Nope, not a doctor, but I can read. I can read where those that are health care professionals have opined similarly. I guess the fact that I'm not a doctor disqualifies me from considering that some doctors may have a point. Sorry to waste the space.

Just damb.

Ahhhh.... now why get like that?....It was a noble and note worthy effort, and I will guarantee you that not everyone has my take on things...so its not wasted space...just ask Marc or Simple Simon...

...though my point was a simple one...given you are not in the profession...you have a layman's take on it...just like I do...or anyone else that ventures in for their two cents worth...no need to twist my words beyond that...that would be bad form in this informal debate of ours...

...alas, I would hesitate to nail TO to the proverbial cross based on a layman's take...no?...yes?...maybe?...

but hey, he is not the first person we have convicted in the court of public opinion here...

Finally, I would say that for all your fine observation, and highly welcomed vocabulary, the fact that you would rule out the media's role totally, would make the take myopic at best...but hey what do I know...

[etodd]

I ruled out nothing. I get just a tad annoyed when the first explanation offered for anyone's bad behavior is "its everyone else fault for noticing." <---(general, not specifically you)

fwiw the source of the symptoms listed previously can be found here:

Borderline Personality Disorder

Oddly enough, it was authored by a doctor. And although it has nothing to do with football and possibly only peripherally with the Titans (management), THIS DOCTOR states "these common mental disorders are legitimate illnesses that are responsive to specific treatments. Yet only one-third of people with severe mental illness are ever treated."

In other words, although you believe there is no problem, other than the one created by fans and the media, it is quite possible that there is more to it. On at least on 2 other occasions, individuals who have observed the misunderstood one closer than you or I have suggested just that to Mr. Owens.

I don't mean to beat a dead horse to a bloody pulp and walk the puddle dry, but I can agree that you and I do not on this.

GO ELI!

Gee, you have not been around long enough...for if you examine other posts you will know that I think TO has issue...however I do not agree that they are severe enough to warrant medical intervention...though I am sure you could find a slew of medical professional more than happy to classify half of our population as "bi-polar" or suffering from ADD etc...

...And while I am sure that the article was authored by a professional… The application of it to TO in this case...is...ah...being conducted by a layman. Furthermore (for is the horse truly and completely dead, I ask you?), I’m sure where I to want to...I could find a varied array of professional opinion in this case.

...as to the case of responsibility and accountabilities for our actions...Lets add that it would be naive at best to by pass the media in its entirety on this issue. TO is not the circus, just the performer...the circus is that which has formed around him. Given that he does have a non stop circus around him, and the conditions are far from normal, I would further concluded that it is not the "normal set of conditions" that could be used in a proper examination of his mental state...thus at best the results would be high inconclusive.


Having said all that…(and given you my rather “biased “ opinion for I am both a Cowboy and a TO fan)…I think we will get along great…I like your style and your ability to back up your point…Welcome aboard…

T.O. isn't what you guys should be worried about. The Dallas defense is what's going to give you guys nightmares. For those of you who aren't familiar with DeMarcus Ware, you will be after Sunday. Good news for you guys is that the Dallas D will probably end up doing you guys a favor and knocking out Collins.

[reflex615]

I know that's right Ware. They already said that the Titans have problems with the 3-4 Defense. Dallas is going to come in here and Sack the QB , I promise you. We will be having to come back from behind then that's when desperation kicks in but it's too late. Why? Because the Dallas Def will have done it's home work on our simple to read plays. We've always had problems protecting the QB. Yes we have other issues but it all starts up front. Getting rid of Brad Hopkins was a good move. I can remember setting and watching a game telling my friend, "Watch them come from 72's side and low and behold a sac on Air McNair because Hopkins can't do his mother fing J. O. B." Our front 4 must get better. We need to draft HONGRY STUD Guards and Tackles. Somebody big who can give Vince Young Time to get his arm skills down instead of his legs. We shouldn't have to have a running QB all the time. Why can't Vince set in the pocket like Palmer, Manning, or Brady. I'm done complaining .

welcome aboard Ware...you think that highly of Big D's defense huh? How are these guys at producing turnovers, I got them in one of my fantasy leagues and so far they have been average at best?

[Ware#94]

I have to admit that they could be much better at creating turnovers. I dont think they are the best D in the league or anything but I do believe that they are young and have the potential to be a top 3 defense this year. Good luck on Sunday.
