I remember the days when I despised Terrell Owens (NFL wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys). Coming off arrogant and aggressive, he didn’t seem to be that great of a player, though, his post touchdown antics made him very entertaining to watch. The fog of his weird yet funny celebrations hid his real talent, so I considered him a showboat and a problem child with any team he was with. That was a miscalculation.
Since he signed with the Cowboys in 2006, he has consistently been turning 5 yards into 15+yards, opening up all the other options with-in the Dallas arsenal: Marion Barber, Jason Witten, Patrick Crayton, and Terry Glenn. That’s well and good if you avoid the “T.O. vs. McNabb” syndrome. I think that’s what made most Dallas fans skeptical of him in the first season. No one wants to sacrifice his season for one player. Luckily, he proved me along with most fans wrong. He has been a great addition to the cowboys and I hope he renews his contract after the 08 season. His breakdown after the loss to the Giants was not what you want to see from one of your team’s players because it opens the “smack talk” flood gates, but it made me proud to have him as our player. I had Owens pegged as a “me me me” personality, but amidst his breakdown he was protective of his teammates and tried to curb the criticism that they were about to endure.

Until next season Cowboys…
We’re going to kill the redskins/packers/giants and any other nfl team for that wants some.
