit were in Memphis allegedly meeting with the Titans.

How would this person have known it was a Redskins official that "Terrell Owens" was having lunch with?

So a waiter knew it was a Redskins Offical and decided to not say who it was? That would only make sense if it was a reporter with inside scoop not for some waiter.

^Perhaps the Redskins jacket. lol. JK.

[Ruhskins]

I was thinking about this T.O. situation and I believe that Roger Goodell needs to step in and either suspend T.O. or require that whoever signs him has some sort of behavior clause in the contract. I think this would send a strong message that being a jacka$$ in this league doesn't payoff. As much as I think that the environments that T.O. has been (in somewhat dysfunctional teams) have catered to his selfishness, I would hate to see him go to New England, do well, and act like nothing has happened.

I personally think Bill Belichick will take T.O. and they're going to blow up the league. And after destroying three franchises, T.O. will come out unscathed. If it is true that there are teams interested, it shows that this league is willing to let talented clowns continue with their antics.
