As Chris Collinsworth said last night, 1/3 of Dallas' offense revolved around T.O. and yet he is still upset! Last week during the Cowboys-Packers game, around the beginning, Romo threw a pass to T.O. that he missed and the camera caught them both glancing at each other. Owens' glance was quite pissy and Romo was looking at him like "I'm the quarterback, keep jawing at me and you are going to get more passes like that."
Everywhere that Owens has played in the NFL, he has thrown his quarterback to the wolves, derided his teams and his coaches all while sincerely believing that in order to win a championship, teams need him.
Yet teams do fine with him or without him. He becomes so cancerous, he requires aggressive removal wherever he goes. Why can't this guy stay happy? What is it about his ego that cannot let him work with others as a team player for extended periods? he good news in all of this is that Dallas has the Owens factor which in most cases works against a team and if Dallas doesn't get to the Superbowl this year, the team will implode with Owens standing by himself waving at his teammates as the bus he's driving runs right over them. This is good because it helps my Eagles so I don't feel bad about this at all.
How long can the Eagles rely on corners and safties that can't cover high school receivers? Really, having Kyle Orton throw three touchdowns on your team is enough to warrant a week of brutal passes. Orton isn't someone who should be leading a CFL team let alone the Chicago Bears.
That being said, Donovan didn't play well, shoulder must be hurt. I'm not making excuses but he didn't look right. The Bears D did look solid however. Monsters. The best part of watching my team lost was watching the defense it lost to. John Madden was rambling away last night on how the Eagles D shows different looks, showing blitz then dropping into coverage. Madden didn't mention how the bears perfected this last night. The Bears' linebackers would line up, threaten blitz, stay in their position then quickly drop back into coverage.
That's part of the poetry of football. The looks. The movements. Being a statue, staying still until the ball snaps and then executing the play.
Last thought on the Eagles game. Westbrook is out, so you decide to use your backup runningback 3 times to get a touchdown at the goal line? Has Andy Reid been taking some of his son's heroin? Not one play for Mcnabb to throw or option-run 2yards for the endzone? Awful.
Say what I will about Brett Favre, he can still throw the ball. No one has a cannon arm like he does. 6 touchdowns?!? Don't worry, at some point the Madden curse will strike...
In hockey news, Pogge needs much more time at least in order to get some patience and learn how to play at the NHL level. At least Toskala can bridge that timeframe. Ron Wilson got upset at the media for asking about the pre-season losses. I agree with him saying that he doesn't care about pre-season results and his using the exhibition games to test younger players. He did however take a head coaching job with the Leafs. Shouldn't he expect the same questions and over zealous media to hound him during practice let alone exhibition games and regular season. I bet he hits a reporter by December.
Mets collapse again, cheering for the cubbies.
