The National Football league.......
Uses different terminology..........But make no mistake........the Dallas Cowboys cutting ties with all world wide receiver Terrell Owens.....was just a good old fashioned firing....in the real world of economics and business......
Your services.......are no longer needed. Please return your play-book........
The company has decided.....you are terminated.....please relinquish all company keys....parking passes.......credit cards.....etc.........Security will escort you to your vehicle..........
Pack up all of your personal belongings.......clear out your desk........you have been replaced......
We regret to inform you..........Your position......has been eliminated......please read the following e-mail for possible severance options you may be entitled to...........(I think Radio Shack used this one)........
You're...........fired!!!!!! Blunt........to the point........made famous by Donald Trump..........
As for Terrell Owens...........Officially........he was "released" from the Dallas Cowboys........Meaning he is free to sign with any other NFL team.......That is if any other NFL team wants to sign him..........he will be cheap......That 3 year 25 million dollar contract ends with the release.......although the Cowboys have already anted up 10 million in guaranteed bonus and first year pay-out.
No team will be obligated or binded by a current contract....so.....Mr. Owens.......and his agent......will have to settle for whatever is available ....
Why are we enjoying this so much?
Simple...........T.O. is so easy to hate........The famous quote, "I love me ....some me"....
T. O. complete dissing of Donovan McNabb.........."He's the one who threw up in the Super Bowl".......
Terrell Owens is a talent.......he is big........fearless........and confident.......in a sport that requires all of the above.
But .......it is how he .......Terrell.......has presented himself........throughout his career.......that makes this latest news making story........fun to watch.....
Hell..........he got fired..........and I was glad to see it.
In fairness.......we will give Mr. Owens.....the final word.......
From his website..........to his fans:
Official Statement
I want to thank Jerry Jones, Coach Phillips and the Dallas Cowboys for the opportunity to be a member of the team for the past three years.
A big thanks to the fans -- you've been awesome! I look forward to the upcoming season and continuing to play in the NFL.
I would like to extend my thoughts and prayers to the families of Marquis Cooper, Corey Smith and William Bleakley.
As a Dallas fan........I saw this coming. T.O. deserves better...the Cowboys used him... And blamed him for the 'boys fall December. It wasn't Owen's fought that Romo is not the fair haired QB to lead us to the promise land.
ReplyDeleteGood riddance....just go....T.O. is a cancer.....the Cowboys are better off without him.
