T.O. Wondering What Fans Will Throw at Him :lol: Cheesesteaks, Batteries, Huggies ALl Mentioned By JAIME ARON AP Sports IRVING, Texas (Oct. 5) - Walking off the field after this past Sunday's game in Tennessee , Terrell Owens already had the Philadelphia Eagles on his mind. "He said, 'Get ready to go, it's a big one,"' tight end Jason Witten said Thursday. "There were a couple of other things he said, but I don't know that I could tell you guys them." Laughing about unprintable things has been a common theme around the Dallas Cowboys this week as they brace for the reception they'll get Sunday when they head to Philly with nemesis T.O. in tow. Players have talked about eggs thrown at their bus when Eagles fans merely hated the Cowboys for being the Cowboys. Coach Bill Parcells fondly recalled some of the vulgar comments he's heard over two decades of games in Philadelphia. And Owens offered a list of things that might be hurled at him: "Cheesesteaks, batteries, Huggies. Anything." "They may have to beef up security this week," he added. As much as Parcells enjoys the competition, he quickly tired of talk about how rude, crude and lewd Philly fans might be. Once he had his fill, he cut it off by saying, "We're not going to Vietnam here now." Owens is smiling way too much to consider this war. He's called it a "homecoming," although that's not the right word either. "I'm just excited," Owens said Thursday. "I'm looking forward to it." Witten said Owens' eagerness has been evident on the practice field. "He's had a little extra step out there," Witten said. "He's been playing fast, really excited. I know he's anxious for it. He feels like he's got something to prove, maybe. ... I'm excited to see what happens." So is Cowboys quarterback Drew Bledsoe , who knows all about Owens' history of living up to his own hype. Bledsoe admits he'll be looking for No. 81 so much that he'll have to "resist that urge a little bit." "I know that he wants to go in there and have an impact on the game, and have a big game, and we want that for him," Bledsoe said. "If I've got a chance to get him the ball, he'll get it." Bledsoe also said he's looking forward to the "crazy" atmosphere. "I'm sure there are a lot of fans up there who have been working on their signs for a long time now," he said. "It's a huge challenge for us, but that's what you live for." Because of the hoopla that always surrounds T.O., there hasn't been much talk about the football - a shame because it's a pretty good early-season matchup. Both come in with high-flying offenses, and whoever comes out with the win will be alone atop the NFC East. Owens talked Wednesday about the advantage he might have from competing against the secondary in practice the last two years. He also noted the success of bigger receivers, such as himself, against the Eagles this year. The top example is Giants receiver Plaxico Burress making a winning touchdown catch in overtime against cornerback Sheldon Brown. Burress is 6-foot-5, Owens is 6-3 and Brown is 5-10. "I think if you look at the film you'll see the situation they've been taken advantage of," Owens said. "I feel like I'm the kind of receiver who can stretch the field and make guys miss. It's going to be a good game, it's going to be an exciting game."
I hate Ownes but I hope he sticks it to Philly. Serves them right for signing Owens in the first place.
Ill always love T.O....maybe the only person on this board but whatever. I hope the cowboys stick it to the eagles, just because i hate eagle fans so much. Im wondering how long its gonna take before T.O. gets jacked up.
I have been to a few Iggles games and have found that after moving to the new digs they have become a 'bit' more civilized (on the way into and leaving the game is a different story). The Iggles chant is clearer and less slurred, the place is more like the Ritz-Carlton in Naples on New Years to some of the blue collar folks they are out of their element and many were priced out of the close seats. Everything has become big business, if the Vet was still around all bets are off, TO would need an umbrella to get through the tunnel...but times they are a changing, look out all you rock and rollers...a sanitized environment is riding into the Meadowlands in the near future and big brother will see you if you get out of line:shit:
can't wait 2 see B-dawk level T.O. right in the mouth.. i hate this guy man serious.. the eagles are gonna destroy the cryboys..
i have a question why do u guys hate the eagles fans? why cause they get all crazy at games? so what thats what going 2 a football game is all about. if u can't take the heat stay away from the kitchen. u might as well go and see a falg football game..
i know thank goodness, they were busting my balls all preseason.''if you guys win 3 or 4 take it as a good year, chad will be hurt week 2.'' i wanted to smack him. pa bars not so much fun with eagles and steelers fans everywhere.
It's too bad his childrens book won't be out in time. That would be perfect to throw. And, it would probably sail along like a frisbee.
:rofl: Brilliant! Yea..sure..TO's a role model I want my kids to relate to. Might as well allow Michael Jackson to babysit.
spears, hand grenades, and maybe some rocks hell, do it bugs bunny style and throw a battleship at him
