    The cowboys should tell T.O. to take a hike, We should not have anything to do with him.
March 18, 2006 02:16 p.m.
    I THINK JERRY JONES AND t.o. DESERVE EACH OTHER.THIS SHOULD PUT THE FINAL COFFIN PIN IN PLACE FOR TWO LOSERS !
March 18, 2006 02:16 p.m.
    Wow! 'Ol JJ just guaranteed the Cowboys Nation an exciting 2006 season... that much is certain!
March 18, 2006 02:15 p.m.
    I think Jerry, TO and his agent should all celebrate with a hunting trip to South Texas. Cheney around?
March 18, 2006 02:15 p.m.
    With everything being equal it all boils down to chemistry and he is 0 for 2 in that department.This is a big mistake for the Cowboys.
March 18, 2006 02:15 p.m.
    Based on the kind of man Jerry Jones is, this deal does not surprise me in the least. But I cannot believe Parcells would stoop so low as to accept this unfortunate turn of events. Congratulations, Cowboys, you just signed the player with the least class in the NFL.
March 18, 2006 02:14 p.m.
    So long Keyshawn Hello T.O.!!!!!
March 18, 2006 02:14 p.m.
    very poor judgement....desperate coach and owner.....why would management support the behavior from a "child" like T O? T O needs a spanking in the worst way.
March 18, 2006 02:14 p.m.
    Who cares ! Can you please put something worth a crap on the web page.
March 18, 2006 02:13 p.m.
    Just what Dallas needs...another hot head, showboater. I miss the days where you could be proud of the Cowboys. It's such a shame that Jerry Jones has ruined the integrity of this team and cast a cloud over Dallas.
March 18, 2006 02:12 p.m.
    I thought Jerry had more class. Signing T.O. cheapens any success the Cowboys might have.
March 18, 2006 02:11 p.m.
    TO is an offensive catalyst who will provide the spark needed for success. Understand he is quirky and don't try to change him. Allow him to show up at practice, meetings, and games. He will do his thing and go about his business. Outstanding move!
March 18, 2006 02:10 p.m.
    As a life-long Eagles fan, I sure hope Dallas picks up T.O. Then he's your problem!!!! Good Luck with that.
March 18, 2006 02:09 p.m.
    Count me out of going to any games this year...Jerry - I hope you're happy. You just got an old receiver that everyone loves to hate. If he doesn't get you a trophy... SELL THE TEAM TO YOUR SON!
March 18, 2006 02:09 p.m.
    This is a win-win deal for Dallas. Nice job, Jerry! Today is a great day for Cowboys fans ... sure Terrell stood in the star -- that's because he's always longed to be here.
March 18, 2006 02:09 p.m.
    Perfect deal, Jerry Jones and T.O. deserve each other.
March 18, 2006 02:07 p.m.
    If you watch the "teams" ever year that win Championships, you will not find many T.O.'s anywhere on the field. There is a reason for that. Football "teams" can win some games during the regular season with T.O's, but for the most part, Playoff time is "team" time!
March 18, 2006 02:07 p.m.
    If they get him I hope they loose every game. A jerk just like the owner.
March 18, 2006 02:06 p.m.
    They are sure making it a challenge to remain a Cowboy fan. They say winning resolves all problems. The guy who coined that phrase never had TO.
March 18, 2006 02:05 p.m.
    We'll Im not sure he'll be here that long either. I don't think the fans will ever embrace hiw being a Dallas Cowboy. I think it is a sad dat in the history of the Boys.
March 18, 2006 02:04 p.m.
    It's a horrible mistake!
March 18, 2006 02:04 p.m.
    Owens, JUST SHUT UP AND PLAY!
March 18, 2006 02:02 p.m.
    One jackass joined to another. TO and Jerry. How fitting.
March 18, 2006 02:02 p.m.
    Bill must be present at this announcemnet
March 18, 2006 02:02 p.m.
    I have been a Cowboys fan since I was in diapers, through hard times and the good, always a fan. Bringing T.O. here is a mistake. He is a cancer who will wreck an already weak and fragile locker room. Bill Parcells and Jerry Jones are sacrificing this team to "just win now." If he comes here I will not be a fan anymore. I will trash my many jerseys, t-shirts, and toys. I will not support a team who sells out to just win now. Any victory will be a cheap and hollow victory...even a Super Bowl win. NO T.O.!
March 18, 2006 02:01 p.m.
    I hope this is an "April Fools" joke!!!!
March 18, 2006 02:00 p.m.
    I wonder will Drew Bledsoe feel pressure to be a consistent performer now.
March 18, 2006 01:59 p.m.
    How can anyone not love the controversy that surrounds T.O. as well as the fact that he is the best receiver in the NFL. Bring it on T.O., cause the anticipated trouble, just make sure you score a helluvalotta touchdowns in the process.
March 18, 2006 01:58 p.m.
    The NFL is a business and the name of the game is winning, there may be some unhappy Cowboys fans today, but when he scores that first touchdown and runs to the center star to celebrate they will be celebrating with him.
March 18, 2006 01:57 p.m.
    I'm sitting here reading all of the "so called" Cowboys fans who are quitting on the team, and can't help but laugh. Go ahead, throw you memorabilia away, find another team, but don't come back. T.O. is a jerk, everyone knows that. But if you are willing to throw away all you ever rooted for because of how he acted in the past, then good ridance.
March 18, 2006 01:56 p.m.
    Athletes win football games. The Cowboys need athletes an T.O. is definately that. Everyone who is going to rip up their season tickets . . . send them to me and I will give you my Vanderbilt season tickets. I will watch the Boys win a title and you can go see a bunch of "swell" guys get pummeled every week.
March 18, 2006 01:55 p.m.
    dumbest thing I ever heard to hire the guy who embarrasingly put the football on the star at the 50 yard line of Texas Stadium showing how little respect he has for the game and the players. Jones should be ashamed.
March 18, 2006 01:55 p.m.
    It won't be long before T.O. starts to fillet his teammates. I fully expect him to destroy this team.
March 18, 2006 01:54 p.m.
    One good thing. Maybe it will drive Big Bill out of town!
March 18, 2006 01:53 p.m.
    Owens can be a cancer in the locker room and for the team.
March 18, 2006 01:53 p.m.
    All these fans who are whining need to chill out. They are the same ones who whine when we go "3 and out". Welcome to Big D T.O....now go out and put up big numbers!
March 18, 2006 01:53 p.m.
    Were going to the Super Bowl!
March 18, 2006 01:53 p.m.
    Great pickup, no one can question his work ethic. I believe he was humbled by being deactivated last year. Parcells will keep him in check. Owens also may have had legitimate beefs with two other head cased in McNabb and Garcia.
March 18, 2006 01:53 p.m.
    God help us...
March 18, 2006 01:50 p.m.
    My first thought when I heard that Owens was possibly going to be signed ny the Cowboys was disbelief.How could they sign him after what he did to embarass them by standing on the star at midfield.All I can say is --I have been an avid fan of the Cowboys since their inception in 1960--but if the Cowboys do indeed sign Terrell Owens and forget about their principles than I have watched my last Cowboy game.There is a time to stick to your principles and this is one of the times---DON'T SIGN Terrell OWENS----rather than doing this what the Cowboys should do is not make any trade that they can (I would trade half the team) to get the draft rights to draft Vince Young as their quarterback and they will win many super bowls with him as quarterback.GO AFTER VINCE YOUNG!!!!!!!!!!!
March 18, 2006 01:50 p.m.
    LISTEN TO 1310 THE TICKET FOR THE LIVE NEWS CONFERENCE...
March 18, 2006 01:49 p.m.
    I can't believe the Cowboys are going to sign that low-rent, low-class, trouble-making waste of talent. After being a Cowboy fan my entire life(42 years), I will never again watch or attend a Cowboy game. The front office doesn't appear to care about the character of the team so why should I care about the team at any level. It's a shame they choose to put such a blemish on the legacy of the Dallas Cowboys.
March 18, 2006 01:49 p.m.
    HEY, here's an analogy for you morons with this "What kind of a person stops rooting for his team over one person" talk. Imagine if you found out that your wife was cheating on you. Now imagine that you had to give that other man room and board in YOUR house. Would you be seriously resigned to that fate? Com'on. Screw that. I've been a Cowboy fan starting in '89. Of course now it's ending in '06. And no, I'm not going to lower myself to rooting for this jerk. And by the way for you "Look at me, I'm a real Cowboy fan I'll stay no matter what" type of folks try as hard as you can to stay out of prison. Cause we all know what kind of role you'd be filling.
March 18, 2006 01:49 p.m.
    This is the dumbest thing Jones has done since getting rid of Jimmy Johnson.
March 18, 2006 01:47 p.m.
    i have a hard times with the signing of owens. his behavior at cowboy stadium sticks in my memory. the cowboys dont need any problems in the locker room.
March 18, 2006 01:45 p.m.
    Where in the world did this idea come from? Dallas Cowboys are a class act! We don't need something as distractive/disruptive as T.O. and his shinnanagins to kick start the orginazation into a winning, Super Bowl Team again!! I had rather watch them go to 0-wins/rock bottom and build up from there, as to hire something as pathetic as'Super Stuff T.O.'for a mediocre team (Forget the Super Bowl). I am glad Tom Landry doesn't have to hear this! It will take a special plane for all the baggage T.O. brings to the games.
