33 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AvqyxKYGE2hoyjdERahxhyY5nYcB?slug=ap-cowboys-jerryjones&prov=ap&type=lgns Jones: No decision yet on TO … or maybe there is By JAIME ARON, AP Sports Writer ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)—Cowboys owner Jerry Jones went on and on Tuesday emphasizing he hasn’t decided whether to keep or cut Terrell Owens. Then, long after the subject was seemingly put to rest, Jones brought it up again—with a pretty obvious hint that T.O. is staying. “You and I both know that the one that you’re asking about all the time, if I gave you the answer that you want to hear, then you would’ve already had it. So the fact you don’t have it ought to tell you something. It really should,” Jones said. The response came in the final minute of a roughly 45-minute news conference called to announce that George Strait will headline the first-ever event at the team’s new $1.1 billion stadium. But since this was the first time Jones addressed a large group of reporters since the Cowboys’ season-ending loss at Philadelphia back in late December, far more topics came up. ADVERTISEMENT The subject changed from music to football with a question about whether Owens will be on the roster when Strait takes the stage June 6. Jones was ready with the explanation that “we’re evaluating our entire roster.” “There are several decisions on our roster we have to look at,” Jones said. “This is the time of year we do that. I’m not trying to be trite, but as you all know we’re evaluating players in college, we’re evaluating free agents and we’re evaluating our own roster. This is an ongoing thing, not any different than this time last year. … Our roster is our roster. Changes to that are pure, pure speculation.” When told he could end all speculation by saying Owens is staying, Jones said he wouldn’t answer “because we’re not talking about the roster; he’s part of the roster.” “We’ve got a lot of things we want to look at. Not just to Terrell, but several positions on the team—backup quarterback and some other areas,” Jones said. “So, again, it’s not that it’s easy or hard. It’s just that I’m not doing it.” Jones said stories of locker-room drama were stirred up by media and insisted he’s not concerned about such personality clashes. “Not at all. Not at all. Not at all. Period. I’m just not,” he said. “They are a figment of the result. You didn’t hear about those things when we were winning. You hear about those kinds of things when we’re losing. So I’m just not. And if y’all knew more about some of the things that you write about, you wouldn’t be as concerned.” The news conference covered a lot of other ground over the next 15 minutes and was winding down when Jones started talking about how angry people are about the economy. He then accused reporters of being angry that the Cowboys missed the playoffs after being projected to reach the Super Bowl. Next came an explanation of why he hasn’t been talking as much lately, despite all sorts of stories swirling around the organization. click link for full article[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tr1 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Jerruh has his head stuck firmly in the sand. Imagine, that locker room chatter is simply unimportant. How dare anyone think there's anything to it. :rotflmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbrook36 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Jerry Jones is prone to childish rants when he is not being celebrated by the media. Everytime there is any criticism, he always says that no one talked about X when we were winning..... It's funny, I don't remember any meaningful winning in a long long time in Dallas. Now, we go to today's press conference. Like a petulant little baby, he snarled about how the answer on TO is pretty obvious; yet he refused to squelch all doubt by giving the media the obvious answer. He is a moron.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Jones said stories of locker-room drama were stirred up by media and insisted he’s not concerned about such personality clashes.“Not at all.

You hear about those kinds of things when we’re losing." No ****, Jerruh...when a team is losing, that's precisely when teams with little character and no leadership start having drama and "personality clashes" in the locker room lol :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
