T.O. fined $9500 by the Cowboys

[Tom [Giants fan]]

This can only get better for the other teams of the NFC East.

[The-Rock]

Wow. I figured that when T.O. signed with Dallas and everyone was saying he would cause a lot of trouble, it would mean that T.O. just to prove us wrong would actually give the Cowboys 2 good years before causing trouble. It isnt even the season yet and they are having some problems with him...the relationship between the two may not last long...

[DWinzit]

"The Player" huh? Who would have ever seen this coming?;)



T.O. TIMELINE

Some of Terrell Owens' comings and goings since the start of training camp:

July 26: Drives from Los Angeles to greet team at Naval Air Station Point Mugu

July 28: One of four people named as a witness to a June 10 bar fight in Dallas

July 29: Last player on the field for first practice before a record crowd of 5,500

Aug. 2: Misses first practice with sore hamstring

Aug. 4: MRI conducted on left hamstring

Aug. 5: Misses scrimmage

Aug. 7: Fan accuses T.O. of faking injury while he signs autographs

Aug. 7: Says he's flying three of his own medical professionals and his hyperbaric chamber to help heal him and rules himself out for preseason opener

Aug. 9: Wears a blue Team Discovery cycling jersey and a silver biking helmet on exercise bike, which he's been riding during practice for a week

Aug. 12: Misses preseason opener against Seattle; owner Jerry Jones says Owens needs to learn to practice at 75-80 percent

Aug. 16: Returns to practice

Aug. 19: Ruled out for second preseason game against New Orleans

Aug. 21: Misses New Orleans game

Aug. 22: Says too many practice repetitions aggravated hamstring injury and misses practice

Aug. 25: Misses meeting and is fined

[ArmchairRedskin]

Yeah, but didn't Steve Smith and Hines Ward do the same thing? Why pick on Terrell?

[Ken]

Don't worry guys....

Week 1, everyone is 0-0!

LOL!

That was easy...

Ask Bubba....lol..

[Tastes Like Chicken]

TO is a primadonna. He thinks that he's special, so he doesn't need to practice like everyone else. He just wants to play on Sunday and score TD's. Even if this was true, Parcells will never grant preferential treatment because of his philosophy. TO should order Parcells' "Brokeback Yard Drills" video set, and he'd learn his new coach's tendencies...

[ArmchairRedskin]

Ask Bubba....lol..



Bubba's not in this thread. Maybe you should stay on topic.

[SlinginSammy HOF '63]

the whole bicycle thing with the helmet just reinforces the fact that he's an attention whore. how retarded

[tr1]

Doesn't this timeline look familiar? The press had tons of these while he was in Philly.

If he's skipping meetings, he should be cut.

I love you Ken. Why do you say such mean things to me?

I watched the Redskins last night...spent most of the night posting in the Stadium. But I always have time for the pukes, Eagles and Giants.

Don't you think TO should be cut if he continues to miss meetings? I wouldn't hesitate to call one of our players a malcontent and ask for his release if he did the same thing.

Are you ready to do the same?

[DWinzit]

Parcells doesn't have the power to cut TO. No other player in Parcells history would have ever got away with all these events (dramas).

Very true Ken.
Will TO still be a Cowboy by week 1?

Have you forgotten about someone named LT?

[jeronimobrat]

Well, I find this to be a little confusing because if T.O. is indeed skipping meetings, then how in the world is he supposed to earn the "Fat Tuna's" trust or better yet prepare himself for these opposing defenses?

Although these things have nothing to do with T.O.'s world- one would still think with him being in his first year with Dallas, he would be competent.

The thought of cutting TO has crossed my mind several times.

There is a part of me that say, just cut him and give the Pats a 1 for Branch.

THen, there is another part that says, in the grand scheme of things, these incidents are trivial and I want to see him paired with Glenn and Witten.

We will see. I will really be nervous if he is doing this stuff once the season starts.

One thing that won't make it trivial is TO.

I've noticed over the years, that when money issues become involved, that's when he becomes most resolved in his behavior.

If you don't cut him now...while you have a very good reason...it will haunt you for the season.

Tom, see the thread on Tuna's soft underbelly for a response!

[Larry Brown #43]

I could be wrong here, but isn't there some clause in the collective bargaining agreement that says you can only cut a player for performance reasons, or something like that? In other words, you can't cut somebody for being a jack***?

So maybe they can't cut him just for his antics. I thought sure there was something along these lines inserted into the new CBA. Maybe someone here can clarify...

