Well...

I made T.O. earn his love, but now he has it, unconditionally. He’s a prima donna for sure, but every team has at least one.

How can you not love TO when he is such a warrior. Played for the Eagles in the SB after he broke his ankle, and rehabbed on Christmas and New Years last year to come back for the Giants game. He’s willing to sell his soul for ya, how can you not love him.

He’s a warrior and I have a lot of respect for him.

He's a warrior and a stud

but he just never seemed to get to that point of maturity when you learn to keep your mouth shut. I mean, anyone of us could look back in our lives and think of somebody who we feel wronged us but most of us are adult enough to get over it.

TO’s new motto needs to be “He who speaks, doesn’t know. He who knows, doesn’t speak” because the guy has proven to everyone that he is a beast on the field so why he keeps flapping his gums is beyond me.

I won't forgive T.O. until he contributes

to at least one SB title for us because of the star incident that happened 8 years ago. Only a SB title will be able to forgive that kind of disrespect.

TO found himself in Dallas

I hated TO before he was here, and not just for the star thing. He was a hated 49er, then he went to the hated Eagles. He went out of his way to throw Garcia and McNabb under the bus, by all accounts two of the most decent guys in the NFL.

I remember being in LA for St. Patty’s Day and looking up and seeing the message scrolling across the bottom of the bar’s TV: Terrell Owens signs with Cowboys. I was conflicted – I hated the player, but was genuinely excited. Like most Cowboys fans, I will root for anyone wearing a Cowboys jersey, and I was willing to give TO a chance.

It really took until Parcells left for me to fully embrace TO. I sympathized with him over the “accidental overdose” and the media bonanza that followed. I liked the way he responded to the Dallas fans. And most of all, I realized he was a man that had finally found peace in Dallas; he has an owner that gives him the TLC he needs, he has a coach that respects him, and he has a QB that he loves.

For me, it kind of happened all it once. It wasn’t until he cried last year after the playoff game that I truly appreciated how much my opinion had changed about TO. Many ridiculed him for that, but he didn’t care. He was as upset or more as any fan, but he didn’t try to stab anyone in the back unlike his past stops. He sat up there and wore his heart on his sleeve and bled silver and blue.

TO is now a leader on this team. He set the gold standard for hard work that every other player follows, and he makes this team better on and off the field. I have no doubt that he has found a home here, will retire as a Cowboy, and will be a great member of the Cowboys family after his career as a player ends.

That’s why I love TO.

well said grape......I love me some TO as well

I love TO

Because he is cowboy and he is a beast, if I was a fan of any other team I would probably hate TO.

Well, if you think about it...

T.O. loves him some him. And if he’s self-assured enough to love himself, there’s no reason for us to not love him also.

31 teams may dream of the Superbowl but only one team, the Dallas Cowboys, expect it.

I always loved T.O.

I pretended to hate him when he stood on the star. And when he was in Philly. I just really wished we had him. Who did we draft in the 2nd round that year? Kavika Pittman? If only we had known.

As far as the Star thing

I got two words for you….

George Teague….HaHa

And TO was just showboating anyhow…Don’t get me wrong I couldn’t stand him….But mainly cause he played for the niners and then the eagles.
But when the stuff went down in philly like it did…I thought to myself…wouldn’t it be awesome to team TO with Terry Glenn?
And then it happened I was stoked.

TO is a warrior
He is a physical specimen…Dude is built like a greek god…and he stays in perfect shape,you won’t find another guy his age….in tip top shape like TO is.

Plus I love TO mostly…Because he’s a cowboy!
