They also cite a source w/ knowledge of the situation, but I agree it's a little weird.

Hooskins, you frequent the Cowboys site, you are reporting news from a local Dallas channel, and report free agent about the Cowboys yet you are from Chantilly???

Haha, I have a buddy at dallascowboyszone, and he called me when the news was released, so I reported it here. I joined that forum bc it is fun to watch their fans get torn apart by this TO issue. But yeah, I am a college student down at UVa (hence the HOOskins), but I reside in Chantilly, VA, right outside Redskins Park. Maybe I should say Chantilly/Charlottesville.

Anyways what I think is that the station did get an early leak, but the other stations cannot confirm it, so they will deny it. My guess is that come Monday, TO will be in a Cowboys jersey, and prancing across the star at Texas Stadium. If TO's people are denying it then I suspect it is because they do not know if they are allowed to let the info leak or not. Basically TO's people and the other stations are playing it safe for now.

ESPN just reported a short while ago that the Cowboys' organization is denying it.

Either way, so what?

They still don't have a QB who can remain upright long enough to throw the ball.

Defensewins · 03-16-2006, 11:41 PM

Even if they get TO as long as the have Bledsoe at QB they will never make it past the first round of the playoffs; if they even make it that far.
Bledsoe takes too long with the ball and gets sacked a ton. Kind of reminds of another controversial QB. Makes too many mistakes and can't handle the pressure to win the big game.

Some Cowboy fan at dallascowboyszone says he called into the station and they confirmed the report. He said the guy at the station sounded like he was tired of recieving calls about TO. Basically means that what is on the site was actually put up by the station, and the site was not hacked.

Regardless of whether this story ends up being confirmed or denied, it looks like there is some major angst in Dallas:

Yeah I just called the news station in Lubbork, and they confirmed it. They have an insider with the Cowboys, and the intial denial from ESPN has been changed. ESPN is now reporting/will report that TO has signed. He was a really nice guy, and he was a Packers fan, so we were laughing how TO is gonna destroy the Cowboys.

That Guy · 03-17-2006, 12:08 AM

they must have given a big check to get him to sign this quickly... I'd like a confirm though when its available.

It is confirmed, ESPN should have it on now or shortly. Ok let me clarify, I talked to some guy at the news station, and he said they know that ESPN will confirm it now or shortly.

Wow. You called the station. That's going above and beyond the call of duty to make sure you posted a legit story here. Nicely done