You can cut anybody at anytime, that has not changed. I think the new wrinkle in the CBA has whether you have to pay him. I think it was in reference to the Bucs deactivating Keshawn and not paying him for the rest of the year (similar to TO last year). Now, you have to have a proven reason to deactivate someone and not take away their season.

[HeHateMe]

Yeah, but didn't Steve Smith and Hines Ward do the same thing? Why pick on Terrell?

Exactly.

I actually appreciate that hes being treated like just another player with respect to what theyve done here.

[Bryan_Randall]

Wait, we should cut a guy for skipping a meeting? If that happened there would probably be a crapload of free agents...

[Who Del]

Has T.O. responded yet? To all Cowboy fans:

Don't take this sort of thing likely. T.O. hates a fine. I know from experience. :(

[tr1]

When you start playing with his wallet, you'll get burned. Ooops...too late.

He has family to take care of, after all....(see Eagles 2005) :laugh:

[Gilgamesh]

Sounds like the honeymoon and the marriage are over...

[barens2]

']Have you forgotten about someone named LT?

The difference there is that LT played for Parcells ever since he was a rookie. Parcells put a lot more trust into LT, and LT always put it all out there. Just a huge difference in attitudes.

[JoeSkins]

Yeah, but didn't Steve Smith and Hines Ward do the same thing? Why pick on Terrell?

Smith and Ward aren't with a new team, in a new system, and fresh off a demolition of another football team. They're the leaders of their teams, not the new guys with the bad reps. The injury may be the same, but the behavioir hasn't. When did Smith or Ward do something to call attention to themselves like the ridiculous tour-jersey stunt? They just sit back in hoodies and watch.

Associated Press


IRVING, Texas -- Terrell Owens has finally pushed the Dallas Cowboys too far, drawing a $9,500 fine for missing a team meeting and a rehabilitation session and being late to an offensive meeting, The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday.



AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez
T.O. has spent more time on the sidelines than in uniform during the preseason.
"That's our club business. That's going to be accounted for," team owner Jerry Jones told the newspaper.

The incidents occurred Friday, the team's final day preparing for a preseason game against San Francisco. The Cowboys beat the 49ers 17-7, making them 3-0 this preseason without Owens playing any of the games because of a hamstring injury that's also kept him out of 19 of 31 practices since the start of training camp.

Neither team officials nor Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, immediately returned calls to The Associated Press seeking comment Sunday.





Bloody mary for your skins hangover from last night. It will be amusing to watch Dallas self destruct this year. Now we need to get our **** together.

Oh quit being so bitter. Anytime anyone says something positive about another team, you say its "trolling". You really come off as a bitter schoolboy.

Grow up dude. This is "around the nfl" section. Where other teams are discussed.

Obviously, it's nothing to be condoned or spun into something positive, but you people are acting incredibly over the top ridiculous. He didn't go, he was fined by the team, situation handled. The only reason this is front page news is because of the name Terrell Owens.

Would you guys call for the release of Sean Taylor if he skipped a team meeting? No, because that would be retarded. It's not like Taylor has ever skipped anything mandatory in his pro career </oh wait yes he has>.

A $10k fine, and situation handled? After all you've seen of Owens, you think this will be the end of that? He only cares about money, and getting as much as he can. The whole reason he blew up the Eagles was because he didn't think a $49 million contract was good enough.

Taylor's got problems, everyone knows it. I try not to defend him, but I also wouldn't put the rookie symposium on the same level as a team meeting. Orientation for the NFL? It's a joke. A team meeting is necessary. I don't agree with the cut-him-pundits, but the fine had to be sent down.

That's the point BR......it's TO, everything he does draws top media attention and NFL fan attention. I think Jerry brought him in b/c not only is he a good WR but he's a media darling just like Deion was. If TO farts, does not ESPN want to smell it?

Jones,Parcells and the Cowboy fans shouldn't be suprised......TO needs and wants attention, the media needs/wants ratings. What gets ratings controversial asine stuff that TO does. You guys knew what you were getting so it shouldn't be a big deal to you all if everybody is talking about TO.

Terrell Owens at it again; Oddsmaker downgrades Cowboys
http://www.gambling911.com/Terrell-Owens-Cowboys-082706.html
Terrell Owens appears to be up to his old tricks once again, this before he's even played a single regular season game with the Dallas Cowboys.

