Flip_Side Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 IRVING, Texas -- Terrell Owens has finally pushed the Dallas Cowboys too far, drawing a $9,500 fine for missing a team meeting and a rehabilitation session and being late to an offensive meeting, The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday. Terrell Owens AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez T.O. has spent more time on the sidelines than in uniform during the preseason. "That's our club business. That's going to be accounted for," team owner Jerry Jones told the newspaper. The incidents occurred Friday, the team's final day preparing for a preseason game against San Francisco. The Cowboys beat the 49ers 17-7, making them 3-0 this preseason without Owens playing any of the games because of a hamstring injury that's also kept him out of 19 of 31 practices since the start of training camp. Neither team officials nor Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, immediately returned calls to The Associated Press seeking comment Sunday. During a postgame television interview, Jones did not mention the fine but answered several other questions about Owens. Jones said his only concern with the receiver is "injury, not all this other stuff you hear about." Owens' past is filled with run-ins with quarterbacks, coaches and others in his own organization. San Francisco and Philadelphia got rid of him, but the Cowboys welcomed him with open arms and a lucrative contract in March, four days after the Eagles released him. Owens vowed to be a better man and a better teammate in Dallas. While the fine is the most drastic, he already has done plenty to stand out. He missed much of the offseason training program -- with permission -- and turned his hamstring injury into an attention-getter by flying in specialists to help him rehabilitate and wearing a cycling team outfit one day while pedaling a stationary bicycle. After returning to practice for several days, coach Bill Parcells ruled him out of a Monday night game and Owens hasn't practiced since. He said he aggravated the injury because the club pushed him too hard. When Parcells said this week that he needs to see Owens on the field, T.O. responded that there's 10 years of tape to show what he can do. Jones seemed to downplay the drama surrounding Owens' injury by noting that Carolina's Steve Smith and Pittsburgh's Hines Ward also have been slowed by hamstring injuries without drawing the same scrutiny as Owens. He also recalled Deion Sanders' ability to play well after flying in from baseball games and missing long stretches of practice. "I know this -- when he's healthy, he's going to help us win these ballgames," Jones said. The Cowboys play their final preseason game Thursday night at home against Minnesota. The opener is Sept. 10 at Jacksonville. What an A$$clown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Booth Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 SURPRISE! Jerry Jones just needs to cut this turd now and save the team further distractions. They don't need him. I hate the Cowbpolks, but I would not wish TO on anyone in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Owens fined for missing team meetings02:17 AM CDT on Sunday, August 27, 2006 By JEAN-JACQUES TAYLOR / The Dallas Morning News IRVING – Cracks are starting to become more evident in the relationship between Terrell Owens and the Cowboys. Now, the Cowboys have to ensure those cracks don't create a fissure that can't be repaired. Terrell Owens, who has missed 19 of 31 practices since the start of training camp with a strained left hamstring, missed a team meeting and a rehabilitation session and was late to an offensive meeting Friday. Owens was fined $9,500. Several sources said Owens has been fined for being late to multiple rehabilitation sessions. Owens could not be reached for comment. The Dallas Morning News Typical TO. I am to the point where I when I read about TO doing this kind of stuff. The grass is green, the sky is blue & TO is acting up again.

Jimmy Neutron Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I think the NFL as a whole should make a supreme example of TO. The Cowboys should cut him and every other team should turn their noses up at him. He is a very gifted football player, but that doesn't entitle him to crap he pulls so regularly. I've fired plenty of high performing employees that thought the rules didn't apply to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I think the NFL as a whole should make a supreme example of TO. The Cowboys should cut him and every other team should turn their noses up at him. Unfortunately that's exactly what was said when Philadelphia decided not to play him any more. And as soon as he was released, the Cowboys swooped in to take a chance on his bad attitude. Owens will always find some sucker to pay him regardless of his ability to infect a team with negativity. It's too bad really... but I do find some entertainment value in all of it, I have to admit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gijunky Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 complete tool. It will be interesting to see who the next team will be that drinks the T.O. cool-aid and ruins their season. the dude is an a$$hat. I hope he blows the cowboys up just like he did the 49ers and Iggles. Somebody has got to put this guy in his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Ummm - from carbon dioxide, not water? Dammmm, I would have bet on dry water..... TO is and always will be as a$$. If Parcells has any balls he will put him on the PUP list and keep him out of the first 2 games. And while he is sitting make it very clear that he will never play another down this year if he doesn't (wait a minute, there got that out of my system) shutup and play.