March 18, 2006 01:44 p.m.
    I am skeptical of signing Owens, but now that Keyshawn has been released, it's a no brainer. As an avid Cowboy fan, and even though I have hated TO for the Star celebration, he is now a Cowboy and I am a TO fan, for now anyway!!!
March 18, 2006 01:42 p.m.
    I think this an excellent signing for the Dallas Cowboys and the fans. T.O. is the best reciever out there, regardless if he mouths off, you can't argue skills. Give Bledsoe time and he'll get T.O. the ball. Even then you could throw it up and he'll go get it. I don't care what anybody says about him, everyone in Dallas will start liking him if he gets us to the Super Bowl like he did Philadelphia.
March 18, 2006 01:41 p.m.
    Here's hoping George Teague is at the press conference to run up on stage and blast his ass again. All I know is, the headline in the paper tomorrow should be "Cowboys sign Owens, Lose Thousands of Fans to Free Agency". Good riddance Cowboys. This die hard fan just kicked the bucket with you. You are now all that is wrong with professional sports.
March 18, 2006 01:41 p.m.
    I used to love the Cowboys and football in general, but I've hardly watched football at all since Jerry Jones took over. That's a long time. I'll probably watch even less now that no-class Jones has signed even-less-class Owens. Thanks Jerry, for breaking me of my addiction and giving me my Sundays back!
March 18, 2006 01:40 p.m.
    What's that old saying... a smart man learns from his own mistakes, but a wise man learns from the mistakes of others? I really thought this program took a HUGE leap in the right direction last year. I didn't realize the Cowboys were in such bad shape to take a risk like this.
March 18, 2006 01:40 p.m.
    I would be very disappointed in the Cowboys if they were to sign Terrell Owens. We do not need him or his drama in Dallas, I do not know anyone who wants him here playing for our Cowboys. He is selfish, overrated, and trouble wherever he goes. This is a public stunt by owner Jerry Jones who is always trying to get his name in the paper. The Cowboys are worser off if we sign T.O....
March 18, 2006 01:39 p.m.
    Like it...from what I remember not to many Dallas fans liked Deon until he played here so I see the same thing happening here. Once he starts scoring TDs feeling will turn.
March 18, 2006 01:37 p.m.
    Jerry, Please.. Give us a break. Its like a slap on the face to bring him here. You expect this "mouth" to realy be a Team Player? Here is an idea, leave the STAR off his helment and off his jersey's, everyone knows he does not deserve it.
March 18, 2006 01:37 p.m.
    Judging from the old TO we can expect him to beg Jerry for more money, fight with Parcells, bash Drew Bledsoe, practice some crazy touchdown dances and look pretty on TV. That would spell trouble. But, if he wants to come in and make winning a Super Bowl for the Cowboys his top priority, then everything will be just fine. If they're winning, Drew Bledsoe looks a lot better, Parcells becomes a genius again, and oh-by-the-way, Jerry will make sure he gets paid. Message to TO - take care of this team FIRST, and I promise, they'll take care of you.
March 18, 2006 01:37 p.m.
    TBlow Everyone deserves a second chance TBlow had his and promptly destroyed another storied franchise. TBlow has continued to snub the NFL, refusing to be traded in to the Ravens, and refusing to play except on his terms period. We are supposed to learn from history that is one of the reasons it is important. Common sense should also play a roll in our decisions, lets use this analogy, if a child saw a pile of leaves and ran up and kicked them, only to find the leaves were barely covering a fire hydrant, he would not kick the leaves again. Why then do grown men continually and knowingly kick the leaves and hurt themselves and their team over and over again? It is time to turn over a new leaf and leave the fire hydrant alone. P.S. doesnt everyone remember who his agent is? Next Question? Mike Massey
March 18, 2006 01:36 p.m.
    Might win a few games for us, but in the end, he'll take the fun out of it with all his drama-queen bull-stuff.
March 18, 2006 01:35 p.m.
    This is absolutely the worst move ever by the Cowboys. Dale is right. Switzer was bad but this is absolutely horrific. Philly went from the Superbowl to the toilet in one year because of TO. What in the world is Parcells thinking? After this it's now time for Parcells to go as well. We need a long term quarterback not a million dollar cry baby receiver. Absolutely terrible move that will push Dallas even further away from that elusive 6th Superbowl ring.
March 18, 2006 01:34 p.m.
    One of my favorite Jerry Jones quotes: don't let your money get mad. Obviously, he remembers too. Oddly enough, there are now more reasons to bring in TO than to leave him alone. I think the fact that his current agent is on board with this move makes a big difference. With Drew and Michael Irvin and Jerry Jones supporting the move, I actually think he's going to be happy here!
March 18, 2006 01:34 p.m.
    I'm like 95% of NFl fans that've watched Terrell Owens act like an idiot, jerk, and basically royally show act like an axx. The only thing that I do give him credit for is his football ability, the rest of him gets a minus credibility factor. With the possiblity of signing him to the Cowboys, it's real easy to figure with if or how he's to be handled. His agent Drew Rosenhaus (sp) along with Owens himself should not think that they can behave in the same manner they have previously with other teams. Bill Parcells is the perfect coach to take a chunk out of Owens rear and ego if he tries his tactics again, and Jerry Jones will release him before Owens can exhale if he challenges the organization. Personally, I like Bill Parcells and have always liked Jerry Jones (even with some of his decisions). I've never cared much for either Terrell or Drew. So.......we'll see if Drew baby and Terrell baby will grow up and be men rather than babies and regain all the respect and credibility they tried to force from those they've crossed paths with before and failed miserably.
March 18, 2006 01:34 p.m.
    i'm a cowboy fan until the casket drops....and while i don't agree with his star antics...i do want my team to win and be successful and i feel like he can help.... i'm more excited about the fabini signing to be honest....
March 18, 2006 01:32 p.m.
    We just bought another Super Bowl. All hail Jerry and Bill. I know this has the ability to blow up in our faces, but the risk/reward seems better for reward to me. Mr. Owens is the greatest reciever of this decade. He cant afford to continue to tick people off. Its costing him too much money. This will work.
March 18, 2006 01:32 p.m.
    If there are severe penalties against Owens for disruptive behavior detrimental to the Cowboys, the acquisition should be good. Otherwise, he will destroy anything positive the team is building on.
March 18, 2006 01:31 p.m.
    This ranks right up there with Jerry firing Tom Landry...a direct slap in the face of the fans. Does he really think we're that hungry for a title that we'll accept the biggest moron in pro sports????
March 18, 2006 01:31 p.m.
    T.O., I THINK THE SIGNING IS JUST WHAT WE NEED. A GO TO RECIEVER IS EXACTLY WHAT T.O. IS. THANK GOODNESS JERRY JONES HAS THE COURAGE TO SIGN HIM. WATCH ALL THE TOUCHDOWN PASSES HE WILL CATCH THIS YEAR.
March 18, 2006 01:29 p.m.
    It's hard to imagine that a bad apple like Terrell Owens will soon wear the same blue and silver that bona fide great players and good guys like Roger, Tony D, Manster, Ken Norton, Emmitt and Troy made so famous. This is the same guy who disrespectfully stomped on the Cowboy star just three years ago, and there are now Cowboy "fans" who welcome him with open arms. Do you people have no pride?
March 18, 2006 01:29 p.m.
    We don't need this thug. If Cowboys sign him I will no longer be a Cowboy fan.
March 18, 2006 01:29 p.m.
    THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. THE COWBOYS HAVE HAD A QUALITY RECEIVER ALREADY WITH KEYSHAWN.TERREL OWEN IS A GOOD RECEIVER,HOWEVER HE IS A HEADCASE.
March 18, 2006 01:28 p.m.
    This is terrible. I thought it was bad when Jerry brought in Deon, but this is worse. This is an insult to Cowboy players and fans everywhere. Too bad he got up after being knocked off the star. I hope the fans ride him out of town on a rail before he disgraces the uniform by wearing it in a regular season game.
March 18, 2006 01:27 p.m.
    Heck yeah!!!
March 18, 2006 01:25 p.m.
    TO just needs to catch the ball, be a team player and keep his mouth shut.
March 18, 2006 01:25 p.m.
    If this is anything more than a one-year, one-strike-and-you're out deal... and I fear that it probably is more than that... I am no longer a Cowboy fan for as long as Jones owns this team. He has officially destroyed any class this organization might ever have had. Mind you, I've lived in Dallas all my life, and been a Cowboy fan as long as I can remember... and I'm 31 years old.
March 18, 2006 01:21 p.m.
    TO's former agent did not file a form letter for free agency on time. That oversight cost TO millions of dollars in leverage. He expected the Eagles would make it right after he had the great year to put them into the Superbowl. They said no and he became disruptive. I expect he will simiarly elevate the Cowboys, but unlike the Eagles, Jerry Jones rewards performance.
March 18, 2006 01:19 p.m.
    My family and I go to Dallas and watch the Cowboys whenever we can. We have gone to Oxnard the last couple of years. Not any more if TO is on the team!!!! We have lived the Cowboy dream for years.--How can we even enjoy a win if it is done with a person like TO in the spotlight? TO is for TO and not the team. The Cowboys will not continue to be America's team with characters like this representing them. Bad, bad move. Cowboys will lose fan support.
