John Czarnecki over at FOX Sports manages a trick that very few others in the mainstream media have been able to do, keep a level-head about Terrell Owens. I've tried to do my part by not encouraging the masses in a mass-hysteria freak-out over Owens' hammy, I'm glad to see another sane voice. Sure, there will come a day when Owens' does what he does - and I'm not talking about catching TD's - but that day is still in the future. All the teeth-gnashing and knee-jerk reactions over the fact that Owens was injured early in the preseason, and the Cowboys being overly-cautious about his return, were a manufactured attempt at a pseudo-controversy. (I think I just set a record for hyphenated words in a paragraph.)
Today, I was little curious about Parcells decision to not play Owens on Monday night, but it turns out they are just using more caution. Here's Owens on his hammy:
"I'm still day-to-day," he said. "The hamstring is OK, but I'm still a little sore. My legs still need to get a little stronger. I'm still not in football shape." There is no reason to rush Owens into the preseason lineup because the Cowboys have a long season ahead and they really need him when the real games begin. He said that he and Bledsoe are getting a little more comfortable with each other, but they still aren't in total sync yet.
People please just chill.
