[editor's note, by Grizz] I have edited this diary down to a few essential quotes from Sip Bayless' full article, and also provided a link. BTB does not allow the full reproduction of copyrighted material from other places. We do encourage you to diary these kinds of articles, take a few important quotes from it, write some of your own spin on it, and provide a link back.

The more you guys diary articles, the better BTB will be. But we have to comply with copyright law, which says it's OK to take exceprts from an article without permission, but it's not OK to reproduce the full article.

I know other sites don't care about this and reproduce articles all the time, and that's OK for them. It's their choice, but BTB and SB Nation want to act within the rules, so we've made the decision not to do it.

Thanks guys, and please don't let this stop you from posting references and quotes from articles. In fact, this article is ripe for someone to tear it apart, because it's really a big piece of CRAP! Now, back to burningstarIV's diary.

whats up fellas.
king douche is at it again.
careless writing.
spin and speculation.

Jones will pick T.O. over Parcells
By Skip Bayless

If you know Jerry Jones, and I do, the only surprise would have been if he hadn't signed Terrell Owens.

And if you know Jones, it will be no surprise if he fires Bill Parcells, maybe even before the season is over, for the way his head coach appears to be sabotaging a move that Jerry obviously forced on him -- T.O., which now also stands for Tuna Overload.

Did you get a load of how steamed Jerry was last week in front of the cameras? It reminded me of the night he decided to fire Johnson after Jimmy refused to lift a glass to a toast that Jerry had proposed to a table of assistant coaches and their wives.

This time, Jerry was seething over who leaked the fact that Owens had been fined $9,500 for already being late to a meeting and missing a rehab session for his sore hamstring. Jerry said: "They will not be around this damn place if I find out how that type of information got out. I can tell you that much -- I don't care who it is."

That shot was fired over Parcells' expanding bow. Who benefited the most from the leak? Parcells. Suddenly, the national perception was that Owens was already causing trouble, and it was still August.

I have no proof Parcells was the source of the leak, but several coaches I've talked to around the league figure Parcells had to have something to do with it.

At some flashpoint this season, Jerry will have to pick a side: coach or star? Jerry will back Owens. Jerry already has a soft spot for T.O., telling him they've both risen above as much criticism as any two men in sports.

And Parcells will have to make a choice: Take it, quit or be fired. He will not take it.

Jerry fired Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer. Parcells will make it Jerry's personal Mount Rushmore.
