Miraculous return to form by T.O.
The resurrection of the Sex Cannon wasn’t the only whiff of nostalgia in the air yesterday. After the Cowboys’ latest humiliating defeat, we were treated to something we had assumed had gone the way of the passenger pigeon or Keith Olbermann’s sense of humility: Terrell Classic.
See how skillfully Terrell belabors the fact that he isn’t going to give his opinion, and then deftly solicits quarterbacking from the assembled media. Crafty! My mother-in-law is a black-belt in passive-aggressive behavior, but she could learn some tricks from ol’ 81.
This is the T.O. of old– not the ODing, blubbering, admonisher-of-popcorn-preparation Terrell we’ve seen since he joined the Cowboys. No, this is the sulking egomaniac we remember from S.F. and Philly– the one who wouldn’t think twice to openly question the heart (and/or sexuality) of his quarterback. Welcome back, old friend. We missed you.

You’d think a pro football team would have a better plan for backup QB’s than Hume Cronin and one of the Hanson brothers.

Hey TO, I watched you drop a handful of passes yesterday and fumble away another catch. Look in the mirror buddy. You are just as big of a problem.
At least he didn’t cry though

Dante Culpepper is kicking himself for signing with the Lions so quickly.

I didn’t think I could replace his Quarterback. I mean that’s his Quarterback.

Somewhere, Donovan McNabb and Jeff Garcia are sharing a Bud Light (It’s Got Drinkability) and laughing manically. Then Garcia gives McNabb a Rusty Trombone.

Alligator mouth overloads hummingbird hands. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

i want to see the raiders and the cowboys join forces to become the most entertainingly awful team the world has ever seen

Here are the two biggest constants in any sports section across America:
1) Talking about how much TO is a selfish, arrogant jerk, who the media wastes too much time on.
2) Following around TO, hoping to record and report his opinion on anything.
I mean, shit guys, I’d be fuckin’ aggravated if I had these douchebags following me around 24/7, waiting to pounce on and misconstrue every word I say. Give the man a break.

Terrell Classic. Not to be confused with Terrell’s short-lived, caffeine-free spinoff, Crystal Terrell.

I’ll shit in the mouth of whatever quarterback you play.

@ Justin Tuck
you know better than to tackle a QB with full body weight.
November 3rd, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Justin Tuck don’t know to do it no other way.
In all seriousness, is this not the dumbest fucking rule in professional sports? Coaches can’t even caution their guys against it, because otherwise you wind up with situations where your defenders are hesitant about hitting the QB at all for fear that they’ll be penalized. You just have to say, “Keep going 100%. If one of these goat raping refs blows a whistle, it’s on me.”

Is it just me or do all the google ads say vote yes on Prop 8. Methinks google is on to you guys.
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:39 pm
Welcome back, T.O. We love you!
November 3rd, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Seriously. McNabb was puking on the field in the Super Bowl and it cost us a Super Bowl.
And Jeff Garcia, I mean, well, he is a fag. Didn’t exactly let the cat out of the bag on that one.
Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut, but everyone knows these things to be true.

As a longtime Cowboys fan, I believe we are on the precipice of the ” when ” in regards to the Cowboys imploding.
Here’s the really frustrating part – we’ve seen this before. Back in 1990 when Aikman went down, the backup was horrible too. (Babe Laufenberg iirc). So what did Johnson do? Get Steve Buerlein. Jones, who fancies himself a GM (he’s actually terri-bad at judging playing talent) got Brad Johnson.
Jones’ is great at picking a great head hardnosed head coach, letting them build the team, then getting all JERRAL, letting said head coach leave and hiring a “softer” approach guy to win with the first guy’s talent.
And don’t get me started on his penchant for overpaying for WR’s.