March 18, 2006 01:15 p.m.
    Well this is it. The final Jerry Jones Blunder for this fan. I can not imagine a worse way other than the Tom Landry firing debocle to tarnish the good image that the cowboys built over so many years. I will not be buying any tickets to cowboys games this season.
March 18, 2006 01:15 p.m.
    If they sign T.O., I hope they lose many games and T.O. becomes a disruption. Teams should not try to win at any costs.
March 18, 2006 01:14 p.m.
    I'll take it. Whatever gets us to the Super Bowl. I just hope the Cowboys protected themselves from the possibility of his antics in the contract.
March 18, 2006 01:14 p.m.
    Every time you begin to think that Jerry Jones has matured a little in his role as a football general manager (as opposed to open checkbook owner, where he is superb), he does something really boneheaded like this.
March 18, 2006 01:10 p.m.
    What a blast. If TO plays like TO and learns to be a good teammate then it is a steal for the cowboys
March 18, 2006 01:07 p.m.
    Stupid is as stupid does. I will never forget what he did to the star. Never. I can not be a cowbay fan with someone on the team that is poison.
March 18, 2006 01:05 p.m.
    Instead of dreading the addition of this "cancer," 'Boys fans should be optimistic that Parcells can handle a bad attitude or two. Sure, T.O. may be a little punk, but he is the best reciever in the NFL. Give T.O. the ball to make T.O. happy, and T.O. will take that ball and make us happy... with some playoff wins.
March 18, 2006 01:04 p.m.
    I hope it was a short deal. I think he's amazingly talented, with a lot to prove, but he 'is' 32. I think he'll be on his best behavior this year. I think we could do really well with him... plus he'll buy into Parcells' coaching. Beyond 2006, it could be as painful as when Deion was here.
March 18, 2006 01:03 p.m.
    Public enemy #1, I can't stand that guy. Hate him, hate him, hate him. What? He's a Cowboy? Poor guy is just misunderstood, where do I get a jersey?
March 18, 2006 01:02 p.m.
    Great, just keep him in line...this is his last chance
March 18, 2006 01:01 p.m.
    What a bunch of fickle people. Let me ask you something: When this knucklehead runs to the middle of the field and stands on the star after scoring, will you applaud?
March 18, 2006 12:58 a.m.
    I just viewed Dale Hansen's report on the signing of T.O. Hansen threatens to have more to say about the siging if if does happen. He's already said all he has to say about it! So if it is the dumbest thing that Jones has done since signing Switzer, then so what! It's Jerry's team, not Dale's and Jerry can do whatever he wants with the Cowboys. Jerry's job is to sell tickets and Cowboys merchandise and he's done a magnificent job doing that. If Jerry wins another Super Bowl along the way, well that's just gravy on top of the other three that he's already won. Dale has received millions of dollars over the years reporting on the Cowboys. Hansen should stop whining already with his empty threats. In the end, what Hansen reports on the Cowboys will have no bearing whatsoever on what Jerry does with his team. All of Owen's ranting last year made him null and void with the Eagles. Hansen's ranting are no better. Does Hansen really "pray" that this signing doesn't happen? Gee whiz! How shallow! With the state of the world as it is today, why does he waste his "prayers" on something like this? Dale has done great work with the Dallas Can! program. He should spend more time praying about this program, where he can make a greater than impact, than praying about what Jerry Jones does with his team.
March 18, 2006 12:57 a.m.
    Signing T.O. is like giving a freight train loaded with nuclear weapons to Osama Bin Laden. The destruction is going to be widespread and random. And yes...I DID mention T.O. and Bin Laden in the same sentence. In fact, I'm pretty sure that Drew Rosenhaus is the agent for both.
March 18, 2006 12:56 a.m.
    foolish desperation
March 18, 2006 12:56 a.m.
    I hope the team has a good chaplain if reports of a deal are true because someone just sold their soul to the devil. Problem is between T.O. and J.J., who's the bigger sell-out and which is the bigger devil? This could make being a Cowboy fan harder than it's ever been to be Ranger fan.
March 18, 2006 12:55 a.m.
    Just what the Cowboys needed. An impact player!! I see nothing but good coming out of this. Now if they can just get Arrington!!
March 18, 2006 12:53 a.m.
    THey are stupid. He may give them a good year in 06, but will be a burrden in 07 when he doesn't like anyone on the team
March 18, 2006 12:51 a.m.
    If TO comes here, I'll watch and/or listen to the games and care about the Cowboys again when he's gone.
March 18, 2006 12:49 a.m.
    first the ticket now this
March 18, 2006 12:47 a.m.
    As a 56 year old fan from the beginning of the franchise, I have lived and died with the Cowboys, and stayed with them through good times and bad. I even named two of my dogs "Dallas" and "Landry." Having never completely forgiven Jerry Jones for the way he handled the firing of Tom Landry, he is an idiot if he thinks most true Cowboys' fans will welcome T.O. to the team. For me personally, if Owens does join the team, as long as he wears the star, I will not root for the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones will have made a tragic mistake adding this cancer to the locker room!
March 18, 2006 12:45 a.m.
    A press conference with Terrell Owens, Drew Rosenhaus and Jerry Jones will cause so much hot air that it may dry up this rainy weather.
March 18, 2006 12:45 a.m.
    I am very excited. Superbowl here we come.
March 18, 2006 12:41 a.m.
    You've got to be kidding me. The guy is a pig. If they sign him, I'm done with professional football.
March 18, 2006 12:41 a.m.
    Don't need Terrell don't want Terrell.....perioid!!!

    Let's see the Cowboys pick up the most talented receiver in the game...no brainer you fix his attitude which Parcells can absolutely do, and you win. What's the downside, the Cowboys missed the playoffs last year, they miss the playoffs again? They did that without Owens.
March 18, 2006 12:34 a.m.
    I am 53 and have been a fan since I was knee high. I grew up in Waco. I am more incensed by the signing of TO than anything they have ever done. How could JJ sign him after the way he disrespected us when he played for San Fran? As a fan I feel stabbed in the back.
March 18, 2006 12:34 a.m.
    I quit watching the Cowboys a long time ago. I am not entertained by egotistical professional athletes. It won't be long until the people of North Texas are as sick of this drama filled athlete as we were of Michael Irvin. They are both men without an ounce of character. They are NOT role models for my children and we will continue to NOT watch the Cowboys.
March 18, 2006 12:31 a.m.
    In addition to T.O., they better look for upgraded talent in free agency, the draft, or possible trades this upcoming year. Right now, it looks like Washington and the Giants have come out ahead in the NFC East...
March 18, 2006 12:30 a.m.
    The cowboys have needed a player with an ego for some years now to make the team a balanced unit. And T.O. will have his best years in Dallas. Also I'm really glad to see all the untrue cowboys fans removing themselves from supporting the team. T.O. is cool and a real disciple of Michael Irwin. Signed True Cowboy
March 18, 2006 12:29 a.m.
    T.O. SINGLEHANDEDLY TOOK APART THE 49ERS AND THE EAGLES , THE TWO TEAMS I DESPISE THE MOST ! HE'S MY HERO !SIGN HIM I SAY.
March 18, 2006 12:29 a.m.
    Another showing of the lack of class by Jerry Jones, just when I was getting interested in the Cowboys again. If they sign TO I will tune out.
March 18, 2006 12:29 a.m.
    Thanks, Jerry, for demonstrating that you have no principles, no sense of propriety, and no concern for the wishes of the community you serve. Yeah, you (or, more appropriately, Jimmy Johnson) brought us Superbowl victories. But since then you have brought us only shame and humiliation. I wonder what it would take to talk Mark Cuban into buying out the Cowboys? By the way - I've been a Cowboys fan all my life, but if you persist in putting the cancer that is Terrell Owens in a Cowboys uniform, you can kiss this member of the fan base goodbye. I won't allow a penny of my entertainment dollar to be spent paying the salary of spoiled rotten overgrown child like T.O., and I'm even less inclined to pad the wallet of an owner who thinks so little of this city as to have it represented by such human dreck.
March 18, 2006 12:26 a.m.
    Jerry Jones has sold his soul to the devil and Tex is rolling over in his grave. If they sign hime then they get what they deserve. I hope the City of Irving passes the locker room tax so they get just that.
March 18, 2006 12:26 a.m.
    Bringing "Terrible" Owens to Dallas would be a disaster. Why don't we just paint a big dollar sign over the Star? Mr. Jones should go back to what built the last great teams, start with a good coach and young, talented players, and get out of the way!
March 18, 2006 12:25 a.m.
    Personally I can't stand T.O., but then again I hated Deion Sanders before he became a Cowboy. Once you become a Cowboy, then things change. I will root for my team no matter what ego possessed player come to play for us as long as he helps us win. Will the Cowboys offense be better? Yes...
March 18, 2006 12:23 a.m.
    I'm done with this team. Period.
March 18, 2006 12:20 a.m.
    This is a messed up situation. TO has no respect for the history of the game and Jerry doesnt realize he is alienating the traditional fan base that goes back to the days of Meredith, Hayes, etc. The world is truly coming to an end!!!!
