don;t buy into this bullshit espn conjecture story. i could go on about whats true and not, but it's worthless.
make it stop
this is truely a sad sad story. First espn tried to overhype t.o's non-existant meltdown. When that failed they swiched momentum to t.o.'s comments about witten getting more catches, trying to make t.o. look like paranoid selfish bastard.
Once again: "annonymous sources" are saying t.o. thinks witten and romo are making up plays, NOT t.o.
T.O is a total cancer, I have no idea how anyone can defend him. T.O clearly has emotional issues......serious ones.
Exactly. Another attention whore, who hates it when people aren't talking about him. How's he gonna handle retirement?
Whos thats asshole who played for the 72 phins? That's TO in 10 years.
You mean Mercury Morris. Mercury was always the one down talking the patriots and how they would have destroyed the pats if they would have played his 72' Dolphins.
The Pats went 18-0 and lost the Superbowl and the 72' Dolphins went 12-0 and won the superbowl but how many playoff games did they win? Were they a total of 15-0 and plus? Mercury still talks like 18-0 is not that hard to achieve.
Thats the guy....I dont hate him because he talked down to the pats ( even thought they would have dropped 52 points on the 72 phins), he's just a loudmouth who reminds me of an old T.O.
2NDCOMING, you're right, we shouldn't buy into this story. After all it's not Owens has ever caused this type of drama before..... ::)
T.O is a total cancer, I have no idea how anyone can defend him. T.O clearly has emotional issues......serious ones.He's the Gary Sheffield of pro football.
The Pats went 18-0 and lost the Superbowl and the 72' Dolphins went 12-0 and won the superbowl but how many playoff games did they win? Were they a total of 15-0 and plus? Mercury still talks like 18-0 is not that hard to achieve.
They also did it against a schedule that was easier than what the pats had, and most of the games were in good weather (Miami home games). Pats did it in Foxboro, they won in poor weather....in an NFL with a salary cap, where team are much closer in talent. The 72 phins would be destroyed by the 07 pats. I doubt you see 16-0 in the regular season anytime soon. The players were smaller and slower in the 70's; the pats would have won by 5 scores,imo. Yes, the 07 pats lost the big one, but to win 18 straight games the way they did, is any amazing feat.
That's the view of someone with absolutely no objectivity. First of all the Dolphins were a better version of the Giants team that beat NE, so obviously it would be close to begin with. Secondly the rules then were a little different, not as easy to throw the ball through most of the 70s.
No way to know what would have happened, other than to guess it would have been close, could go either way like last year's SB.
NE last year reminded me of the 49ers when they tried for their 3rd straight SB; they became a little too one-dimensional, too much reliance on passing.
You have your opinion and I have mine. Imo, the 07 pats would drop about 50 points on the 72 phins. The 72 phins schedule was vey easy, and they didn't play in a salery cap era. Much harder to do what the pats did now.
Since they didn't drop anywhere near 50 on the Giants, who were not as good as the Dolphins but played in many ways a similar game, your odds are extrmely low on being correct.
Again, your opionion not fact. As you said, it was a different era and impossible to compare if a team from the 70's is better. The pats WON the first meeting with the Giants, they lost the second by a freak play. Not like it wasen't very close.
You have no objectivity. You're making assumptions from guesses.
All the astute fan can say is that it would a great game and probably close. If they didn't "drop 52" on the giants it's very unlikely they would on the dolphins.
Near-meltdown from our very partial homer. Resorting to stats is pathetic.
I'll bet you never even saw the Dolphins play, yet you're silly enough to claim they'd drop 52 on em when they struggled big-time to score points against the giants LOL insane.
blah blah blah. Offensive juggernaut that F--- up in the SB!
Your posts are too long and boring. Stick to the point, you have NO friggin idea in reality that they could put up 52 on the dolphins when they FU in the SB!
why is it so crazy to think the best offensive team in the history of the sport could score an added td and two fg's vs the phins? Take into account the progression of the sport. Guys are far better athletes now. You scoff at those who claim Arnie could beat Ronnie. Why is that? Is it because the sport has progressed so much that Coleman had over 60 lbs of lean mass on Arnie in better shape.
Terrell Owens and Jason Witten got in a verbal argument after Witten tried to engage Owens during practice. Owens told him to get away and called him a name." Called him a name? Seriously? After teammates separated the two, Owens also announced that Witten was no longer invited to his birthday party, and then removed him from his list of friends on Facebook.
Ima leave yall with something I found then im out. see yall on game day.
I thought some of you might be interested to hear the truth regarding the alleged "T.O. controversy."
Those who I talked to close to the situation are in absolute shock right now over the direction ESPN has taken the past few days. What you are seeing now is a carefully conceived ploy being executed to boost ratings for the 2009 fiscal year, which is vital as the network hopes to build new advertising revenue.
