That's a really Christ-like attitude there. :rolleyes:

I hope the Steelers get Keyshawn Johnson .
-
Can't think of a team that deserves him more.
Nothing we'd love to see more than a rematch of the Bounty Bowl.
Now we have one more reason to hate Dallas. -
How sad. :(
It's pretty clear that some Christians who should know better are being eaten up with either jealousy or anger over Dallas' signing of T.O.
Let it go, brothers. Let it go. -

You know it's one thing to root for one team to perform better than another team. The problem with this thread from a Christian perspective is that what is being posted is not merely the above but wishing and hoping that a fellow human being will act in an unChristian manner because some posters don't like him and hate(since when should a Christian hate a person or a sports team) the ball team he will be playing for.
I guess when I was a teenager/young adult I could have been described as hating certain teams but thankfully I grew out of that childishness. -

If I'm angry about anything, it's that Andy didn't throw him out on his ear about five minutes after training camp opened and he wasn't there.
Between Lindros, Rolen and Barkley, if we've learned anything here, it's that once you let these guys get a foothold, it becomes a cancer on the team.
I'll guarantee you, Vermeil and Shero would never have allowed that to go on.
If we've learned anything from Bowa and Barber and the Pope (the good pope, not that guy in Rome), it's that the coach needs to know when to put his foot down.
I'm also a little annoyed at the coaches who broke up the fight between Owens and Douglas. From what I understand, Hugh was beating him like a...uh, I don't know....something you'd beat really badly. -

I dont think you can lay that on the boys anymore than you can any other NFL team - can you say Minnesota??
Here is what I wish - as a dallas fan, that we would have kept Keshawn - he has been a very positive influence - although without the game breaking ability that TO has, and spent that TO money on some great O linemen. They signed one old Jet yesterday, but the O line has been a problem for several years now..Without protection Drew will revert to his tendency to hold onto the ball too long and the running game will never be productive (look at last year). TO will not have the chances to be a gamebreaker and will instead turn into a team breaker.
Did ya notice that the Great Magnificent Tuna was no where to be found at the press conference yesterday - kind of makes you go hmmmmm. -
Ken, I think you are convienantly forgeting some of your posts on different topics here in the sports forum. But thats ok. I understand you are excited about TO coming to your team, and because of your team having a better chance at winning you are willing to overlook some things about TO.
From your others posts about TO, I highly doubt you would be this forgiving towards him if he was going to any other team.
I wish him and the Cowboys well, and i truly hope he has changed. But only time will tell. -
Darwin Walker was charged with animal cruelty for abandoning a dog, but those charges were dropped when it was discovered that it wasn't his dog.
Mike Mamula had a little too much to drink and was given a ticket for public urination (who among us in Philly haven't done that in the parking lot...the Phillies and Eagles are notorious for not providing adequate restroom facilities).
Sorry, but about the biggest thing you can get us on is that the wife of a low level front office executive was arrested for fleeing the scene of an accident and even she turned herself in.
That there are bad guys in Minnesota doesn't make the Cowboys any less a collection of dirtbags.
In all fairness, the Flyers did have a convicted rapist and drug dealer (Billy Tibbits), but he was traded almost immediately because of fan outrage. Of course, the fact that he was just bloody awful didn't help any. -
NOT! </font>[/QUOTE]Just the same attitude you show when talking about the Pistons. :D -
I was surprised to learn there's still an NFL team in Dallas ...
-
Mike
I guess you have forgotton about the Love Boat scandal and the Mike Tice ticket scalping incident?
Since Michael Irvin retired and Switzer left town, the cowboys have been as clean as any team in the NFL (dont know that is saying much) but there have not been any drug/women scandals around here in a while -
You mean since I posted about it yesterday?
-
carson wont win any mother teressa awards that for sure - but he hasnt even played for the boys in the last two years - the magnificent tuna said that he was a big dissapointment.
I didnt see you reference the vikes love boat scandal or the tice incident in your previous posts - forgive me if I missed them. I just dont see the boys as any worse than any other nfl team from a character standpoint.
if you check out my prior posts, you will see than I am not a TO fan myself (he was on one of my fantasy teams last year - that didnt work out to well). but knowing the freaks who are dallas fans, my prediction is that in the first preseason game that TO will catch a td pass, run to the star, fall down on it and kiss it - and all will be forgiven. -
It wasn't two minutes after they officially announced that TO was being let go from the Eagles last week that I looked at my co-worker and told him that he would end up in Dallas, I told him the only team that would take a player that everyone "loves to hate" is the team that everyone "loves to hate".