March 18, 2006 12:20 a.m.
    This crosses the line. We all know T.O. is a great player and, barring his childish antics, will help the team. However, where is Jerry Jones integrity. If some guy stomps on my head or makes a mockery of my team and house, I do not reward him by giving him millions of dollars and letting him back in my house. When Tom Landry was fired, I almost jumped off the Cowboys bandwagon, but didn't. However, this straw has broken my back and I will not be renewing my season tickets because I am not going to let any of my money go to a person who made a mockery of "my team and my stadium."
March 18, 2006 12:19 a.m.
    I think it's great they got T.O. He will do wonders for the team. He might as well have defacated on the star at Texas Stadium and Jerry is waiting with the pooper scooper. Nothing better on a Sunday than a Chiefs win and a Cowboys loss. It's going to be a great season. Rick from K.C. living in Dallas
March 18, 2006 12:18 a.m.
    shoulda kept Keshawn and paid him the money...then draft or free agnet a aWR of TO's size. Da 'boys are in for a rough year.
March 18, 2006 12:18 a.m.
    He will be great the first year.Then Dallas will wish they never knew him. He becomes a cancer.
March 18, 2006 12:18 a.m.
    This move will probably be a boom or a bust for the Cowboys. Personally, I can't stand Terrell Owens and I would never want him on my team. But if he stays out of trouble, keeps his mouth shut, and helps the Cowboys win, then obviously it will turn out to be a good move. My initial judgment of the deal will depend on how much money is guarateed. Any team that signs Owens needs to be able to cut him without a significant hit to the salary cap if he reverts to his normal childish behavior.
March 18, 2006 12:16 a.m.
    Im cautiously optimistic that he will sign with us. We need a "playmaker" on the offensive end. Too many times last year, the Defense held up while the offense couldnt score more than one or two TDs. It doesnt help though when people dont give him a chance. It doesnt help when reporters are already saying he will divide the Cowboys. Living here in DC and seeing what the skins have done, Im welcome TO.
March 18, 2006 12:14 a.m.
    I think Jerry made a mistake here! Football is a team sport T.O. is not a team player!
March 18, 2006 12:13 a.m.
    I LOVE the move to get TO. He will be just fine here in Dallas, I agree that it is more of what tv has made him look to the public. For all of you long-time Cowboy fans who are never going to watch the team again are what we call NON-FANS. You should all be ashamed to make one player cause you to stop following a team you have always loved. The only cancer I can see is the judgemental Cowboy fan in this comment board.
March 18, 2006 12:13 a.m.
    Gotta Love It!
March 18, 2006 12:12 a.m.
    How are they going to let him dicgrace the STAR. Then wear one on his helmet???
March 18, 2006 12:08 a.m.
    I hate the idea of TO coming to the Cowbyys! I have been a Cowboy fan since day 1. I lived through the terrible way Landry was fired, I tolerated Jones' ego when he forced Jimmy Johnson out and cost the 'Boys a chance at 4 in a row. I almost cut the ties when he signed Barry Switzer. But if Jones signs TO against Parcells wishes and Parcells leave, then what coach in his right mind will ever want to work with Jones? Jones is playing head coach and playing with the 'Boys future to satisfy his ego and I will not root for Jones. TO is a cancer and should be cut out of the league for at least a year to try and teach him some humility and send a message to future TOs.
March 18, 2006 12:07 a.m.
    I have been a huge Cowboys fan for all of my life. I make at least two trips to Dallas each year to see them play. I understand why a lot of Cowboy fans are upset about TO playing for the Cowboys. What I don't understand is why they would quit being Cowboy fans, and root for other teams. If you are a true life long Cowboys fan, then you will always be a Cowboys fan. You shouldn't let one player make you change teams, or root against the Cowboys. I think TO is a very talented receiver. I hated and was sickened by what he did on the star, and loved that George Teague laid him out. I have not liked TO since then, and loved it when Roy Williams hurt him last year before the Super Bowl. I would think that TO would have learned that he needs to be on his best behavior if he wants to remain in the NFL, because if he blows up a 3rd team, no other team will probably want him. I hope he has learned his lesson. He has been a selfish player, but I think he should get another chance. He has not broken any laws, he is not a felon, like some of the players that are in the NFL. He could really help the Cowboys, and help Terry and Jason, and even Julius out. It will take more people to cover TO, so it should open up the offense. Whether TO signs with the Cowboys or some other team, I will always be proud to be a Cowboy fan. One player does not make a team. To all of the life long Cowboy fans who are going to change teams go ahead if that is what you want to do. True Cowboy fans will remain loyal to the team.
March 18, 2006 12:06 a.m.
    No, no, never, no, no, please. Altho Owens and Jones do deserve eachother.
March 18, 2006 12:05 a.m.
    His talent and work ethic cannot be denied. And obviously, Jerry Jones thinks that he will get the Cowboys to the Super Bowl in the next year or two. But his past antics, including that unspeakable crime on the star and his destruction of his past two locker rooms makes me wonder if he will doom the team just as much if not more than he helps it.
March 18, 2006 12:05 a.m.
    The Cowboys will regret the day they brought T.O. to Dallas. He will be a distraction starting the day they sign him and he will be a corrosive cancer in the locker room from the first day fo training camp to the day they release him. This time Jerry's risk taking backfires!!!
March 18, 2006 12:04 a.m.
    Terrell has great athleticism. His concept of team needs to a quick readjustment. I feel he will adjust because this is basically his last chance. If he messes his up, no one will ever put T.O on their roster again.
March 18, 2006 12:04 a.m.
    good move for the cowboys.
March 18, 2006 12:03 a.m.
    Jerry Jones said years ago that it's all about winning. Too bad it's not about sportsmanship, morals, ethics. Oh well I guess that went out the window with Tom Landry.
March 18, 2006 12:02 a.m.
    The Cowboys and T.O. need each other. Every since T.O. garnered the attention that catapulted him to the next level of his career The star inciden t at Texas stadium, his ego began to run neck and neck with the amount of his catches. If this relationship doesnt work out, T.O. is finished. He knows it and Jerry Jones knows it. We did it with Haley, We did it with Deion. Now its T.O. turn to turn around his career at the same place it began to catapult. Oh, by the way Jerry has as ego too. Thus the weakness for an occasional outcast. I think we have a match made in Heaven - Jerry, Bill, and T.O.. Lets hope we have redemption as well.
March 18, 2006 12:01 a.m.
    If he will score touch downs, be a team player and help us win... I'm good with it.
March 18, 2006 12:00 a.m.
    Just when you think Jerry Jones couldn't sink any lower...
March 18, 2006 11:58 a.m.
    I hope this doesn't monopolize the relationship between Parcells & Jones. It is very evident that the talent that the cowboys have acquired in the last 3 or 4 years is due to Parcells. Jones & his staff did not show that they could pick or develop good talent after Jimmy Johnson left. Time will tell.
March 18, 2006 11:57 a.m.
    Owens gives us the best chance to win. The offense needs playmakers & Owens is a playmaker.
March 18, 2006 11:57 a.m.
    By even considering adding T.O. to the roster disrespects all the Cowboys that came before that sacrificed for the TEAM to make the Cowboys the franchise that it is today. I am dissapointed by this line of thinking. B Beggs, Highland Village
March 18, 2006 11:56 a.m.
    I am and have been shocked at the rumors, the possibilities, and now the reality of Owens signing with the cowboys.I, like any other cowboy fan want to win badly. I am not the type of fan as to be naive to the business side of football. Sometimes athletes and coaches don't want to face the fact that their careers are done. So, you have your departures like Landry, Aikman, and Emmitt. While every fan is saddened to see them go, the naive fan expects them to stay for another ten years past their prime. It's the business side of football that keeps things in check. It balances out all the tough decisions while creating new ones.The tough reality is that the cowboys need help. We have plummeted to a level where mediocrity is our hope. With parity, each year brings a new awareness of the fact that any average team with a few plugged holes can compete and maybe win it all. I love football! But at times I'm not sure that I really enjoy the state of football. I desire greatness! I wait through 1 and 15 seasons, through every draft bust, through coaching changes, and all the controversies for it. I am not naive to think that every great player to ever wear a cowboys jersey will be on the team forever, but their memories will be. And these memories are the foundation to all cowboys fans. This last draft, not neccessarily the season, is my hope for greatness. While, the free agent signings (plugged holes) provided a winning season and the possibilities of the rise of yet another average team to win it all. The young guys of Ware, Spears,and Canty added to Jones, Williams, and Whitten are the makings of a great team. We are at a crossroads, continue building or plugging.The cowboys have not been successful at either for the past ten years yet all of a sudden this past season we had some success at both. Now, the signing of Owens could add to the plugging hole theory of success.But the hope of greatness still lies in April's draft. And I like every die hard fan, though saddened and extremely disappointed, will once again wait out this latest controversy, even to forgiveness, for the hope that lies ahead. P.S WE NEED TO DEVELOP (BY GIVING GAME EXPERIENCE TO) A YOUNG QUARTERBACK!!!!!
March 18, 2006 11:55 a.m.
    I will not spend another dime on tickets or merchandise if Jerry Jones signs T.O. Owens is a disgrace to this wonderful sport, not to mention our children who idolize todays athletes.
