Getcha moving vans ready!! Terrell Owens, one of the NFL's premiere receivers was released yesterday by the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys will take a $9 million salary cap hit, but that mattered not to the team because they wanted him gone. Owens is coming off of a season where he caught 69 passes for over 1,000 yds and 10 touchdowns. Impressive numbers, but not his best season by far.
While he was putting up those numbers, Owens was also criticizing his offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, QB Tony Romo and Cowboys tight end Jason Witten for conspiring to exclude him from the offensive scheme.
That criticism helped to lower locker room morale, and keep the Cowboys out of the playoffs with a 9-7 record.
Owens wasn't the lone culprit responsible Cowboys' collapse. Tony Romo was lackluster at the end of the season as well.
T.O. will now be seeking employment with his fourth team. He burned the Golden Gate bridge in San Fran, he burned the Ben Franklin bridge in Philly. Dallas doesn't even have bridges and he somehow messed up there too.
It's a shame that at age 35, and with so much talent, T.O. can't just keep his mouth shut and catch the ball.

T.O. is not the problem. Michael Irvin was just as "divisive". Stephen A.Smith said there are a faction of Cowboys and Eagles that stood by T.O. Romo doesn't get it done in big games. Jason Garrett is an amateur calling plays, and Roy Williams is a never was and never will be. The fact that the Boys haven't won a postseason game since 1996 isn't and wasn't T.O.'s fault. Another brother brought down by the media. No one works harder or is in better condition. Why is it that Brett Favre, Peyton Manning (blaming the O Line when they lost to the Steelers few years back), or Donovan McNabb can continue to use the media and not get blamed for it?