Ownes drew a $9,500 fine for missing a team meeting and a rehabilitation session and being late to an offensive meeting, The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday.

"That's our club business. That's going to be accounted for," team owner Jerry Jones told the newspaper.

As a result of these distractions and uncertainties surrounding the Dallas Cowboys franchise, oddsmakers have downgraded the team's odds of winning a Super Bowl in 2007.

SportsInteraction.com had Dallas with the 5th best chance of winning a Super Bowl. Single digit odds have turned into 15.00 or approximately 15 to 1 odds at the sports betting firm. Pittsburgh, Seattle, Carolina, Indianapolis and New England all have better odds with Denver having the same odds as Dallas.

at least until Dallas gives the Skins the customary yearly beatdowns.

Those were some great beat downs you guys gave us last year....... ;)
Actually, there are some pretty solid Dallas fans that I respect on this board.....you're not one of them.

I will say this in all honesty.
You guys DON'T need TO. Hurd, Crayton and Glenn (not counting the others) have been pretty impressive. Why keep a guy that gives your HC a headache?
Again, I'm with you, keep TO and let him play Philly Eagles again. :applause:

This is great news!

Philthy will obviously still be reeling with the aftermath of Hurricane T.O. and whether McFlabb will be recovered from his McRibb injury.

Now, Dallas appears to be a ship at sea that has just been T.O.rpedoed and is taking on water!

This is to T.O.! Thanks for taking down another NFC-East franchise! :cheers:

[roanoker]

This couldnt happen to a better team. The Tuna & Jerry show marches on!

[#1SkinsFan]

Neither has Owens.

Do the 49ers and Eagles ring a bell? Everyone in their right mind knows TO wrecked both of those teams.

[NoCalMike]

Here's the question though. In a showdown of egos, who blinks first, Bill Parcells or Jerry Jones?

As good as the Cowboys have looked thus far in preseason, lets not forget this is basically the same WR core they had last season +Terrell Owens. With his behaivor thus far, before the season has even begun, you could almost figure Parcells wants nothing to do with him already, but then you have Jerry Jones who isn't confident the Cowboys can be a contender without TO.......so if Parcells was ready to get rid of him, but Jones wanted him.....who would win out?

[ArmchairRedskin]

Yes, its been very tough thus far

3-0 so far

13-3 W
30-7 W
17-7 W



Wow, one more and you'll be undefeated in meaningless games! :applause:

I'd honestly just cut my losses with TO if I were Parcels and Jones. I really would, right now, before it gets too crazy. Lets hope they don't and keep him around.

[tr1]

I'm trying to find a story of the pukes recap last night, and all I can find are TO STORIES!!! Imagine that.

[FuriousD]

So youre telling me he will never do any wrong again?

No problems at all from here on out?

There are no guarantees. We all know that.

And well, we haven't seen ST's agent on TV rabidly trying to defend his clients latest transgretions yet so, until that happens I personally wouldn't put ST anywhere in or near the same circus that surrounds the King of Cancerville.

On a side note: The Redskins drafted Taylor. When he came here he was "clean". He obviously has screwed up some but is still working under the same rookie contract.

Now, the brokeback boys actively went out and invited the King of Cancerville to join them! Threw a lot of money at him to join them! See the difference?

:helmet:

[Arsenic]

I think the Cowboys have enough talent on their offense to just cut TO.

I think it would be good for their team and good for the league.
TO has some phsychological problems or something, and I think he needs to seek some counceling.

Jerry Jones needs to make a decision, does he want Bill Parcells or TO.

Despite the preseason victories, all isn't well in big D, right now.

[Arsenic]

I think TO is secretly working for Dan Snyder. First the destruction of the Eagles 2006 season, and now Owens is working his magic in Dallas.

If he ends up in New York next year... :paranoid:

[WeownU]

Wow, one more and you'll be undefeated in meaningless games! :applause:

There only meaningless when you lose. You've spent enough time here to know that.

[ArmchairRedskin]

They're meaningless because they don't count and most established coaches use preseaon for player evaluations. Scores take a back seat to that. The only coaches that care about preseason wins are ones that are either brand new or on the bubble and are trying to impress the front office. You oughta know that.

[SWFLSkins]

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Now thats funny !!!!!!!


What is funny is that TO will be riding a stationary bike when the sky is falling in Dallas.

[sith lord]

']Have you forgotten about someone named LT?

You beat me to the punch.

