Bedtime fan Fuss - Big Mouth to Big D

Well it appears that Jerry Jones and his Dallas Cowboys are looking to add suspended Eagle Terrell Owens next season. Jones recently made comments to that effect on a Dallas radio show.

"In general, I am a risk-taker. We've gone down that road," Jones said when asked if the Cowboys might be interested in Owens. "I probably have a propensity to try and make things work. ... A top receiver could flourish with Drew Bledsoe. That's always appealing."

The comments supposedly broke a league rule, forcing Philadelphia to file a complaint with the NFL. Why file a complaint? Owens is under contract with the Eagles until released, and it's not like the Birds plan on keeping him in the nest.

The Jones comment did take me by surprise, however, as on a tour of Texas Stadium in April of this year, the guide frequently made references against T.O. After all, he has a pretty villainous history there. While playing for the 49ers, Owens expanded his endzone celebration to mid-field twice in the same game. On his next visit to Big D, this time with the Eagles, he made it clear he was the epitome of the enemy racking up 134 yards and three TDs.

But Jones does make a point when he says he's been down that road before. The last major player who was deactivated, Keyshawn Johnson, has resurrected his career in Dallas. The foot-in-mouth disease that plagued Johnson's stints with the Jets and Bucs seems to be all but gone under head coach Bill Parcells.

Perhaps T.O. can flourish in Dallas. With the Cowboys on the Eagles schedule twice a year, I'd relish the opportunity to watch Brian Dawkins and Lito Sheppard size up #81. Considering that T.O. is a cancer for any team he is a part of, there is no team in the league more deserving than the Cowboys.

Buyer beware.
