Yo T.O. It's Time To Go Bro

I love football more than almost any pro sport or entertainment avenue, and I really loathe Terrell Owens and those like him equally as much. Word is out that the Dallas Cowboys are cutting this guy loose and my hope is that no team picks him up, especially at the profane amount of money he is presently being paid, 24 million dollars over 4 years.

This guy is part of that growing club that represents everything wrong with pro sports and hopefully with this so called recession deepening one positive thing that could come from it would be a reality check as to what these pro athlete's are really worth, and what we fans are being raped for to support these spoiled frickers for these past few steroid and scandal filled decades. 100-200$ for a family of four to attend any pro sporting event is an Obamination any way you slice it.

Like everything else these in the sports, music and TV/Movie realm, these people are entertaining for the most part, but they are not the Gods of the Universe that our misguided, false idol worshiping society has made them into in the past 20 years. We're all paying the price for their greed in cable bills that are higher than any utility we use, and there's no reason in the world we should have teachers, fireman, cops, and military members payed in a year what these unappreciative people make in the time they are taking a whiz or dump before their games or concerts.

I'm a capitalist through and through who's all for making what the markets will bear, but I think we can all step back now and realize that these overpaid pro athletes dictating ridiculous ticket prices and are just like our portfolio's, homes and cars, everything has been way overvalued and now the bottom has dropped out and the bubble has burst, as this level of consumerism is simply unsustainable any longer in this country thanks to all the deadweight we're carrying in the form of illegal aliens and non contributing citizens.

People can only afford so much crap, and this activity along with many others is included in that pile of things we can do without.

It's a disgrace and until America get's it's priorities straight we're in for a long gut check and during that time there will be many empty stadiums eventually and I say that's a good thing, especially so these men start playing these games for love like their fore bearers did for a century or so, as their greed has kept me out of their arenas for a decade and more will follow in the coming months you can be sure if the recession is real.

Time seems to have come to teach guys like Owens and their owners that we're the bosses out here and you're asses are all fired. Sadly some other greedy owner with a thick wallet will simply rehire this has been and locker room virus, just passing the bill on to the fans in the form of higher ticket prices and 20$ beers just to watch him catch a lousy football for 34 million dollars over 4 years.

That's so obscene it makes me sick.

Cowboys to cut star receiver Terrell Owens

My Way News - Report: : "IRVING, Texas (AP) - Terrell Owens' days in Dallas are done, according to ESPN. ESPN cited anonymous sources Wednesday night in saying that the Cowboys have decided to cut the receiver, ridding them of a big locker-room distraction but also absorbing a big hit on their salary cap.

The team did not immediately have a comment. A spokesman for Owens said he hadn't heard the news, and that Owens was traveling and could not immediately be reached. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, also did not immediately return a call.



Just a few weeks ago, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones indicated that T.O. was staying when he said, 'You and I both know that the one that you're asking about all the time, if I gave you the answer that you want to hear, then you would've already had it. So the fact you don't have it ought to tell you something. It really should.'

Jones seemed to enjoy the publicity Owens stirred up as much as the touchdowns he scored. However, there were several in-house issues involving Owens that may have ultimately prompted Jones to decide the receiver wasn't worth the trouble he caused."

Owens will count about $9 million against the cap. His absence means one less high-profile player to open the Cowboys' new, $1.1 billion stadium, and fewer No. 81 jerseys to sell.

While Tony Romo also will be without the recipient of most his touchdown passes, he also will no longer have to make sure T.O. has enough passes his way to make him happy. Whether that was perception or reality will no longer matter either.

The Cowboys went 31-17 in Owens' three seasons, but 0-2 in the playoffs.

Jones essentially forced Owens on then-coach Bill Parcells, a relationship underscored by Parcells referring to Owens as "the player." Owens drew attention to himself during training camp by dressing up as a pro cyclist while riding a stationary bike, then had an accidental overdose early that season.

Yet when Parcells turned to unproven Romo midway through that season, Owens sparkled. They kept it up the next season, leading the Cowboys to all sorts of club records on their way to a 13-3 season and a division title. The Cowboys lost their first playoff game, days after Romo and others went on a trip to Mexico, and Owens tearfully defended Romo, saying, "That's my quarterback."

Owens got a new contract last summer, a four-year, $34 million deal that included a $12 million bonus.

The best news for Owens would be if the cameras were rolling for the new reality TV show he has in the works when he got the news from the Cowboys.

Where might he end up next? That's sure to be the next drama, and perhaps more great fodder for his TV show.

He's not likely to return to San Francisco or Philadelphia, the other places he wore out his welcome. Then again, it seemed unlikely he would come to Dallas after having offended Cowboys fans by celebrating on the team's star logo while playing for the 49ers.

Don't expect him in Miami, not as long as Parcells is in charge. And perhaps also count out Kansas City because new coach Todd Haley and Owens hardly got along when Haley was Dallas' offensive coordinator.

The Cowboys should still have a potent passing game, at least if receiver Roy Williams can live up to his big contract and the two draft picks Dallas gave up to get him from Detroit. Romo also still has his favorite target, tight end Jason Witten.

Over three years with the Cowboys, Owens caught 235 passes for 3,587 yards and 38 touchdowns in 47 games. He led the NFL with 13 TDs receiving in 2006, his first season in Dallas.

Over his 13-year career, he's a five-time All-Pro and ranks second in career touchdowns, fifth in career yards receiving and sixth in career receptions. He turned 35 in December, but remains a physical specimen.