March 18, 2006 11:54 a.m.
    Please, please no!
March 18, 2006 11:52 a.m.
    The Cowboys may be the first team to structure a deal that protects them against bad behavior by T.O. who is not likely to gamble away his playing time again. Terrell Owens success with the Cowboys depends completely on how well the o-line can protect Bledsoe. Jones & Parcells must improve the current group of lineman if they expect to score points in 2006. A perfect fit for this team is RT Jon Runyan, not Rob Pettiti.
March 18, 2006 11:52 a.m.
    If Terrell comes here and can be a RECEIVER and not a DECEIVER....only time will tell.
March 18, 2006 11:51 a.m.
    Do the Cowboys have any principles? Even if we win the Super Bowl this year--it would lack luster. It just wouldn't taste right. The guy is a jerk and a cancer. What is Jerry thinking?
March 18, 2006 11:51 a.m.
    We need a good reciever after releasing Keyshawn Johnson, this would be good for the whole dallas organization.
March 18, 2006 11:50 a.m.
    The thought of TO in Dallas sickens me, but maybe Parcells can keep him in line.
March 18, 2006 11:49 a.m.
    T.O. is the player everyone says he is, but I think they should pay Keyshawn the going rate for a player of his caliber and keep him. T.O. is a gamble, but last year the Eagles had no fall back play maker when things went bad. Keeping Keyshawn would make our bet a lot safer. Oh, and if this is a go-4-it year, we should already have vinatari signed. Let's spend some money!
March 18, 2006 11:45 a.m.
    Usally when the Cowboys sign a all- pro the player the feeling is "good,he can help the Cowboys.".This feeling is,"OOOOH NOOOO." I just hope Mr Jones has put "T.O" clauses in his contract. I would love to be a fly on the wall,when Parcells tells (To) to,"shut the F up."
March 18, 2006 11:44 a.m.
    I think it's a good thing, if it's going to get the boys back in the super bowl "lets roll" to know he has to prove himself and if they give him the money he want, then there shouldn't be a problem. let s play ball T.O.
March 18, 2006 11:43 a.m.
    you want to hope for the best, but let's face it, the proof is in the pudding. he will blow up eventually.
March 18, 2006 11:43 a.m.
    Growing up in Phoenix as a Cowboy fan in the 70's I have been through all the good and bad times. When Deion Sanders was signed I almost stopped support for the Cowboys only regaining it when several right decisions were made to not bring in more questionable character players. Upon hearing the news that Owens was signed I called my family together, asked them to gather up all Cowboys paraphernalia, and announced that there would be no more support from me for the Cowboys organazition until the day Owens was no longer with the team. I hope the fans who stay realize what serious consequences will result from signing this self-centered jerk who places himself before the team and more importantly the sport itself. I for one will be looking for AZ Cardinals tickets.
March 18, 2006 11:37 a.m.
    Good Night and Good Luck.....
March 18, 2006 11:36 a.m.
    Players like "TO" are what make the NFL a stepchild to college football. Most NFL diehards are just as ignorant as "TO." Anyone who loves football and has a few brain cells follows college, not the NFL. The last time I went to a Cowboy game everyone I saw around me was scum, I guess I would have been considered the same for that day but I will not go back.
March 18, 2006 11:34 a.m.
    Cautiously optimistic!?
March 18, 2006 11:32 a.m.
    Idiot move.
March 18, 2006 11:32 a.m.
    I have watched the Boys either in person or on TV for 36 years and this is the lowest point to date. You generally cut out cancer instead of implanting it.
March 18, 2006 11:31 a.m.
    IN one word....Great
March 18, 2006 11:27 a.m.
    I have been a Cowboys fan for almost 40 years. There has been good and bad but I have always been a fan and supported the Boys. The arrogant, pompous and selfish manner in which T.O. has behaved is disgusting. He is a black mark for the NFL and for sports figures in America. It is a shame that someone with his ability has to behave in such a manner and this behavior is setting examples to the youth of today that it is acceptable. I can only hope that something goes wrong with this potential deal and T.O. ends up with some other team, or better yet, no team at all. If the deal with the Cowboys happens,I guess since I now live in Missouri I will become a Chiefs fan.
March 18, 2006 11:26 a.m.
    Love to have him. Watch he does for Terry Glenn and J. Jones.. Our offense will be 10 times better.. Welcome to Big D T.O.
March 18, 2006 11:23 a.m.
    Momma! Go get the Kodak. Jerry's about to riscue another stuck pig and take him home. Why don't he learn? Shoot, pigs get stuck in the mud cuz they wunt to. They like it thar. This pig is no differnt... I don't care whut they say. Next thang you know, he'll have the rest of his pen in there too. I know, he's wun of us Arkansans.
March 18, 2006 11:23 a.m.
    he's a cancer to any team!
March 18, 2006 11:21 a.m.
    I've been mystified at the Cowboys' thinking on this. Regardless of the player's talent, why would anyone subject their team and fans to the corrosive effects of his egotistical lockerroom presence and off-field behavior? The Cowboys were only a decent kicker away from winning the East last year and possibly a first-round bye, and they're apprently willing to risk everything on a player with a record of imploding teams.
March 18, 2006 11:21 a.m.
    Big mistake. He will be a major negative force, spreading bad vibes throughout the entire team.
March 18, 2006 11:19 a.m.
    I have been a Cowboys fan my whole life and no matter how much I want a successful season I do not the that Owens is the answer. He is a cancer and will destroy any chemistry the team has and spread fast. Please Jerry for once listen to what other people are saying so we won't be in the "I told you so" group like the 49'ers, Eagles.
March 18, 2006 11:18 a.m.
    Owens isnt a child. He's not going to destroy the organization. One man cannot do that. One thing he is though is an extraordinary reciever that the Cowboys lack. He'll be the go-to clutch player we've needed for a while. Good signing.
March 18, 2006 11:16 a.m.
    I used to hate this guy. Funny how things can change with time! Show TO the money & love he so craves, then kick his behind out the door after the Pokes win number 6! Great pickup if it happens. Cowboys forever!!!
March 18, 2006 11:15 a.m.
    Give him the contract that will keep him happy. He is worth it.
March 18, 2006 11:15 a.m.
    I agree that this is a HUGE HUGE H U G E risk. But what else is ou there? RECHE CALDWELL? a bunch of BUST recievers that want more money than they are worth.I think this HUGE RISK would bear even greater rewards if there is any peace at all in the relationship. BIG BILL, as he has said prior is TOO OLD FOR THUGS. But i dont think that is T.O's M.O. I think he is a BRAT and a Malcontenet that would benefit from the discipline of a Guy lik Parcells. LT said that he felt so bad about the way he behaved outside the football stadium, that he PLAYED like it was his last game EVERY GAME, as to not disappoint PARCELLS. I think we have a good opportunity to have a very dangerous offence with TO and could, If he is payed and enamored the way he likes... then he will be FINE!!
March 18, 2006 11:13 a.m.
    Another mouth for the Boys....
March 18, 2006 11:12 a.m.
    I will never attend, watch, purchase merchandise, or otherwise support the Dallas franchise effective immediately. My favorite team in the NFL is anyone playing the Cowboys!
March 18, 2006 11:11 a.m.
    I could not believe my eyes and ears - releasing Keyshawn and signing Owens. I will admit when Johnson first came to the Cowboys I was not too excited - all the rumors - his ego. But he impressed me - clutch player - determined- loved to win - excellent blocker - respected by his fellow players. But now he is gone and we get Owens. Oh, Hell, NO!! Some memories just don't go away and Owen's disrespect of our star on the 50 year line is one of them. I have been a fan of the Cowboys since Eddie Lebaron days - even have autographs from Bob Lily, Chuck Howley, Dan Reeves, Walt Garrison, Too-tall Jones - even have a Harvey Martin chinstrap. Not to mention about a million Cowboys shirts. I want Mr. Jones to know that if he does sign Owens, I am through with his team. I will get rid of all the Cowboy merchandise I own from the Jones era. Like the song says "my heroes have always been Cowboys, but now they are Lions, Cardinals, Rams, Dolphins - you get the idea. Good-by, Campbell, good-by, Glover, good-by, Coakly, good-by, Allen, Good-by Smith, good-by Aikman and now Keyshawn - shame on you Mr. Jones. Sign Owens and I think Jones will find alot more fans just like me - through his his Cowboys. Sundays won't find me arranging my day around kick-off time. It is one thing to want to win, but it is another to sell yourself to the devel and slap your fans in the face. And Owens is one big slap in the face.
March 18, 2006 11:10 a.m.
    Got to do what it takes to win, but...Here's what T.O. needs to do for everyone to forgive and forget about the "Star" incident and move on. On T.O.'s 1st touchdown in TX stadium, he should run back to the "Star" bow down to the "Star" and do that you're not worthy motion. Then as he gets up, do that heart/kiss motion. If he does this, all will be forgotten and we can move on to what really matters -bringing a Championship back to Dallas.
March 18, 2006 11:10 a.m.
    This is a risky business decision. T.O. is a great talent and is great at distroying chemistry in a looker room. However, morally the Cowboys should be ashamed of themselves. To say that they are heading in a different direction by passing on Randy Moss and now make a deal with a locker room cancer is insane.