While it would be easy to blame the reporters for this yellow journalism, they're only the tip of the iceberg. The reality is that ESPN executes have melted down and gone into panic mode regarding the current state of their network.
For those of you worried about the state of the Dallas Cowboys football team, perhaps you should take whatever you're envisioning now (which isn't at all accurate), quintouple it, and that's what ESPN meetings are like right now.
The ploy, as I was told, was designed to create a self-fulfilling prophecy in Dallas as a result of paranoia amongst players (chiefly Terrell Owens, Tony Romo, and Jason Witten). Those who hatched the plan believed that the faux-quotes would be enough to cast a sense of doubt over members of the Cowboys locker room, resulting in tension and, eventually, an actual blowup that would justify ESPN's outrageous coverage based on unnamed sources.
But it didn't work. Much to the chagrin of the powers that be at ESPN, the Cowboys players put their heads together and quickly figured out exactly what was going on. Ed Werder himself was actually present at the team meeting and was the one who reported to the higher ups that there was something impeding the plan.
The constant changes to the very article Werder reported are ESPN's attempts to adjust to Dallas having caught on.
My sources have each responded to the numerous things that have been stated by ESPN and other members through ESPN sourcing pertaining to the matter:
It was reported that Owens, Romo, and Witten have a strained relationship. While the details of their relationship are not factually known, there has been no team source to report any such strain. What in fact transpired was the following: A behind-the-scenes writer noted via text message that he noticed numerous plays in which Owens failed to block for Witten after he caught the ball against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The person on the other end of the conversation pitched the Owens/Witten angle to a story editor later that afternoon and it found its way to the higherups. The rest is history.
It was reported that Owens and Witten had a war of words today and got into a scuffle. This is untrue. This report is complete fiction in a desperation attempt to cause further distractions to the Cowboys. As you can imagine, the Cowboys, already having a firm grasp of what took place before, understood fully the intentions of this report.
It was reported that Owens, Patrick Crayton, and Roy Williams asked for a meeting with offensive coordiator Jason Garret. This is, in fact, true. However, what may be of interest to some of you is that the three receivers have spoken privately with Garrett several times this season.
Many people are wondering how Bradie James had his quote included with all of the quotes from unnamed sources. James was asked to explain how important communication is for a team leader. While answering the question, a reporter (not Ed Werder) asked if Tony Romo and Terrell Owens do a lot of communicating, to which James responded with his quote.
James never stated that he "played peacemaker" between Romo and Owens, but rather than he stayed out of their way and let them has things out when they disagreed on something (the context of these comments pertained to on the field disagreements).
So I hope that helps clear some things up for everyone. I know it's been a crazy week for Cowboys fans, but the reality is that this crazyness is smoke and mirrors; and it's sure to blow up in ESPN's face.
hahahahahahahahaahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha
the best team not to make the playoffs ever..These fags didnt make the fuckin playoffs...they suck
Because they didn't get it done in terms of scoring when it counted.
As far as "progression" the guys are a little bigger and faster but in fact the better TEAMS overall in football, basketball and hockey were in the 70s and 80s, in large part but not entirely because there was minimal dilution of talent that exist now. The two best all-time NFL teams were the Steelers and 49ers, not recent teams. The pros and cons of new vs old teams isn't as clear-cut to you, without the perspective of earlier eras.
The Giants got lucky with that once in a lifetime catch by David Tyree and the missed INT by Asante Samuel. The Giants weren't the better team last year, maybe one game but not last season as a whole. What the Patriots did last year was AMAZING
Face the facts...The Patriots were the best team in the league last year even without winning the SuperBowl. The Giants got lucky with that once in a lifetime catch by David Tyree and the missed INT by Asante Samuel. The Giants weren't the better team last year, maybe one game but not last season as a whole. What the Patriots did last year was AMAZING. I think maybe if they had lost one or two games in the regular season, a differen't team might have shown up in the Super Bowl. But who knows.you can look back at any game and take a play or series of plays and say they got lucky here but thats part of football and thats why they play the games b/c shit like this happens how many drops did dallas have last night? how many bad passes did dallas have last night? that doesnt mean that the ravens where lucky they outplayed dallas no matter what was going on in the locker room or who was hurt dallas got outplayed.
Also I'd put the mid 90's Cowboys and the last couple of Patriot teams against ANY team of ANY era.
lets be honest if the cowboys offense had been halfway decent last night they would have won but like i said thats why you play the games.
hahaha this must be "body"s gimmick now the giants were "lucky' you are befuddled.
Jerry pondering the return of Coach Cupcake for the opening game in the new 1.1 billion, 100,000 capacity stadium next year..Losing to the Eagles. Geez. What a way to end the season. They need to revamp this General Hospital team and move on with a winning formula.
