Welcome to the Realm™ - Version 5.0...

I keep thinking I’m going to wake up, and the nightmare will be over.

I keep thinking that the only bitching I have to do about the Cowgirls during Perfect Football Weekends&#153 next year is how Drew “The Human Statue” Bledsoe has to be replaced, yesterday,&#160 by Tony Romo.

But the nightmare is real, and so is the pain.&#160 Little Terri Owens, He Who Can’t Be Touched Without The NFL Making A Rule Against It&#153, is now a Dallas Cowboy.

From a purely football standpoint, the move makes sense offensively.&#160 With two quality receivers now on each side, teams will no longer be able to stack eight in the box against the run, thus giving Julius Jones & Marion Barber III more room to run.&#160 Nor will teams be able to run double coverage on Glenn, as they did when he lined up opposite Keyshawn Johnson.&#160 Patrick Crayton & James Witten will also benefit from what will almost certainly be looser coverage.

The only question will be whether the Cowboys can protect Bledsoe any better than they did last year.&#160 When they did, the Cowboys were very, very good.

When they didn’t

The other&#160 question surrounding Widdle Terri Owens is how many temper tantrums he throws before Opening Day.&#160 The child (and I do&#160 mean “child”) is, quite frankly, a clubhouse cancer.&#160 He’s split two locker rooms already, and there’s not reason one to suspect he won’t do the exact same thing here.

We can be reasonably certain that Terri will behave himself in 2006.&#160 Whether he does that in ’07 or beyond is anyone’s guess – and the smart money will forever say “no” on that issue.

As for me and how this figures into Perfect Football Weekends&#153 – I haven’t decided.&#160 Do I retain the ‘Boys as one of my PFW teams?&#160 Or do I join the Anti-Cowboy Faction and pull for whomever plays them this year?

I suppose I have time to think it over, but it’s not a decision I relish making.&#160 I’ve lived & died with this franchise for over 30 years now, ever since I noticed that they were there and were worth paying attention to, and it’ll be tough to tell them what they can do with themselves.&#160 (For me, anyway – I fully realize that Owner Jethro (thanks, Gil LeBreton) couldn’t give two shits about what this scribe thinks.)

Tune in come August.&#160 For now – I’ll put the over/under on Owens tantrums at…four.

Let the sport…commence!

  1. Rush Limbaugh likes the trade – it means Owens will be playing against the Eagles twice per season.

  2. Elephant Man says:

    Heh, did I call it or what?

    My prediction:

    He’ll be a choir boy for this season. (Unless Bledsoe has problems getting him the ball whereupon he’ll start sniping at Bledsoe about his age and how he’s a “washed up old has-been”)

    It’s after this first season that you have to watch out, especially if he puts up good numbers.

    He’ll demand that Jerry Jones renegotiate his contract blah blah, etc.

    Owens is so predictable as to be formulaic.

    It’ll be interesting to see if the Cowboys fans will forgive him for all his outlandish “dissing” of the Cowboys over the years.

    He’s sucking up now but you have to remember that when he was with S.F. and Philly, he singled out Dallas to perform his more antagonizing antics.

    I’m sure the main reason he signed with Dallas (and Jerry Jones’ reason for signing him) is for the opportunity to “stick it” to the Eagles.

    That being said, I’m sure the Eagles defense is looking to do a “Michael Irvin headplant” on him so it’s kind of a double edged sword….

    Like Spats said…..”Let the games commence!” 😀

    Owens has a bigger problem with his overblown ego than Ted Kennedy has with drinkin himself into a staggering drunk…im just glad he didnt wind up with the Steelers…sorry, we all know how the Cowboys and Steelers had that rivalry going for awhile, but much like youreself,Spats, i remain loyal to my team which i have been since their best days in the 70’s…best to both teams this season..who knows, maybe we could both get lucky and have on of them rematch SuperBowls..that would be awesome

  4. Hmmm…Jerry Jones and Terrell Owens in a room together…wouldn’t the close proximity of those two egos cause a rift in the fabric of space-time?