March 18, 2006 11:10 a.m.
    I think this one will blow up on the Cowboys. There is a reason T.O. does not have a ring, he poisons every team he is part of.
March 18, 2006 11:09 a.m.
    UNBELIEVABLE!!!
March 18, 2006 11:07 a.m.
    I've been a 'Boys fan for a long time, and still remember going to Thanksgiving games looking for Ed Too Tall Jones and Danny White. But, if they sign this clown (T.O.), then I'll take a hiatus on rooting for them until he's gone.
March 18, 2006 11:04 a.m.
    I can deal with it. The Cowboys need some additional firepower in their offense. This will help Jason Witten, Terry Glenn and Juluis Jones. I have never had a problem with T.O. except when it came to the off the field issues and the media world flanning the flames day after day. The one thing I fear is that Terrell may not have learned his lesson, if a lesson was ever taught. I just hope he comes back to football to prove that he is the best receiver in the NFL and piss the sports media off by not giving them negative ammunition to fuel their headlines. Prove them wrong, T.O., just like they were when they said Jerry and Bill wouldn't make it. T.O. is the most exciting player in the NFL "ON THE FIELD". It's the negative stuff off the field that detracts from his greatness. Oh yeah, and the Star is waiting for you.
March 18, 2006 11:04 a.m.
    The NFL is a business First, there's no loyality towards the fans or to the city. It's about the money. So when you look it in that manner, T.O. will be the best weapon the Cowboys will have and will improve the team. Like most fans, hell no I don't like T.O., but the bootom-line is, I want the cowboys to win and get back to being America's team. If T.O. turns out to be a pain in the ass, that's Jerry's problem and then shame on the fans for buying tickets.
March 18, 2006 11:04 a.m.
    I've been following the Cowboys since I was a kid growing up around the world with my Dad in the AF and then I joined the AF and am still active duty. I watch as much Cowboys as I can get(Desert, Bosnia, Korea, and in the U.S. with Directv). If the Cowboys sign 'T'otally 'O'bnoxious I will reconsider my yearly subscription to Sunday Ticket. I would rather lose without TO than win with him. While I don not question his talent, as a TEAM player he is vile and disgusting. I cannot/will not forgive him for disgracing the star (even last year in the end zone) and hope Jerry's ambition and greed does not alienate those of us who have supported the Cowboys long before he came into the picture. Begging, Andy Schlachter USAF

    I dread that this might happen!!! I'm a long time season ticket holder and want badly to get back to the SUper Bowl. But I would rather not go back than go with T.O. I'm strongly condiering NOT renewing this year and I wish this was a way to protest this just to let Jerry and the Cowboys know how much we DON'T want a person lile T.O. Both Jerry and Bill stated in the past they want people with strong chararter on thsi team. This just goes to show you what hypocrites they are... I don't agree with some of the sports people that say we hate T.O. now, but will cheer him when he gets his first TD. If I go to games, I will Boo him at every turn..
March 18, 2006 11:03 a.m.
    For the first time I am not going to watch the Cowboys. TO is everything that is bad about football and to have him in Dallas will be a disgrace to the game real Cowboy Fans love. I'd rather have a losing season than watch kids learn from the bad manners, bad attitude and tremendous lack of respect Terrell Owens has for the Game and every teamate he's ever had. Count me OUT TO.
March 18, 2006 11:00 a.m.
    I hope Parcells can handle this guy. If he can, the Cowboys might go deep into the playoffs this year.
March 18, 2006 11:00 a.m.
    Pathetic. Finally cleaned the place up with the departure of Switzer polished it up with naming a Coach who has a clue while trying to rebuild,...then sign TO. A guy who spends hours in front of a mirror choreographing routines so he can impress his family & friends during his "me" moments. No one else is impressed. 16-0 will not matter. TO is an embarassment and the Eagles have got to be laughing and enjoying the irony of a same division team picking this guy up.
March 18, 2006 10:58 a.m.
    He's the best receiver in the league but carries a lot of baggage. I think he will significantly improve the offense as long as he keeps his mouth shut. As far as TO making them Superbowl contenders, maybe, but the Cowboys need to pick up a defensive back, preferably a safty.
March 18, 2006 10:53 a.m.
    He is like a cancer and will ruin the team. Dallas will make a huge mistake if they sign him to a contract, and I personally think so little of him as a man and a player that I will not watch them anymore. The Cowboys should have more character than this.
March 18, 2006 10:53 a.m.
    That's nice Jerry- get rid of leaders on the field and in the locker room such as La'Roi Glover, Keyshawn and Dan Campbell. Then bring in a cancer like T.O....Jerry, are you trying to destroy the Cowboys?????
March 18, 2006 10:51 a.m.
    If baby Owens apoligizes for defaming the greatest symbol in sports, the Star, I will be more willing to accept him. If not, I will boycott all Dallas Cowboys gear. I forgave Jones for firing Landry, but this is too much. I would rather find another team than have that maggot on my squad. Not everybody wants to win at all costs.
March 18, 2006 10:51 a.m.
    don't know right now, but once he puts on that uniform I'll be in his corner until the end.
March 18, 2006 10:49 a.m.
    Speechless, Disgusted, Disappointed... yet extremely intrigued!
March 18, 2006 10:49 a.m.
    Neither Jerry Jones nor Bill Parcells will be able to keep outlaw Terrell Owens from decimating the locker room, team cohesion, and fan loyalty to the team. Owens has lost a step in athletic ability. Only his mouth is a fast as it was in Philly.
March 18, 2006 10:46 a.m.
    we should sign him and kill him on the Star
March 18, 2006 10:44 a.m.
    I've been a Cowboys fan since their first year of existance. Signing T.O. might be enough to make me an ex-diehard Cowboy fan. If Jones wanted to go down this route, he should have drafted Randy Moss. T.O. will be a much worse distractor than Moss would have been. If Parcells couldn't control Antonio Byrant there is no way he is going to control Owens. Totally ignorant and the wrong message to send to everyone including fans.
March 18, 2006 10:44 a.m.
    I have been a Cowboys fan for 40 years. Getting t.o. is worse than firing Tom Landry. I'm out.
March 18, 2006 10:41 a.m.
    Jones and Owens should re-locate in Arkansas!!!
March 18, 2006 10:41 a.m.
    I cannot believe that Dallas would even entertain the idea. Dallas should be the LAST team considering Owens. He is in the news more for being an idiot than he is for his catches.. and it now seems that its OK to grandstand on the star at center field. Just another bad marketing move by Jerry Jones.
March 18, 2006 10:40 a.m.
    Bravo!
March 18, 2006 10:37 a.m.
    Jerry and Terrell go together like each other. Jerry as usual,Terrell should stay away from the COWBOY's logo.And the team.Or maybe Jerry could feed him some pablum at logo.
March 18, 2006 10:36 a.m.
    I don't like the guy...but he is a great receiver. If he learned something from his lengthy suspension he could take us to the next level.
March 18, 2006 10:34 a.m.
    I am a 46 yr old male who has been a Cowboy fan since the age of 6. If the man who stood on our star now becomes a teammate, I will never watch or attend another game. Instead I will work harder and smarter so that I might own the Cowboys and bring back the honor and integrity that Jerry Jones and Family have now successfully destroyed.
March 18, 2006 10:34 a.m.
    There's nothing wrong with Terrell Owens. ESPN and the rest of the sports media has made an example of him (probably because he treats them like dopes) but he hasn't done anything that other NFL players do all the time. It's a story created by the media, perpetuated by the media, and rekindled by the media. You can see that in all the negative comments on this board -- everyone is using the same words they use. Fine by me. When we're in the NFC Championship game next year this will all seem ridiculous (unless another correspondent goads him into saying something he wouldn't have otherwise said).
March 18, 2006 10:33 a.m.
    Can we sign a new owner instead???
March 18, 2006 10:31 a.m.
    What, Bin Laden wasn't available?
March 18, 2006 10:31 a.m.
    This is a real tough one for Cowboys fans. TO's talent on the field is nothing short of awesome and that has to be the driving force in Jerry's and Bill's mind. The problem is TO is sweaty dynamite - Play with it enough and it will blow up in your face. I pray he makes it through at least 1 whole season before he tears the team apart.
March 18, 2006 10:31 a.m.
    Big Mistake! TO has great skills, he is not a Great Player! Great Players improve the play of their teammates. Where has TO ever done this? 49ers, Eagles? Dont look for this to start now in Dallas. The Cowboys will win games and make the playoffs because of TO but in the end there will be no Super Bowl and a wrecked franchise when it is over. Thanks a lot Jerry!
March 18, 2006 10:31 a.m.
    Quick....get Dick Chaney down here to take Jerry Jones quail hunting
March 18, 2006 10:29 a.m.
    I would rather see the Cowboys go 0-16 than to see that sorry SOB in a Cowboys uniform. What a disgrace. Jerry Jones needs to do us all a favor and sell the team.
March 18, 2006 10:29 a.m.
    If the Cowboys can win every game then he will be fine, but once they lose one game then forget it, He will destroy this team like he has ever other team he has played for
March 18, 2006 10:29 a.m.
