Fan4life Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3152144 T.O. irritated by Keyshawn's assertions about current team Terrell Owens, unusually quiet this season, but never at a loss for words when the occasion required it, responded forcefully Wednesday to comments made last weekend by former Dallas Cowboys receiver Keyshawn Johnson, now an analyst on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown." On the show, Johnson said he believed former Cowboys coach Bill Parcells -- now also an analyst with ESPN -- deserves credit for what the Dallas team looks like now, with a 12-1 record. Owens In Dallas, Owens sharply criticized Johnson for defending Parcells, saying, "I challenge him to come down here and take my job. ESPN producers, let him go." Asked in the locker room why Johnson would take the position he did Sunday, Owens said: "I'm probably the reason he's in the booth now. He's going to be a hater and throw me under the bus because he has to defend Bill. He won a Super Bowl and all, but you'd have to check the roster to know he was even on the team. "We came out in the same year. He was a first-rounder and I was a third. Go compare our stats. He couldn't come down here now and be a third or fourth receiver on this team. Just compare our stats." Owens swung between addressing the Cowboys-as-built-by-Parcells theory and responding to Johnson's comments. "It's not a matter of me giving or not giving Bill credit," Owens said, according to The Dallas Morning News. "Everybody wants to make a big deal, that this is the team he built. It doesn't matter. ... My thing is give credit to Wade [Phillips]. The difference between Wade and Parcells is this: Parcells, he didn't use me as a playmaker; Wade, he got the staff, and that's what I'm being used as. "Plain and simple, without trying to be negative or anything. I'm being used as a playmaker, and as I said, the proof is in the pudding." And then back to delivering a verbal barrage at Johnson: "Those guys are probably talking about me, chopping it up, drinking coffee," Owens said. "They can have their little pity party and talk about me all day long. It doesn't bother me. There's a lot of people on the ESPN panel and across the country that has observed what has happened this year versus last year. And there's a lot of people that just don't want to give credit for what Wade has done and what wasn't done last year. That's it. I'm not trying to be negative." :gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice Hog Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 That's such a load of crap! T.O. is full of it! Everyone knows that Cowboys are so good this year for one reason, and for one reason only: Nick Folk!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan4life Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 TO is just amazing... for all the talent in the world he has. He is pure TRASH! For him to compare his stats spoke volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EersSkins05 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 TO is just amazing... for all the talent in the world he has. He is pure TRASH! For him to compare his stats spoke volumes. I'm no TO fan, but Keyshawn criticizing him, when TO has had a MUCH better career is pretty bad. And I think most of the 'Boys are getting tired of hearing about Bill Parcells.

Passizle Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Of course they are. Parcells built that team and Phillips is driving the bus... See Dungy to Gruden in Tampa... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rskins91 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Owens doesn't have much ground to stand on, considering what Keyshawn said is true. Parcells built the team. It's just Wade that got everything going. I think people would find it hard to argue that Tony Dungy built the 02 Buccaneers, and Gruden cashed in. After all, what has Gruden done for TB lately that mirrors that year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec138 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Of course they are. Parcells built that team and Phillips is driving the bus...See Dungy to Gruden in Tampa... Yeah, but Parcells obviously couldn't drive that bus. TO is right and the reason he went off on Keyshawn IMO is because Keyshawn is ALWAYS criticizing TO.

Mooka Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Am I missing something? Dallas Cowboys Terrell Owens sharply criticized the team's former receiver and current ESPN analyst Keyshawn Johnson for saying that retired coach Bill Parcells deserves credit for the team being 12-1. Thats it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TO is right and the reason he went off on Keyshawn IMO is because Keyshawn is ALWAYS criticizing TO. Or maybe it has everything to do with Romo sits to pee being in his second year and realizing his potential? It's not unheard of for teams that were close getting over the hump when their star QB improves. The cowboys were a playoff team last year and lost only because Tony suffered a illtimed case of the butter fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UVASKINSFAN Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Both Keyshawn and TO are right. Keyshawn is right b/c Big Bill build the team that is 12-1. TO is right b/c just like Gruden did after Dungy , Phillips is taking the pieces Parcells brought in and is using them the way they should of been.

The cowboys were a playoff team last year and lost only because Tony suffered a illtimed case of the butter fingers. Fair enough. But TO was not being implemented like he should have been last year. He's a playmaker, you have to get him the ball. Probably had something to do with Bledsoe too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
