PB Commentary: Dallas Cowboys officially end Terrell Owns' tenure in Dallas - ESPN

Not a Cowboys fan at all. Die-hard Redskins fan. "Hail to the Redskins. Hail Victory!" Win or lose. But, today, Dallas made me proud when they let TO go. I am less of a TO fan than I am a Cowboy fan. Why, you ask? Because he never allowed his game to speak for him...and, game he definitely has. He is a future Hall of Famer based on his on-the-field performances. But, off-the-field? He is what aspiring athletes should not become, caught up in his own hype. He tries to be the Jordan of football, but what he fails to realize is that MJ was a team player and allowed all teammates to have their time to perform. TO cried everytime he didn't get the ball. And, showed his emotions way too much. This is another page out of The Playbook: Mentoring Initiative (character and sportsmanship). He lacked it. And, although he has game Jerry Jones did not want the headache. Now the question is who WILL take the good (skills) and the bad (ego) combo which is Terrell Owens? Only time will tell. I hope he is doing some self-reflection. Because he is the common demoninator in all his less than happy team depatures.
