If the league doesn't suspend him (which they won't), Bill Parcells or Jerry Jones should take it upon themselves to do it (which they won't either). To spit in the face of another man is totally disrespecting and I know that if I was a DB on the next team that played the Cowboys, Terrell Owens would get layed the **** out. I'd take a 15-yd penalty for having D'Angelo Hall's back. It's a brotherhood out there, a sort of fraternity. U should have respect for every other player that's out there between the lines. I understand there is trash talking that goes on and it can get under your skin. But anyone that's played sports knows that goes on from the time u start playing until u finish. U accept it as a part of the game. U get irritated, u show him up once u score on him, which Owens did twice. But u never spit on a man. Ever.

I was gonna agree with ya,King....but then I remembered the Miami-FI game! TO has no respect for the game..so the NFL should hammer him!

disgusting act.
i remember a few years back, there was an incredibly talented, but mentally offbalance, football player. everyone knew he had the goods, and that he needed tons of therapy--if not more help than that. he tried to commit suicide, really didn't want to play the game anymore. attempted suicide. think his name was underwood.
owens reminds me of that guy. i know many, including myself, have blown this guy off as being a megalomaniac or primadonna. maybe it's more than that, but his team(s) cares only about how many passes he can catch. exploitation, when they're done with him as a player, they won't ever think about him again.

Zeiggy: we all know what a compassionate conservative I am: but this guy has gone way beyond needing help on a couch...he is pulling the strings...and everyones' dancing cuz he can bring the Ring! I thinks he's made 50-80 mill while thoroughly enjoying his ministrations in the public eye. The onus isn't on the Cowboys or the NFL, it's on TO. It's great to be a victim.

Very good athletes can be bipolar.
All the signs again. ONe minute he is signing a shirt for a competitors son. The next thing you know he is spitting in this same competitors face.

He is up, he is down, and he has a stage.
He does make it easier to dislike the Cowboys so that is the upside... the only upside I can figure.

Its called self medicating. I could go into some of the most bizarre stuff he did at UT. One minute, he his doing all this research on Doak Walker giving this absolutely amazing speech showing great intellect, written totally by him. No one else involved. Shut himself in his room for a week, rewrote it, and it was amazing. A month later he has all his clothes all over the ground in his apartment with left over Chinese food a week old mixed in and his sister has to come over and clean up for him and drive him around...

Not quite a simple as he is a loser doper. He is ultimately responsible for not taking his medication, because he likes his highs, but the lows... you would be suprised how many people are like this. I guarantee you have coworkers who have some of these traits... well I should not guarantee... you get the picture.
