Would you accept TO?

hooskins · 03-17-2006, 12:38 AM

Ok so now that TO is 99.9% on the Dallas Cowboys, I pose a question. If you were a Dallas fan would you accept TO, after he disrespected your entire francise(star incident)? Actually let me change that;if any of us were Cowboys fans, we would probably kill ourselves

. Lets say TO did the star thing at our stadium midfield. Would you ever accept this player on your team? I was shocked at this Cowboys forum, because there were a good amount of people that had changed their avatars to TO ones, and were super excited about him. As a true fan, I would never ever accept a player on my team of that nature, after he did something like that. I understand he might help them win, but real fans know that winning is great, but not everything. Real fans know that being a real fan is having respect for your team, and getting TO is not respectful towards the Cowboys. What would guys do?

This is the equivalent of Deion coming to the Skins, I wouldn't like it one bit if I were a Cowboys fan.

SkinEmAll · 03-17-2006, 12:44 AM

exactly! i think he will do something for the fans to be accepted and then start being his sorry ass self again.

Very true, but Deion did not do anything like TO did right(refering to star incident), so I think that would make TO worst. Atleast I think he didnt, right?

Here is the difference -- Deion was an egomaniac, but he was a team guy. TO is a team killer.

This is the ultimate team sport. The team that signs TO will have a worse record in 2K7 than they did in 2K6.

I would hang myself if TO came here.

I'd bet there would be alot of you guys kissing his butt and posting thing like....maybe he needs another chance, or maybe Gibbs can straighten him out, or i think he learned his lesson. And it would be tempting for me to think that way also because the lure of winning is so great.

Here's a nice thought - The only reason TO is even in the news is because his skills are so great, but what happens when he loses a step (and he's no spring chicken). He'll probably never get the chance to have a long career because nobody is going to take a chance on him when he can't score 15 TD's a year...........unless they want him as a mentor too their younger players....haha

and thats why the eagles did so well and ssuspended him last year?

he's a TOTAL loser. he has talent, but he can't beat 10 other guys by himself, and somehow, through all these years, he still doesn't get that.

SmootSmack · 03-17-2006, 03:00 AM

Everything around him has to be perfect for TO to play well and be productive on and off the field. If the smallest thing goes wrong the last person to try to remedy that situation and give the team a lift is TO. He'll give the "Look at me. Look how I suffer" speech and bring the situation down even more.

RedskinPete · 03-17-2006, 03:35 AM

TO is a team killer!!!! You might win....you might win for a season...maybe win it all....but at some point he will burn the team to the ground! Look at 49ers and Eagles after he left. Still three a charm and if he has to kill someone it might as well be the Boys!!!

Hog1 · 03-17-2006, 06:28 AM

If you DON"T "invite" him in your practice facility, he can't hurt you. Keep your crucifix close (just in case)

Luxorreb · 03-17-2006, 06:40 AM

Hell NO to TO!!!
So glad the skins didn't make an offer.
Watch whoever get him drowned in sorrow.

SC Skins Fan · 03-17-2006, 07:57 AM

Definitely glad the Skins did not make an offer to TO, but I don't know that he will kill the team he signs with the FIRST year. Remember it took him a whole season to self destruct in Philly . . . hopefully it implodes on the 'Boys but I think he might tow the line for a time and he is about 4 times the receiver Keyshawn is. Too bad there won't be any place to hide against the Skins secondary with Taylor and Archuleta lurking . . .

BrudLee · 03-17-2006, 08:00 AM

It's hard to imagine. If I was a Dallas fan, I'd probably accept Owens, but I'd also be married to my cousin.

What has he ever won? What team has he ever put on his shoulders? The year the Eagles went to the Super Bowl, T.O. didn't even play through the final few games of the regular season and all of the playoffs.

What T.O. has consistently done, however, is create turmoil and havoc for any team he's played for, and burn every bridge he's ever crossed.
