Peter King on T.O. to Dallas
WHY ARE THE COWBOYS INTERESTED IN TERRELL OWENS? From Tim Novak of Pittsburgh: "Say it isn't so! I have been reading that the Cowboys have shown definite interest in Terrell Owens. How can that be? After shipping Antonio Bryant to Cleveland due to attitude problems, why would they entertain the idea of adding T.O.?''
Bill Parcells has always been fond of saying that he doesn't treat everyone on his teams the same, he just treats all of them fairly. In other words, the rules for Lawrence Taylor were different than the rules for Phil Simms. Parcells wants Owens because T.O. is a Taylor-type talent who could well have the best year of any offensive player in football in 2006. Maybe not beyond '06, but he'll be on his best behavior this year. My money is on this being Parcells' last year coaching, so why wouldn't he want one of the greatest players in football to try to help him win -- particularly when he knows he can keep him under control?
