Look nobody is going to keep T.O under control. The mistake every team that signs him makes is thinking that he will change or that they can stop his childish behavior. The truth is he is literally a cancer to everytime he is on and only serves to make them worse.

I think the Eagles did the right thing by benching his ass, and I hope the Cowboys do the same if he acts up again.

I love how folks get so easily spun by media coverage.

Yeah...Owens single handedly tore apart the 49er and Eagle locker rooms and he'll do the same in Dallas.

Any of you guys that actually played football in HS/college know that one guy can't do sh1t to a locker room. A couple of guys can set it off but there has to be a lot of bad blood around to do anything.

Yup, you make an even stronger point for the arguement above, NFL locker rooms are less emotional and more professional.

One man can divide a locker room, and that can be trouble, it happened in Philly, half sided with TO the other with Mcnabb.

But as long as Dallas wins they will be fine, and everyone will be happy, but if they start losing thats when the finger pointing will start, and i can say with out a doubt that TO will be at the center of it.

Divided locker room or not, that is not why the Eagles sucked last year. The vast majority of the team was injured.

True, TO was not the only reason for thier downfall, but he was a reason. ANd i thought Philly has been over hyped for the last couple of years, they were only good because the rest of the NFC was that bad.

But everything goes in waves, and now the NFC is becoming the stronger conference.

If half truly sided with TO that makes it likely that his gripes had merit. It also means he still didn't single handedly tear anything apart since half the locker room felt the same way he did. Their clubhouse problems were obviously deeper than one person.

High school and college football didn't have 5 million dollar a year egos to throw around either.

The 'boys kicking situation definitely got more interesting after THU night...2 missed kicks in OT....granted he is not a 100%, but given their kicking woes after the last couple of years...
