Everyone's favorite station has blown this way, way out of proportion.
Blown which event out of proportion?
When he mocked Garcia as an alleged homosexual?
Or when he said Favre would fix the problems in the McNabb led offense?
When he got suspended from the eagles?
When he was run out of philadelphia?
When he spit on deangelo hall?
There is an endless list of incidents, at three different franchises.
Consider it. A player has the same desire, and yells at his coach, his teammate.
You're right, that does make him sound pretty terrible.
You haven't ever been in a professional sports situation that resembles his, but it is his choice to voice his opinion.
Well if we're going to play that card, then your opinion is unqualified as well... so why should we listen?
There are plenty of individuals in professional sports situations that act like professionals.
However, throughout his "flamboyant" career, there has been one common denominator.
He's never failed to throw one of his teammates/coaches under the bus? Oh, you weren't looking for that defining characteristic.
Guess who publicized every story, from his anger at the organization to what brand of TP he uses? Thats right, ESPN.
Yes, ESPN is an enabler to TO's vitriolic tongue... but that doesn't excuse his behavior.
What makes TO different from other receivers?
He runs his mouth about not getting enough passes in games where he drops crucial passes
TO just happens to have led the NFL in TD's while he had a injured hand/finger or whatever it was.
Funny, the great ones don't have to let everyone know they're injured.
Please, explain how he isn't the best receiver in the NFL and why he is a "me first" player, as you said earlier.
No, I'll let you do it.
TO does cause problems in the locker room.
Agreed.
Notice that he doesn't say, this organization sucks.
Are coaches not part of the organization?
"In 2001, after Owens' screw-up caused his team, the 49ers, to lose to the Chicago Bears, Owens criticized his coach, Steve Mariucci."
?
Sept. 21, 2003: Throws a sideline tantrum directed at offensive coordinator Greg Knapp and is critical of new coach Dennis Erickson after a loss to the Browns. "It's my job to run routes and catch the ball," he says. "It's their job to know the personnel on the field. It's their job to know who the playmakers are and to design the plays."
?
Jan. 13, 2002: Complains about his role in the offense following a playoff loss to the Packers. "I want to be the go-to guy on this team," he says. "But the play-calling doesn't always involve me."
"Sometimes change is good," Owens told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Monday. "I think it was needed."
"Coming into this season and this situation, I wanted to be positive," Owens told the Star-Telegram. "When I talked to [Parcells] for the first time we left an impression on each other. I still think he is a great guy. But he is like my grandmother. You love the person, but they are stuck in their old-school ways. You can't move them from their way of thought."
Getting him the ball more would be a start for Dallas.
He was targeted 153 times last season... how many does he need exactly?
