I keep telling Robin that it’s too bad he can’t sucker the Vikings into trading for Herschel Walker again. Now he actually has to gasp work for it!
Suckers. The 'Girls are done for the next 5 years, if not the next decade after Owens is done ripping them apart.
Now the 'Boys got a kicker! Looks like we’re taking on a lot of mouthy punks in the locker room, but at least they can play well on the field.

Ahh, damnit…I liked you too, Vanderjagt. Now I have to root for all your figgie tries to go the way of your last one.
As a Bills season ticket holder who once lived in Philadelphia, I hate both the Iggles and the Girls.
I wouldn’t wish Owens on anybody. Jones is a jerk for giving him a job.
As another Bills fan, I’m glad we had the luxury of knowing he wasn’t coming to our team anyway. It’s a real question, and ‘he’s a jerk’ doesn’t wave it away for me. But a team that doesn’t think it’s ‘one step away’ would be ill-advised to take him anyway.
Did anyone else see the NFL Films broadcast on ESPN a couple of weeks ago on wide receivers? It was very interesting. Most coaches (and a “sports psychologist”) felt that the psyche of a good wide receiver was usually that of an egomaniac. TO, of course, fits this to a T.
My favorite part was TO parading around the sidelines yelling, “I love ME!! I love me some ME!!” At which point a teammate replied, “You’re one crazy motherf…”
My on-again, off-again love affair with the Cowboys is officially back off. Too bad my Vikings will continue to suck forever.
There’s a good chance this is Parcell’s last year before retiring. T.O.'s contract is for three. What coach is going to want to come in and replace Bill knowing he’ll have T.O. to deal with? Parcell’s is one of the few if not the only one that probably stands any chance of handling him effectively. This is of particular concern of course since Jones has in the past made disasterous choice like shudder Barry “bang your assistant coach’s wife” Switzer.
I fear that if there’s any benefit to the T.O. deal that it will be for this year only and, like Marley23 said, the Boys are still likely more than a year away from the big dance.
Vanderjagt I like. I can’t believe the Colts let him slip. He’s money.
First off, I have to admit that my favourite NFL team is whoever’s playing the Cowboys (since Toronto, will never, ever get an NFL team while Buffalo gets a veto no matter what the optimists here think, since it would eliminate 30-50% of the Bills’ gate).
That said, I think that Terrell Owens is a big mistake for Dallas. I don’t think that Parcells’ style will work well for Owens, although it might at least keep him leashed off the field.
Vanderjagt’s a competent kicker with one awesome season in his career. I think he was good player to sign, but hardly headline-worthy news.
