It's a shame. I think its the start of the demise of the cowboys. Owens is known for his destroying an organization. Nothing will change for the better in Dallas. The demise starts after the departure of Parcells. Jerry Jones has made the biggest mistake letting Owens play another year. The Cowboys seemed to start to turn things around under Parcells. When that other player arrived, bad things started to happen. It will get worse.
Jerry Jones, for bringing that other player into the organization, you deserve nothing as far as benefits. He will destroy that organization.

The funny thing about Parcell's departure is that he's been able to keep Owens in check better than anyone since well before Owens left San Fran. Owens needs an authoritarian coach to get him to play football on the field, instead of performing his usual antics. Since the Boyz don't have the leadership of a veteran QB, they absolutely must get a no-nonsense dictator who is willing to lay down the law for TO, or they will end up looking like the Raiders in no time. That's the perfect example of the inmates running the asylum, and a stark warning of Dallas future with the wrong coach.

Excellent- I hope (and think) Mark is right.

Anything bad that happens to the Cowboys makes my day!!!!

Sorry fellow Skins fans, this is good news for the Cowboys. Parcells was dead wood and accomplished nothing in his 4 years at Dallas (except amassing some talent). A new coach can hit the ground running with a pretty good roster in place.

It's fashionable to blame TO for every ill in the NFL, or at least for "destroying organizations," but the argument doesn't hold up under scrutiny. It cannot be seriously argued that TO had anything to do with the decline of the 49rs; the ownership turmoil was the cause of that. And TO's been gone from SF for awhile; can we blame their current ineptitude on TO, as much as some would like to? The Eagles got terrific production out of TO and then had an admittedly acrimonious contract dispute (that's never happened before TO!); now, the Eagles are exactly where they were before TO -- a playoff team that can't get to the Super Bowl. It's convenient to blame TO for Parcells' departure from Dallas, but does that really make sense? TO was far down the list of issues this year for the Cowboys --a list that started with the quarterback situation and special teams. Also, does anyone seriously think that Parcells would let a player run him off? And if TO was so objectionable to him, why didn't Parcells resign before the start of the season (nothing that's happened this year compares to the Eagles saga)? Isn't it more likely that Parcells realized that the Cowboys were much farther away than he thought; that the strain of not having won a playoff game in his Cowboy tenure had caught up with him; and that newfound stability in his personal life had led him to reassess his priorities?

Nah. Must have been TO.

Wow. It's only been one year. While we certainly cannot blame all the worlds ills on T.O. there is no denying he immediately becomes the center of his teams universe for all the wrong reasons. Let's not forget too the number of dropped passes this season.

Yes, PLEASE don't forget the number of dropped passes for a so-called elite receiver. Everyone is allowed a couple, but he dropped big passes that would have changed the outcomes of games. I think karma was just playing its part and the Cowboys are going to have a long offseason.