    Might as well go be a REDSKIN FAN!
March 18, 2006 10:26 a.m.
    Blahhhh!
March 18, 2006 10:26 a.m.
    I've been a fan since I was 5 years old...1965. If Jones brings that egotistical piece of &% to Dallas, I've watched my last game, listened to my last game and read my last article on the Cowboys.
March 18, 2006 10:26 a.m.
    If you listen carefully, you can hear the Eagles and their fans laughing hysterically!
March 18, 2006 10:26 a.m.
    Very bad idea. Almost and insult to us after he stomped on the star. What does Jerry want us to look like? Oakland and be the new "Bad Boy" image? So we can be on every black gang members T shirt? Just to sell more Cowboy appearal? Parcels is not going to like working with him, I agree with Tim's comments the other day. TO has no manors or class and will not be liked by the general public and will get on the wrong side of the media and then claim he is misunderstood by all bringing his performace down because of the distraction. It cheapens Dallas visually too.
March 18, 2006 10:24 a.m.
    I'm so disgusted that I'm going to gather my Cowboys gear and burn it the minute they sign the contract. Then I ought to mail the remnants to Jerry with a suggestion.
March 18, 2006 10:24 a.m.
    I LOVE THE COWBOYS !!!! BUT JERRY has stepped out of the line. Why cant he just retire and let his son take over. OWENS is a great player but a selfish player. MAYBE JERRY THINKS HE IS GOD AND HE CAN CHANGE ANYONE. WHATEVER... MAYBE this is just a strategy. WHO KNOWS. IM Glad we still have PARCELLS. I cant believe he has lasted. Well Im a true fan of the Cowboys not of Jerry. Maybe we can all strike against Jerry so he can retire. Well I wish Owens the best because it's not going to be easy and he better have a speech for being accepted to DALLAS. OTHERWISE there is going to be a lot BOOING in the stadium. Another thing after the new stadium is done will it still be the DALLAS COWBOYS OR ARLINGTON COWBOYS. By then I think I am going to quit being a Cowboys fan. GOOD LUCK
March 18, 2006 10:23 a.m.
    Very poor choice but typical for Jones.
March 18, 2006 10:23 a.m.
    dumbest move ever made by the Cowboys. TO is overrated, self centered and will ruin the team chemistry. makes me want to follow another team.
March 18, 2006 10:22 a.m.
    If the signing of TO goes down, it's going to signal the beginning of an season where it's going to be awfully hard to be a Cowboys fan. No single player, coach, or personality invokes the kind of outright hatred that TO does. He embodies everything that is wrong with the sport, from his egotism and arrogance, to the agressive disresepect that he seems compelled to show everyone that crosses his path. I'll still be a Cowboys fan, as I'm not going to give up on the team because of one player. We shouldn't let TO take that away from us. But it's going to be hard. Another disturbing thing about this signing is that Jerry Jones continues to build a team with aging veterans at the WR position. Great, another 33 year-old receiver huh? Not even a mention of trying to admit the Drew Henson mistake and pick up a solid, YOUNG, backup at QB. Maybe one day we'll quit trying to get QBs on the cheap and pick up the next Troy Aikman. I still believe that it is legal to draft a AQ in the first round. Right??? TO, if you come to Dallas, we will still root for our Cowboys. But we wish nothing but failure for you, both in life and in your career. I think we should all settle in and get ready for the circus that's coming to town. It's gonna be a long year.
March 18, 2006 10:21 a.m.
    What disgrace to the Cowboys organization.
March 18, 2006 10:20 a.m.
    I think allowing this animal lose in the locker toom will bring Dallas Cowboys down further, the Coach is aging, Owens is toxin it's a mixture that brings doom. Jones as usual wants to be in the news, cares nothing for CLASS... been that way since he bought the Cowboys. This is one fan who if Owens signs will tune out, turn off and boytcott all things Cowboys... of course what will Jones pathetic excuse be when Owens demands a new contract....or throughs a fit... will he refund the dollars to the fans who get ripped off while the Cowboy freefall continiues???
March 18, 2006 10:18 a.m.
    This breaks it. I will support another football team if any at all. I don't want to watch a circus and I don't want anything to do with Dallas Cowboys and that is weird, but not hard to say. I used to love it, but Jones is just about money. If he cared anything about character and tradition of the game he never touches TO. PT Barnum runs the COwboys until they no longer make him money and then he's gone. I can never again believe him that he's sensitive to the history. Its money period and will never be different. Jones was a slick kid long before he was a offensive lineman for Arkansas. Leopards don't change their spots.
March 18, 2006 10:17 a.m.
    I'm totally against it. TO is the sorriest player in the NFL. Of course, like other wishy washy Cowboy fans, I'll probably change my mind once he scores his first toughdown.
March 18, 2006 10:17 a.m.
    Well we might as well jump on this one cause we will be regretting this either way..one if he plays for another team hurting our secondary and 2 if we do sign him and he acts up hurting our locker room chemistry, but I will be really excited to have T.O. as a Cowboy and so will everyone else that is saying otherwise.
March 18, 2006 10:17 a.m.
    IF Bill P. is open to having T.O. on his team that only can mean one thing: that he has had a long conversation with T.O. about his attitude and what is expected of him. Our coach would NEVER has accepted T.O. and the potential downside under any other circumstance.
March 18, 2006 10:17 a.m.
    Signing TO is an insult to the proud history of the Cowboys. Roger Staubach, Too Tall Jones, Moose Johnson and so mnay others were men of principle. Owens is an egomaniac. Parcells and Jones should be ashamed of themselves.
March 18, 2006 10:17 a.m.
    How many rings does TO have? How much disruption (that's being too kind) does he cause? Enough said.
March 18, 2006 10:17 a.m.
    Funny thing is I bet T.O. will have a different attitude after being sat for most of a season. ie. Keyshawn Johnson, This will be a breakout year as a person, because lets face it, he doesn't have too many more years left and this is about one of 3 teams who were willing to try him out. Pro bowl year and a super bowl run.
March 18, 2006 10:17 a.m.
    I would assume that Parcells has already spoken with Terrell Owens and feels that the situation is tolerable. He is a superstar and those might come around once in a blue moon, so it is a good pickup.
March 18, 2006 10:16 a.m.
    Real bad idea. A life-long Cowboys fan, I will not ever cheer for anything that Owens does for the team.
March 18, 2006 10:16 a.m.
    Wow, this is one of those pivotal moments in the direction of a franchise. TOwens will either come in and realize that this is his last chance at the age of 32 and respond well to Parcells leadership, like Keyshawn and Glenn did, or he will destroy this team with his selfish antics and bad behavior. I will find it hard to root for a guy like Owens, especially with the image of him in a 49er uniform stomping on the Texas star at midfield back in his early days.
March 18, 2006 10:15 a.m.
    I love the Cowboys, but I don't think I can stomach this.
March 18, 2006 10:15 a.m.
    I'm an Eagles fan and Owens was great in his first year with the team. However, I remember two years ago, the Eagles started something like 6-0 before getting killed by Pittsburgh. If you remember, in that game, he was going after McNabb. After that loss they won 6 more games before he got injured by your boy Williams. So they were something around 12-1 before he missed the rest of the season. What will he do if the Cowboys are 5-3? However, I'd like to think he learned his lesson and will play hard and not be a cancer.
March 18, 2006 10:15 a.m.
    im terminating all ties with the Cowboys. Im now a Redskin fan.
March 18, 2006 10:14 a.m.
    In my opinion, Jerry Jones will be making the mistake of a lifetime if he signs Terrell Owens. Owens has shown the kind of person he is with past teams. I don't care how good a player he is, you have to draw the line somewhere. I have been a Cowboys fan since the early 70's, when we had Tom Landry, however I can't cheer for someone like Owens,a man who makes a mockery of everyone who disagrees with him. Jerry Jones could take a few lessons from Tom Landry, a man who knew that it wasn't just about winning. I repeat, I WILL NOT WELCOME TERRELL OWENS!!!
March 18, 2006 10:12 a.m.
    One more criminal to add to the mix. Never mind, I guess America's Team has that reflection now anyway. I have better things to do on Sunday's than be "entertained" by ignorance.
March 18, 2006 10:11 a.m.
    I agree with Dale Hanson on all but one point. This is a horrible move for the Cowboys, but the Switzer hiring will still be the worst. That cost Dallas a chance at 4, maybe 5 straight Super Bowl wins, which is a record no one would have ever touched. Owens helps on the field and will probably propel the Cowboys to the playoffs next year, but he's selfish, classless and not worthy of ever wearing the famous star. I'd rather the Cowboys miss the playoffs than to have to root for this guy, even though I'm sure I will for at least 3 hours a week. If I can make myself root for Deion with a star on his helmet, I guess I can root for anyone.
March 18, 2006 10:10 a.m.
    We're going to the bowl!
March 18, 2006 10:09 a.m.
    Great! Sticking it to Philly with TO will be a ton of fun.
March 18, 2006 10:09 a.m.
    Thanks for nothing Jerry Jones. You won't put Drew Pearson in the Ring of Honor and now you bring a jerk into town. You have no class and it shows.
March 18, 2006 10:08 a.m.
