Do We Really Expect Anything Else from T.O.?
Owens Says He Won’t Be Wishing McNabb Well
You know, there are sports “bad boys” (Michael Irvin, David Wells, Warren Sapp, to name a few), but then there are just plain jerks.

No Kool Aid Zone?
drink the Kool-Aid - to accept an argument or philosophy blindly.
This phrase comes from the 1978 "Jonestown massacre" in which most members of the Peoples Temple cult, blindly following their leader Jim Jones, committed suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.Radically Tolerant - of all people, irrespective of race, faith, circumstance. As a person, you will be treated with the respect and dignity you deserve as an individual created in the image of God.
Radically Intolerant - of slipshod reasoning, emotion without intellectual substance, bad ideas, lazy thinking, cowardly ad hominem attacks, the preposterous notion that 9/11 is some government conspiracy (proceed directly to the Loony Bin; do not pass "Go"; do not collect $200), the designated hitter, and the Dallas Cowboys.

…and then there are guys who give jerks a bad name. That’s where I put T.O.

It’s too bad. He was actually kind of clever in his brashness back in the day with the pom-poms and the sharpie and even the mocking of the stupid hole in Cowboys stadium. Then he just turned all ego-centric and nasty. And then he had that near heroic performance with the Eagles in the Super Bowl and if he had been smart, he could have turned himself into a good guy star of the NFL. Instead he wasted all those good vibes and now is the uber-villian of the NFL. Kind of like the US after 9-11.
Sadly his Cowboys are hitting their groove right now and look like as good as bet as anyone in the NFC for going to the Super Bowl. Sheesh.

Sadly, is right. Altho I just can’t see the Cowboys, hot as they are right now, making it. The Bears should beat them, particularly if they’ll bench Rex Grossman and hand the keys to Brian Griese.

blah blah blah SPORTS TEAM blah blah blah blah ATHLETE NAME blah blah blah blah blah blah IMPORTANT GAME.
That’s what I read. Let’s talk about a real sport, like NASCAR! I love watching billboards drive in circles for hours on end.

Hand the keys????
Byron, all of life is not about NASCAR.
Almost all of life, but not all.
Hefe doesn’t get it, they are not driving in circles. If it was circles then it would be pretty much not a sport.

Oh no.
Why do we bring up sports topics on here if you’re going to follow them up with ridiculous bad ideas like ever letting Brian Griese touch a football again and then changing the subject from sports to NASCAR?
Terrible.

Please tell me you’re not a believer in Rex Grossman. Please.

What has Griese done since he was at Michigan to convince you he is any better than Grossman?
gurufrisbee ~ Nov 30, 2006 at 10:16 am
Griese’s no superstar, but his most recent semi-full season as a starter in Tampa Bay was a pretty nice year. I just have no confidence that Rex Grossman will get it done when it’s really on the line; gut feeling, maybe, more than anything else.

At this point Griese is basically the exact same thing you saw last year from Orton. He doesn’t make anything special happen – he’s a caretaker on offense. But worse than Orton, he’s the biggest fumbler in the league. Grossman makes mistakes, but he makes them trying to make big plays. Too many and you will lose, but if you keep it down and make those plays with that defense, you blow people out – even good teams. And they are rolling to the #1 spot in the NFC – which means Grossman needs to just put together three good games and the first two at home. He can do that – Griese could not.
