Turd O is a scum sucking dog. This in today -
"During tonight's Cowboys-Falcons game, cornerback DeAngelo Hall was covering wide receiver Terrell Owens all night. But at one point, Hall says, Owens' spit was covering Hall's face. "I lost all respect for the guy," Hall said. "We were kind of walking face to face, walking back to the huddle, and he just hauled off and spit in my face."
Hall called spitting "the number one sin in the National Football League." On NFL Network after the game, Owens admitted that he did, in fact, spit on Hall: "I got frustrated and I apologize for that, but it was a situation where he kept bugging me."
Deion Sanders, of all people, lectured Owens on the NFL Network set and told him what he did was "degrading." Owens should expect to be fined; during last year's playoffs, Washington safety Sean Taylor was fined $17,000 for spitting on Tampa Bay running back Michael Pittman."
I'll say it. I hate the Cowboys.
The Eagles secondary will be fine, it's the run game that will give them trouble.
But first and foremost - the Giants.
Remember 1980 Eagles fans. I've got my #31 Mitchell and Ness ready.
<< <i>If the Eagles beat the Giants, then the Eagles will definitely beat the Cowboys next week...no problem. If the Eagles lose to the Giants, then that's gonna be a tough win for the Eagles in Dallas. >>
No excuses before they play.
Whether they win or loose to the Giants, they are going down at Dallas. In fact, I hope they do beat the Giants so they come to Texas with the "dream" of actually winning the division...lol, which we all know will not happen

Keep counting those yet to be hatched chickens.
Remember the division tie breaker - Dallas can only get to 3-3 at best against division opponents.
Eagles are 3-1 now and could be 5-1.
Giants are also 3-1. Lose to Eagles and beat Redskins, it's 4-2.
Poor play at the beginning of the season could come back to bite the Cowgirls.
It's closer than you think.
FWIW - was in Philly for the Panthers game. Made the annual trip to Moddells Sporting Goods for some cold weather gear. A clerk comes out of the back with 6 Romo jerseys on hangars. He says "you had to see this coming." I asked "if I buy all 6 will you give me a free pair of scissors so I can cut them to shreds right here?" He seemed agreeable.
T.O. SPITS IN HALL'S FACE
After Saturday night's Cowboys-Falcons game, Atlanta cornerback DeAngelo Hall claimed that Dallas receiver Terrell Owens spit in his face. "I lost all respect for the guy," Hall said (which means that, before the incident, Hall was the only person in the world not related to or employed by Owens who actually had respect for him).
Amazingly, Owens admitted that he did it during a postgame interview on NFLN. T.O. said that the move was made in response to constant verbal badgering from Hall during the game, and from Hall's boasting that he "shut down" Owens during a 2005 game in which Owens had more than 100 yards receiving.
Specifically, Owens had seven receptions for 112 yards during a September 12 Monday nighter between the Eagles and the Falcons.
Though there's apparently no video evidence of the spittle, Owens' admission should be more than enough to permit the league to impose a fine. In 1997, former Broncos linebacker Bill Romanowski was fined $7,500 for spitting in the face of former 49ers receiver J.J. Stokes.
But the arrival of new Commissioner Roger Goodell has pumped up the price tag for most transgressions. A blow to the ball bag used to cost only $7,500, too. When Raiders defensive end Tyler Brayton put a knee in the nuts of Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens earlier this season, the league slapped him with a $25,000 fine.
Also, don't forget that the NFL stripped Redskins safety Sean Taylor of an entire playoff game check ($17,000) for spitting in the face of Buccaneers running back Michael Pittman in January. (The amount of Taylor's fine, however, likely was influenced by his history of transgressions.)
Our guess? T.O.'s man purse will be at least $15,000 lighter, and we wouldn't be surprised if the eventual fine is $25,000.
JONES PROPS UP OWENS
At a time when Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens is being criticized both for recent contradictory and (in our view) bizarre statements made during an ESPN interview and for spitting in the face of Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall, T.O.'s real boss has thrown him a bone.
After Saturday night's game, Dallas owner Jerry Jones proclaimed that Owens severed a tendon in his right ring finger a few weeks back in practice and that he declined season-ending surgery, even though (sniff) he might never have full use of the ring finger for . . . the . . . rest . . . of . . . his . . . life.
"There's no question about what he's willing to do for his team," Jones said.
"I'm doing this for the team," Owens said. "I've done it before, where I've played through injuries and put all my selfish nature and my personal stuff to the side and put the team first."
In comments that were aired on ESPN, coach Bill Parcells indicated that he wasn't aware of the injury.
The oddest aspect of this, as we see it, is the failure of Owens to mention the injury at all during his rambling, self-indulgent remarks to Michael Irvin of ESPN, in which T.O. offered up any and all possible excuses for his inability to catch and secure the football on a regular basis. A severed tendon in a finger in his right hand is a lot more plausible to us than the notion that T.O. is distracted between the lines by a snitch who is feeding bad things about him to the media.
"On NFL Countdown, the talk is about Terrell Owens spitting on DeAngelo Hall. Tom Jackson says of Owens, "It's time for someone to do something about him." Jackson then says everyone on the set would fight someone who spat in his face. (Personally, I suspect Chris Berman would back down.) Mike Ditka says if he were Hall, he'd be waiting outside the locker room to punch Owens after the game. Chris Mortensen says the league will fine Owens but apparently not suspend him."
Also, if you don't want to get spit on then don't flap your gums. It's really that easy.
<< <i>Like every other red-blooded American man I have no use for Terrell Owens, but in defense I will say that Hall seems like a genuine peckerhead. If he had to spit on somebody then that's who I would have picked.

I agree - seems like they are both peckerheads, though Owens would win a biggest peckerhead contest hands down any day.

I'm not one of these guys who's prone to comparing 'real' life with the life of pro athletes (i.e., 'I don't see why he gets away with that, since I could never do that on my job', and so forth), but I'll say this-- if you tease and taunt another man you more or less got what's coming to you. I can think of no scenerio where I would consider the spitter in a situation like this to be villian. If you don't like getting spit on, then don't treat people in such a way that compells them to spit on you. And then, when they DO spit on you, don't whine to the media. Wipe it off and shut up. Or spit back.
