Jones trying to avert a T.O. - Tuna meltdown?
Snip:

There's an odd item in Sunday's Fort Worth Star-Telegram regarding the potential volcano that currently is rumbling beneath the Cowboys' training camp in Oxnard.
Per Mac Engel, Cowboys owner/G.M. Jerry Jones says that he has sent a message to receiver Terrell Owens that the star receiver needs to get used to practicing at "75 percent."
It's not clear whether Owens actually got the message, since Jones communicated it to "some of Owens' trainers," an apparent reference to T.O.'s personal rehab crew that has been brought to camp to help him recover from a hamstring problem so severe that an MRI showed, well, no damage at all.


Snip:

Thus, with the first real game only four weeks away, we stand by our belief that there's a distinct chance that, come September 10, either Owens or Parcells will not be with the team.

1. What a shock.
I loved having T.O. on the Eagles on game day because of his incredible talent but he is obviously a mental case. This dude just seems to be hell bent on destroying his career and anyone around him for no apparent reason. Parcells didn't want him to begin with and now he's stuck with this cancer on the team. T.O. is going to be the reason why Dallas has a shit year despite their potential. I'll shed no tears because I despise Dallas on a level reserved only for people like Dick Cheney but they really should have seen this coming and avoided it like the plague. He had a second chance in Philly and he blew it, giving him a third chance is an exercise in stupidity. Have fun Cowgirls.

2. Amen, brother.
I, too, am a member of the Cowboy Hatred Church (hell, I grew up in the 70s as a Viking fan) and they got just what they deserve. Everyone thinks that THEY will be the ones to rein in TO, but he is fucking insane and a cancer to whomever gets him.

Choke on it 'Boys.

3. Who cares?
Pretty much all of the "controversy" surrounding TO has been fabricated by the media. I don't get the obsession and hatred over this guy.
