Other Than TO, This Is A Likable Team
By Cowboys ÜberFan
The Cowboy Roundup
With the majority of the media focusing on “The Player”, it’s easy to overlook how likable this team is. Our stars are all pretty humble, and our young stars seem to have their priorities straight.
Our young nucleus is made up of Jason Witten, Marion Barber, Julius Jones, Tony Romo, Patrick Crayton, Andre Gurode, Leonard Davis, Marco Colombo, Marcus Spears, Chris Canty, Jason Hatcher, DeMarcus Ware, Bobby Carpenter, Bradie James, Anthony Spencer, Terence Newman and Roy Williams. Not a bad apple in there, and most of those guys would rather play than talk. If anything, we could use a yapper just to keep it exciting.
That’s what makes TO such a contrast. In some strange way, I don’t want TO to raise the Lombardi Trophy in triumph, regardless of the team. He’s such a shining example of what we as a society will tolerate in exchange for physical prowess.
I can see why some fans are completely turned off by big money sports and would prefer to watch high school or college football. I’m not one of them, watching the best of the best outweighs any conflicting feelings I have about the personalities involved.
That’s what makes this team a bit difficult. On one hand you have stars like DeMarcus Ware and Terence Newman, who work hard, stay out of trouble, and from all the anecdotes I hear, are generally nice guys. On the other hand you might have the most self-promoting, selfish player in all of sports. So the sooner we can replace TO’s production the happier I’ll be.
