T.O. Back to Doing What He Does Best: Talking

By Chris Mottram
Let me insult your intelligence by telling you something you already knew: It doesn’t take much to set T.O. off.

On ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown this week, Keyshawn Johnson basically said that Parcells deserves the credit for Dallas being 12-1 this season. Harmless enough, and there is definitely some truth to the statement. He did have a huge hand in assembling the current Cowboys team, and was the one who gave Tony Romo the opportunity to thrive. Which, in turn, allowed Romo to date Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson. So he should get some credit for that too. But that’s neither here nor there.
Naturally, T.O. took offense to Keyshawn’s comments. There are too many great quotes to include them all here, but here’s a sample.
[quote="Dallas Morning News"]“I’m probably the main reason he’s in the booth right now. ... My thing is, we came out the same year. He was a first-rounder, I was a third rounder. I’m still playing, he’s not. You compare our stats up until the time he retired, it’s a no-brainer. I’d challenge him to come out and try to make this team. He’d be a third or fourth receiver at this point. He can hate all he wants to. Compare the stats, they don’t lie.”[/quote]
It’s pretty amazing that Owens is so self-centered/conscious that he’d think a comment about his former coach is an attack on him.
What’s even more amazing is that T.O. manages to make Keyshawn Johnson seem reasonable.
