Just waiting for the first time Parcells decides to bench him just to remind him who's boss.

It's more of the media overblowing it. I don't care about what Parcells and TO say about the 2nd week of him having a hamstring injury and him riding a bike. OMG he might sit out a preseason game, how are the Cowboys and TO going to win any games if he doesn't play?

RatmanReturns

The media may be overblowing it right now, but Parcells is a control freak. So long as he feels Owens is being sincere about his injury progress, things will be fine. But once Parcells thinks he's being strung along, all hell will break loose.

druzus

the media has blown him up in the past majorly, they are blowing him up now, and they will continue to blow hi up in the future. the cameras follow him no matter where he goes or what happens. this year he may be fine with how he does...but it will ware on the entire cowboys team. im not saying this cause im jealous as some would say...im saying this cause im experienced with how it works. i obviously wasnt a part of it first hand, but i watched how it deteriorated my team to an unacceptable 6-10 last year.

Not a single NFL player likes training camp, yet everyone else seems to be getting by just fine. If he was hurt, I'd understand it. But not only did he look like he was doing things in full speed on the sidelines yesterday, he also looked really good doing them.

My main question is, why is he not practicing? He really is a horrendous teammate, there's no other way to put it IMO

WHISPERS CIRCULATE REGARDING WHETHER TUNA HAS GONE SOFT

As Cowboys coach Bill Parcells apparently tries his damnedest not to create headlines by subjecting receiver Terrell Owens to the same treatment that any other player on one of his teams would experience if they missed 13 straight practices with a hamstring injury that showed up on an MRI as a bruised vagina, Parcells is the target of scuttlebutt in league circles that the Tuna has lost his teeth.

Parcells' strategy, it seems, is to give Owens plenty of room to recover from the hamstring "injury," if for no reason other than to avoid giving 99 percent of the media and all non-Cowboys fans the satisfaction of seeing the T.O. era end even before it begins.

The consequences? League insiders can't believe what they're seeing and hearing.

Here's a prime example. On Monday, Owens said, "It's just a situation where we all have to be patient with one another."

Said one league source in response: "That is a f--king joke. The coach has the final word."

On Tuesday, Owens missed practice again. And Parcells seems to be sick of talking about it. "I really don't have much to say," Parcells said. "This subject's getting a little redundant."

It is getting a little redundant, Coach. And though we freely admit that we're one of the many who'd love to see this thing blow sky high, there are only two men who push the calendar beyond February 2nd -- Owens, and you.

With each passing day in which Owens gets his way and the head coach doesn't, Parcells' authority within the locker room is undermined, and his stature around the league is diminished.

this could easily fit into the thread "the TO cancer" on the nfc board

Lots of egos in Dallas. If anyone can make it work, Parcells is probably the guy.
