Proud to be a Cowboy

On March 18, 2006, When it was announced that wide receiver Terrell Owens had been signed to the Dallas Cowboys for a 3 year, $25 million dollar contract, I was floored with many feelings. Mostly fear. This is the man who (arguably) single handedly destroyed two NFL franchises, degraded his quarterback in both cases, and left on bad terms both times. I was so afraid, that this was a bull in a china shop, a time bomb that had been passed off to the team I hold so sacred and dear to my heart, only left to detonate at any moment destroying my beloved Dallas Cowboys. I knew the media hype already LOVED us so much, this could only make it better. I tried to imagine the media circus we were facing. Needless to say I was not happy that this man, the man who cared only about himself, whose ego was bigger than his paycheck, would be joining my team.
That man was not present this Sunday. T Over the years, Terrell Owens has established himself as "flash", a greedy individual whose only concern was winning and big contracts. He carried so much baggage with him from town to town, that it became more difficult each time to take his word. Nearly two years later, I feel proud to call Terrell Owens a Dallas Cowboy
I truly believe that when Terrell gave his statement at the end of Sunday's game, words have never flown more freely from his heart. As he spoke, it was clear that he stood not for himself, not for a winning season. He stood for the Dallas Cowboys
The Terrell Owens that stood before us and cried for the sake of his teammate and friend on Sunday, is not the T.O. who made waves in Philly. He is not the same T.O. who rubbed Jeff Garcia the wrong way. The product of environment? Maybe. A new outlook on life? Possible.
Moving on to Skip Bayless. I'm not sure how many of you caught his enlightening and insightful interview Monday....
According to Skip, Terrell Owens was anything but genuine in his post game remarks, and his 'acting' skills were laughable. This is further proof that once you establish a history, or 'Track Record' rather, it is difficult, if not impossible to get away from ever. What hope does the rest of the world have, if change is impossible?
I am a Dallas Cowboys fan. I love the Dallas Cowboys... And Terrell Owens is on the top of that list.

Re: Proud to be a Cowboy

Ok, so this is from the blog of a "Starstruck Cowboy fan." But it does express some of what I feel and have said. Not all, but some. (I will criticize anyone if I think they have it coming, Cowboy or not)
But I dont think TO has coming what so many people are trying to give him.
