When Widdle Terri Owens put a pen to a Cowboys contract, local wags here started a pool on just when he’d start acting like the asshole he is.

Some postulated that he’d wait until the bonuses kicked in during the contract’s second year, as has been his pattern whereever he’s gone.&#160 Other, more cynical pundits didn’t think it’d take that long, noting that Bill Parcells is a harder-assed coach than either Andy “Fat Ass” Reid or Stevie “How about a nice round of Kum Ba Yah?” Mariucci, Widdle Terri’s previous two bosses.

Score one for the cynics.

At issue, as it has been for weeks now, is when, if ever, Owens will quit using his hamstring tweak as an excuse not to practice. He has ruled himself out for Saturday night’s preseason game with San Francisco at Texas Stadium, the third Cowboys’ preseason game he’s skipped, and hinted strongly that he might not make another appearance in a Dallas uniform before the season opener in Jacksonville Sept. 10.

That news prompted a quick response from Parcells when he addressed the media Wednesday.

“I wouldn’t put a player out there if I haven’t seen him practice,” Big Bill deadpanned.

As it damned well should be.&#160 This isn’t a game of 11-on-10-and-here’s-one-guy-out-here-doing-his-own-thing.&#160 This is a team sport – you play as a team, and you damned well practice&#160 as a team, too.

But in this test of two very strong wills, t.o. (I refuse to even capitalize his initials) isn’t flinching.

“If he wants to see something,” Owens said of Parcells, “he has 10 years of film he can go back and look on.”

Yeah, you dumb shit.&#160 He has 10 years of you running routes in that limp-wristed, pansy-assed, two-yard-dump-and-run-away West Coast Offense.

Last I checked, we didn’t run the WCO here. (Granted, I’m not sure what the Hell&#153 we do&#160 run – but we tried the WCO once, and figured out a way to fuck it up.&#160 Then again, it was&#160 Bruce Coslet coordinating it…but I digress.)

The routes aren’t the same, the blocking schemes aren’t the same, the blitz-pickup-packages aren’t the same…need I go on?

What happens, Widdle Terri, the first time a play calls for you to run an out route, and you fall back into your pansy-assed WCO habits and run a crossing route?&#160 Hmmm?

Now get your ugly ass back out on the field, and be damned&#160 glad I’m not the coach, or you’d have a lot more to worry about than your hammy – courtesy of the meanest, baddest-assed lineman I had.

Let’s get to this week’s games.&#160 Miami’s Dolphins will tackle the Panthers in Carolina tonight on Fox; Pittsburgh & Philadelphia stage their annual cross-state preseason rivalry in the City of Brotherly Shove tomorrow night on ESPN; Houston travels to Denver to play the Broncos Sunday night on the NFL Network, and it’ll be Favre vs. Palmer as Green Bay goes to Cincinnati Monday night.

Saturday night, the Cowboys are at home against the San Transexual Fairy Whiners, which is a good time to give a shout-out to all the guys over at the 49er Haters Society (formerly at www.49erhaters.com)…except they seem to not exist anymore.

Pity.

Anyway, with a year under his belt, Alex Smith should pose a stronger test for the Cowboy defense than what they’ve seen the last two weeks.&#160 It’ll be interesting to see.

We’re back Tuesday for something resembling a recap.&#160 It’s your turn now to ramble on incoherently about your teams, so get busy.

  1. Note the image at the top left of Jay’s site.

    The Clyde mentioned is Clyde Tombaugh, discoverer of Pluto.

  2. Oops, that was supposed to be in the Pluto post comments, obviously.

  3. Yeah, I know.&#160 Unfortunately, this version of Movable Type won’t allow me to move the comment. (sigh)

  4. SkipSmith says:

    The 49er Hater Society doesn’t exist any more because I harassed those fuckers right off the internet. Some of their members still run for cover when I show up.

  5. Maybe if you bathed more often…? (snicker)
