I love how people are personally offended by something that one person does to another person, as if it has anything to do with them. I stopped reading T.O articles a long time ago because I don't like what he says or does. It's not that hard. If you ignore the troll, it will go away or it won't matter anyways because you're ignoring it.
I stopped reading T.O articles a long time ago because I don't like what he says or does That may be what you do, dfleming, but apparently whatever the guy does is news worthy. I personally don't give two shits about the guy, even though he does plays for my favorite team, but let me put it like this: If there's a car accident, regardless whether you like it or not, people will drive slow to see what happened, and if it's a real bad accident, traffic will be backed up for miles with people actually stopping to get a better look at what's going on. Am I wrong?
Nicely said, frazey. I would also add: This is not a big deal by any stretch of the imagination: Be it T.O. or Tom Brady (though, in the latter case it would be a lot more interesting). I mean, aren't we all a little tired about hearing about what this guy says, does, eats, not eats, drives, how many crunches he can do in his driveway....? Our friends at the WWL need to find a new horse to beat to death.
Isn't spitting one of the ten signs of steroid abuse?
Terrell Owens has 35,000 reasons to never spit at an opponent again. T.O. was fined $35,000 by the NFL on Monday for spitting in the face of Atlanta cornerback DeAngelo Hall during Saturday night's Cowboys-Falcons game. Although it's more than twice as much as the last fine for spitting, Dallas' flamboyant receiver avoided a suspension. Owens wasn't ejected at the time because officials didn't see it. Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said Monday "we don't condone that kind of activity, that's for sure," and added the team may also punish Owens.
I personally don't see any reason for the team to "punish" Terrell Owens, even though a fine of $35,000 is more or less pocket change to him though it is doubled to what Sean Taylor of the Washington Redskins was fined in 2005 for spitting on someone as well. Also, from what Terrell said yesterday, D. Hall and Terrell were jawing face to face, taunting one another and spit flew out of Terrell's mouth. So it wasn't like Terrell just blantantly spat at D. Hall's face. Or at least that's the way Terrell put it which doesn't count for much since he's never at fault. According to Terrell that is.