    After the first touchdown TO makes in Dallas, he will polish the star, and everyone will say what a great move it was to bring to TO in...everyone will say, what a great owner Jerry Jones has become. It's all about business, win NOW, and if this TO thing doesn't pan out in the next 2 years, release him. Dallas will make the playoffs and you'll see everyone wearing TO shirts in Texas Stadium, just like before with Sanders, Keyshawn, and Haley.
March 18, 2006 10:08 a.m.
    Jerry, you classless bonehead. Please step down.
March 18, 2006 10:08 a.m.
    Hmmpf! Any superbowl win during T.O.'s tenure will be considered his singular achievement, not the team's success. Any chance Coach Parcells would depart from his training camp tradition and make Owens his waterboy instead of a rookie? A dose of humility would be a good place to start! PS - Unforgiven for his antics on the Cowboys' Star, Owens better not try that nonsense with another team now that he represents the Cowboys!
March 18, 2006 10:08 a.m.
    Cool!
March 18, 2006 10:07 a.m.
    It's all about winning and who can and will help you win. It's idiotic to keep harping on the fact that Owens exhibited some tastless exuberance years ago by dancing on the star at the center of the field in Texas Stadium. The referee should have thrown a flag and penalized him for taunting. Many athletes feel the impulse to taunt or exhibit their superiority, prowess, one-up-manship. That's a natural human impulse, like tearing down Sadam's statue in difiance. There's no point in getting stuck on stupid just because someone exhibits their enthusiasm in a manner that offends our sensibilities. We probably do the same thing to other teams, or their mascots, without thinking much of it. Besides, athletes are not paid for being smart, but, rather, for being good at what they do. If the NFL wanted players to be smart, they'd pay them more for their smarts than for their athleticism. When we, as a country become smart, will reward geniuses with a lot more than money than we reward athletes. But as long as being entertained is more important than intelligence, we'll keep making athletes multi-millionaires and penalize genius by turning down much needed grants.
March 18, 2006 10:07 a.m.
    I'd say that the two deserve each other. Jerry either is sly like a fox, truly desperate or has received word from God that TO is fully redeemed and rehabilitated. I vote for #2. T.O. essentially shot Dallas the finger from our own 50-yard line, now he has the last laugh. I wouldn't have thought that J.J. would take that as a man, but as an NFL owner maybe that's what things have sunk to these miserable days.
March 18, 2006 10:06 a.m.
    Sad day to be a cowboy fan.
March 18, 2006 10:06 a.m.
    If any coach can keep the ego in check and the player on track it is Parcells. Let's hope TO feels he has something to prove given last season's debacle with the Eagles.
March 18, 2006 10:05 a.m.
    I think that is is amazing that everyone is getting all worked up about T.O. I guess everybody has forgotten what happened with this team last year in game 16. They gave up on their coach (if you call him one). Bill Parcells has only one agenda on his mind, and he's working it to perfection: To set the Cowboys back another 5-7 years while he sits back and watches them self-destruct in his big new house in NEW YORK! He's past his prime (I don't really believe he ever had it)...We need to get rid of PARCELLS first before anyone gets excited around here. If you don't believe me, sit back and watch!!!
March 18, 2006 10:04 a.m.
    I think it might work out seeing this will be Terrell Owens last chance with a NFL team! I think Parcells will keep him in line!
March 18, 2006 10:03 a.m.
    America's Team is now America's Nightmare. If Owens could not get along with McNabb, how in the world will be get along with Bledsoe.
March 18, 2006 10:03 a.m.
    IT'S A ROUGH GAME ,SO, ANYTIME YOU GET THE CHANCE TO GET THE BEST PLAYER YOU TAKE HIM. GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO REDEEM HIMSELF.
March 18, 2006 10:01 a.m.
    Life long Cowboys fan - I will be Texans fan
March 18, 2006 10:01 a.m.
    As a Cowboy fan, "I hate me some me" for kinda liking this deal.
March 18, 2006 10:00 a.m.
    HOW FAR WILL THE COWBOYS GO TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP? JUST THE THOUGHT OF CONSIDERING TERRELL OWENS AS A POSITIVE ADDITION TO THE COWBOYS IS A TRUE SIGN OF DESPERATION ON THE PART OF THE ORGANIZATION! THIS PRIMA DONNA DESERVES WHAT HE GOT IN PHILLY AND IF JERRY JONES THINKS HIS ATTITUDE WILL CHANGE HERE DALLAS, THEN I HAVE GOT 2 WORDS FOR MR. JONES " GO REDSKINS!" A MAN WHO HAS PERSONALLY DISRESPECTED OUR " BLUE STAR" IN FRONT OF ALL THE FANS NOW WANTS TO BE PART OF THIS TEAM! COME ON JERRY! THINK ABOUT US FOR ONCE!!!!!
March 18, 2006 09:59 a.m.
    Jones has gone too far. I don't care how good T.O. is, he has no business wearing a star on his helmet. And with Jerry making such a big deal about getting him here, Parcells will have no leverage to keep him in line. I don't care how many games the Cowboys win this year, I will not watch a Cowboys team that puts T.O. on the field.
March 18, 2006 09:59 a.m.
    He's not worth it!!!
March 18, 2006 09:59 a.m.
    I want my team to win and win now. If it takes TO to make it happen... then let it be. Im interested in winning another championship. I feel TO can get things done and give us a chance at another superbowl championship. If he apologizes for his disrespecting the Cowboys fans then I'm willing to forget...lets give him a chance and see what Coach Parcells can do to help the Cowboys
March 18, 2006 09:58 a.m.
    Typical Jerry Jones...... This should signal the end of the Bill Parcells era and the Cowboys will fall further and further from playoff contention. TO should have the lockerrom in total chaos by the end of september. I am hoping for a total fan boycott.
March 18, 2006 09:58 a.m.
    If anyone is ever going to sign this guy now is the time. His ego has been chopped down to size and he will be at his most managable. Give him a short contract, get a couple good years from him and unload when his attitude turns him back to the TO of the Eagles.
March 18, 2006 09:57 a.m.
    Open letter to T.O. - You are in Texas now.... And even better a Cowboy. We love your skills, even more so if you bring us back to the promise land where we haven't been since 1995. If you want to have one of the best comeback stories in NFL history, show up the Eagles for ever letting you go, and becoming a viable corporate sponsor so you can make more green.... here is what you need to do. Run your routes, catch some balls, put the ball in the enzone. Leave Drew Rosenhaus in Philadelphia (any other agent would have had you playing in the playoffs last year)and please... Act like a man (Remember, you are in Texas, not Punkadelphia), quit the crying, and if Drew doesn't throw you the ball, shut the f#k up, and catch the next one. It's that easy. Welcome to Dallas, where if you screw up our team like you did in Philly, you and your agent will not be found or heard from again.
March 18, 2006 09:56 a.m.
    Thank you Dale! I KNEW you would be the voice of reason. I was absolutely appalled at the number of people interviewed that were happy about this disrespectful, narcissistic, trouble-maker becoming a Dallas Cowboy. Having anything to do with the Cowboy organization used to mean something, 99.9% of that organization was beyond reproach, something to be proud of. Slowly, over the years, the organization is becoming just like every other organization, focusing only on the almighty dollar, character means absolutely nothing. I don't give a hoot what someone's stats are if they are a low-life! "T.O" would absolutely be THE WORST decision Jerry Jones has ever made and I HATE it that the Cowboys are even entertaining the idea of bring him to Dallas to become a Dallas Cowboy! I'm almost embarrassed to call myself a Cowboy fan. I knew I could count the fact that you would feel the same.
March 18, 2006 09:55 a.m.
    I DO NOT like the idea. Terrell Owens is a neurotic individual who only plays for himself. I think Jerry Jones has no regard for anyone but himself. Maybe Jerry Jones and Terrell Owens should also get married. They are two peas in a pod! I have been a cowboy fan since their inception but now they can go to hell!
March 18, 2006 09:55 a.m.
    well lets roll the dice why don't we?
March 18, 2006 09:55 a.m.
    It will be sad to have to give up watching the Cowboys for three years.
March 18, 2006 09:54 a.m.
    it will be a bad deal
March 18, 2006 09:54 a.m.
    TO is easily one of the top three(maybe the best) receiver in the NFL. He is also one of the biggest distractions of all time. If he can keep the bullcrap in check, he will be a huge success in Dallas
March 18, 2006 09:54 a.m.
    Boys and girls this is going to be a wild ride!
March 18, 2006 09:54 a.m.
    It is a disgrace. I take the celebration on the Star very seriously. Even Emmitt made mention of it during his retirement press conference. It will be a mistake. TO only cares about TO. I will not be a Cowboys fan anymore if they sign him. Jerry Jones might as well be Al Pacino from the Movie the "Devil's Advocate."
March 18, 2006 09:54 a.m.
    I think jery jones is stupid for signing Terrell Owens.

    Jerry Jones is making a big mistake. TO will tear the locker room apart since there are no strong leaders. This move will hurt the team for years to come. Let some other team have the headache of TO.

    Owens is Not a team player (Never Has & Never Will Be), as witnessed by his previous employers. Considering his attitude, he should take up singles tennis. That way, Owens has nothing but himself to complain over !

    Jones has been obsessing that he didn't get Randy Moss--this is a death wish!
