Kornheiser column

In today's Kornheiser column in the WashPost, he suggested tht Terrell Owens can land with the Skins if all it takes is money.

Question is, do we (as fans) even want his toxicity in the locker room. Unquestionably, the team has great chemistry as it stands.

Yeah I read that... You notice how his attitude changes from week to week? I hate him soooo much. He doesnt know what he's talking about, Coach Gibbs runs this team now, Snyder has taken a different approach and is not gonna just go get a player like TO.

Vinny Cerato was asked on "Elliot in the Morning" about any possibility of picking up TO given teh chance and Vinny emphatically said that the Redskins have NO interest in TO.

I'd rather we signed Gladys Owens, who I'm reliably informed is now a free agent, having completed three years working the fish counter at a petrol station just outside Swindon.

Vinnie also went on to say that Mark Brunnell was exactly right at the post game press conference in saying that Terrell Owens does NOT fit with this organization. This is Kornheiser trying to put a local spin on a national story that's already received too much damned coverage in my opinion.

Kornheiser is entertaining. That's all. He really doesn't know much about sports. He pretty much admits it at times.
He's OK on radio.

Tony Kornheiser's article's are also written in a sarcastic tone or to play the Devil's Advocate.

...and, no I don't want him and we wouldn't take him. Perhaps if it was the year 2000, we'd take him but not in 2005.

He also said that yesterday on PTI. I think he just wants to provoke conversation just as this has done.

You can't take cornholer seriously, all he talks about is golf. No chance we get T.O. It has taken 13 years to rebuild only to throw in some cancer once we've finally got a team. NO CHANCE!

I think I'd PAY him to stay away from our locker room. Yes he is explosive, but he has too much excess baggage.

as much as i hate TO, do you think gibbs will see him as a work in progress? We all know that Gibbs is famous for taken trouble players and making them team players. If Gibbs could turn him around I would take him in a heartbeat, but then again is he even capable of being turned around?

Having Owens and Santana Moss as our starting WR's would create huge matchup problems for any team in the league, so on paper grabbing TO would be great for the team. The question is what if he pulls some stunts that screws out team chemistry. I'll leave this one up to Gibbs and co. If they find a way to keep TO in check it would pay huge dividends for our ballclub

Guys, this is stupid. We're NOT getting T.O.

End of story.

Korny's an idiot. If he paid attention during the offseason he would have noticed that Gibbs got rid of Coles and Gardener just for not wanting to follow the teams’ gameplan. An if Snyder was really in control of personel discissions we would have a bunch of high priced big name players instead of quality players with a tremendous amount of heart. T.O and Gibbs (or any other coach in our division) would mix like oil and water. Don't look for him to be on any team in the NFC East.

Biases aside, this description captures the essence of T.O., IMO. On the field, in practice, and in the offseason workouts, he gives it his all. Of course, the problems arise when he feeels he's underpaid or underappreciated, but, as far as having no heart, that certainly is not T.O.

Have you seen this man's body and atheltic ability? He is a great talent. If only he could get his head straight (something Joe Gibbs is more than able to do, IMO.

), he could be as great as he thinks he is, perhaps more.

Gibbs was successful with Dexter Manley, and I believe would be the kind of coach that just might turn T.O. around. That being said, the chances of him winding up anywhere but Arizona or Houston where they need the draw are slim to none.

WylieSkins · Post by **WylieSkins** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 10:02 am

I would take him in a heart beat. I keep hearing about how Joe is too old to deal with T.O. I say phooey.

Scottskins · Post by **Scottskins** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 11:48 am

I keep expecting to see a certain hater come in here in tell us how we are all stupid if we don't think the Skins should pickup TO. We need a #1 receiver. Our recievers are average to bad. We didn't pick up Mike Williams(stupid stupid stupid...) so we HAVE to take TO.

lmao. There's no way Joe lets TO come in here. If the Eagles can't control him, nobody can. TO is cancer just like we all knew he was going to be with the Eagles. He almost helped them win the superbowl which is what he was brought there for. Now he's killing there team. Now he's going bye bye.

Our team, the Washington Redskins, does NOT need a superstar like TO. If he had Marvin Harrisons attitude, then heck yeah we'd take him, but he doesn't and even if he did, he'd never be available.

We don't need stars and we will still win the superbowl.

gspdark1 · Post by **gspdark1** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 5:19 pm

I think the only way to really shut TO is to put a clause in his contract decellarates his salary everytime he says something stupid. Oh, he won't be released and he'd still have to play he just won't get paid comensurrate to any assinine statements he makes. He'll never sign it of course, but I see no other way.
