The T.O. Thread

[Hooch]

I figure the Terrell Owens saga is just bout to heat up again, so why not give the dick bag his own thread?

TO’s time in Dallas over after Cowboys cut star WR[/url]

IRVING, Texas (AP)—It’s time for T.O. to find a new home. And time for the Dallas Cowboys to make a fresh start.

Terrell Owens was cut by the Cowboys on Thursday. While his on-field performances were quite good, his divisive behavior off the field—and sometimes on the sideline and in the huddle—made Owens too much of a distraction for team owner Jerry Jones.

“In the aftermath of the season, we talked about change,” Jones said in a statement. “Some of what is changing involves the process and some of it involves people. This is a decision that was made based upon consideration for an entire team.

“We will move on now with a new team—a new attitude—and into a new stadium. The evaluation process and the prospect for change will continue at every level of the organization.”

So Owens’ stay in Big D ends after three years; he won’t get a chance to thrill crowds in the Cowboys’ new home this year. Nor will he get a chance to turn off his teammates with his histrionics.

Owens released a statement on his Web site thanking Jones, coach Wade Phillips and the organization “for the opportunity to be a member of the team for the past three years.”

“A big thanks to the fans—you’ve been awesome! I look forward to the upcoming season and continuing to play in the NFL,” Owens added.

Where that will be is anyone’s guess. Because many of the headlines T.O. creates are about ego and attitude. Jones wants the focus on winning, something the Cowboys haven’t done in the playoffs since 1996.
