More on T.O. - The Truth About Philly Fans and The Cowboy Coach
As you may know by now, the Dallas Police Department has confirmed that the Terrell Owens incident was not a suicide attempt as originally reported. T.O. practiced and may even play on Sunday. This is all good news for Terrell Owens, but in between the first day and second day of this saga, Philly fans showed what they are all about. (See story below.)
I was really impressed by the sensitivity shown by fans on tv, the radio and in the streets. The man has been both praised and reviled in Philadelphia because of his antics in the 2005 season. But, in light of this scrape with danger, there was a high level of caring and understanding for what turned out to be a big mistake, or at least it still appears so.
Even the people who suggested that T.O. had “staged” the event were quick to point out that they sympathized with the situation, and hoped he would be okay.
Ironically, the man who showed the least sensitivity was the ego driven coach of the Cowboys, Bill Parcells, who showed no sympathy at all for the mishap. Parcells has been known to be self indulged, but for a coach of a pro football team team hw showed little leadership.. Leadership is all about embracing your team, even in times of trouble. He didn’t even want to be bothered with questions. Can you imagine Andy Reid not expressing concern about one of his players?
Of course, who knows where life will take T.O. next. He likes to catch passes and headlines.
In the meantime, the Cowboys-Eagles showdown is 9 days away.
Maybe we’ll be lucky enough to have a baseball playoff game the same afternoon.
Nobody on philly really care about Owens he is a disgrace to the sport
Hey Bob! Yours is a view that is shared by many. But people still want to know about him.
Thanks for checking in.

It is a shame that a young man with the talent and ability of Terrell Owens is so full of himself that he cannot see the blessings that can come about by doing what one loves to do.
It took a long time for me to reach that point in life, but I truly AM doing that which I love to do, doing it in a location that I love and I am paid very well for it!
I am indeed a blessed man, and Terrell Owens could be, too, if he would just get off of himself and see how he can be a real man.
It’s all how you see yourself - not how others see you.
Thanks Joe
