Half true, he's 35 so those clowns that run the eagles would have cut or dropped him this offseason.
(look at dawk, runyan, trotter, etc....)
He's thinking about the bungles
Same thing. Both from Ohio, both wear Orange and both suck.
Lack of talent should not be a problem for the Cowboys. Roy Williams was a pro bowler in Detroit, no less. Besides the Cowboys D stunk it up just as much as their offense did. Anyone remember those long TD runs Baltimore had against them?
I don't remember Tank Johnson being too bad though, feels like he was released more to play the media's 'Cowboys purging the bad boys' headlines more.
As I'm sure it is being done in most NFL markets, sports talk radio here in Indy is all a twitter with the "Would TO be a good fit on our team" prattle...
I can just imagine the interview between TO and Bill Polian, the Colts GM!!!...

The safety Roy Williams is one of the most overrated DB's in the league. How many Pro Bowls has he made? Whatever it is it's too many cause every time I see him it's when he's chasing some guy to the endzone after he got beat deep again.
Body isn't cold and 13 teams have said no to TO in some way shape or form - ProFootballTalk.com - THE ANTI-T.O. LIST
For anyone who thinks that getting rid of a player considered to be a "cancer" is going to make Dallas better in the long-term, let me remind you of what the 49ers have become since he left:
In the five seasons following Owens' departure from the 49ers, they have won 25 games total.
Also, IIRC, I know this is all about improving team chemistry in the locker room. Remember when Herman Edwards said, "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!"
I can't imagine anyone saying, "You play to develop good chemistry."
For everyone who thinks that getting rid of a locker room malcontent will make things better, there is also the other side- that a team could be more concerened with locker-room happiness than on-the-field suckiness.
I'm not a TO fan, but I feel that every case deserves a point/counterpoint

I agree completely, there are things bigger than chemistry, and that's an overabundance of talent. Not having chemistry though is like taking the field 1-2 people down, things just don't work.
Though for some teams, it would take a lot more than chemistry with their current level of talent.

The 49ers comparison is not appropriate. They are the worst run team in the NFL besides Oakland and Detroit. I agree that getting rid of TO doesn't solve all their problems, hence my comment on their defense and they have no one to blame but themselves for signing him in the first place. But sometimes you have to cut bait and TO is a loser plain and simple, a total prima donna franchise killer. Dallas made the right move here although the better move would have been to never have signed TO in the first place.
Didn't hurt the Eagles losing him though...
The Eagles may NOT have sucked...but, they needed the Raiders to help them into the playoffs this year, were 7-9 last year and 10-6 the year before.
10-6 the season after he left is pretty good...McNabb's health has had more effect on them than losing Owens...