The score is meanlingless sure. But you said it yourself its about player evaluations. Just how would you evaluate your players thus far?

Brunell looks shaky
O line looks shaky
Lloyd's hands shake like kathryn hepburns head
D line looks shaky
Arch looks like he's looking for the nearest bank to deposit one of his big checks instead of looking for tight ends going over the middle.

Spin it anyway you want. You want your team to look like it can execute in the preseason, nobody cares about the final score.

I'm sure the skins aren't near as bad as the last 3 games have played out, but even so, in the NFC East, you can't afford to get off to a slow start. I know you did last year and it worked out for you pretty good, but not this year. No way. The teams are just too good.

There's a better than average chance that a wildcard team doesn't come out of our division just because of how competitive the East will be. None of the teams can afford to come out slow.

That's all well and good, but we haven't come out slow. It's preseason. We lose three games in the season, then you might have a point.

As you know, there are gameplans put in place in the regular season. It's not about putting players in certain situations and seeing how they react then, it's about putting the players you have in the best position to win. Two totally different goals.

In 2004, for instance, Gregg Williams specifically said that he was gonna put the corners out there with no help against the Rams in preseason. We got toasted. Come season time, we had one of the best secondaries in the league.


You can believe what you want, but if you think this preseason is any indicator of the team you'll see in the regular season you're gonna be in for a shock.


Besides any of this, you were beating your chest over wins, so don't try to deflect.



Yes, its been very tough thus far

3-0 so far

13-3 W
30-7 W
17-7 W

[bubba9497]

going 3-0 in preseason means what?

get a ring for it?

Get tie breaker points?

homefield advantage?

why is it every year you have team with winning pre-season who look great have losing regular season records and vice versa?

[SWFLSkins]

Obviously, it's nothing to be condoned or spun into something positive, but you people are acting incredibly over the top ridiculous. He didn't go, he was fined by the team, situation handled. The only reason this is front page news is because of the name Terrell Owens.

Would you guys call for the release of Sean Taylor if he skipped a team meeting? No, because that would be retarded. It's not like Taylor has ever skipped anything mandatory in his pro career </oh wait yes he has>.


If that is all TO had done that would be one thing, you make it sound so meaningless. Had Sean Taylor missed 19 of 31 practices after a non-confirmed injury and then skipped a meeting, yes I would want him fined and any further action would be handled accordingly(released). Let's see how you spin the next TO faux pas. You act like Jerry Jones thought this is all okay, I doubt he feels this way. But go ahead and believe TO is an angel for all I care. It is laughable, and I doubt it gets any better for your team.

[SWFLSkins]

Everything Dallas related is considered "laughable" in the warped reality of the typical Redskins fan... at least until Dallas gives the Skins the customary yearly beatdowns. Then it's pain and sorrow and agony until a new year starts up where everything Dallas related once again gets twisted and becomes hilarious. It's a cycle.

Living in the past I see(warped reality, thats the best one). The beatdowns have changed hands, unless you have stopped watching. And speaking of cycles, how is that cycle on the sideline working out for TO? Getting his timing down with Bledsoe yet?

You know why you Cowboy fans are laughable, because when you signed TO all were saying how "he got his money, and now he will behave", yeah model citizen huh>? The Cowboys did not need TO to come and screw up team chemistry, but you keep up with the party line. TO is great, in fact he is the greatest, he did not wreck two teams, no he hurt one, and destroyed the other. Dallas better get a handle on this, before the season starts.

[SWFLSkins]

He's played in one meaningful game since then.

If thats youre idea of maturation to the point of reformation, well, then I dont know what to say.

As for T.O., not much to regress from the point we signed him.


OMG, your on this board everyday and you have not seen one post or thread complaining about ST missing time, practice or meetings. Gibbs has openly praised him, he actually took a plea deal that you or I would not have to put that behind him. And don't even go into the DA and the trial, it was bogus as proved out.

As for TO regressing, what happened to his great return as a team player and not causing any trouble, "he got his money" right? The new TO, just like the old one with a new location.

[BIGJoeSalave'a]

Here's the question though. In a showdown of egos, who blinks first, Bill Parcells or Jerry Jones?
.......so if Parcells was ready to get rid of him, but Jones wanted him.....who would win out?

I surely wish that Jerry Jones will win over Parcells and continuosly keeps TO.
We need to be able to enjoy this showdown of egos drama until the end of this season. This is just the middle of chapter 2. I personally like to enjoy at least 10 Chapters.
