Actually, he was his usual jerk self. Always the everyone-but-me attitude...

Terrell Owens says that Bill Parcells' retirement can only be a good thing for the Cowboys, according to a report in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Speaking to the newspaper from Miami, where he is recovering from finger surgery, Owens said his play, and that of the Cowboys, was disappointing in the past season. He said the results are partly attributed to Parcells.
“I am just hoping his retirement brings promise to what the team has to offer,� Owens said. “This past year was a big letdown. On paper we were as good as anybody we played against every week. The end result didn’t show that. Our play was not indicative of what we could have done. What we should have done. Hopefully, the owner will hire a coach to take the team to the next level.�
T.O. said that Parcells fostered an unhealthy locker room environment.
“Sometimes change is good,� Owens told the paper. “ I think it was needed.�
Owens said Parcells sometimes wouldn't talk to him for weeks, and did not offer and words of encouragement after his accidental overdose.
“Coming into this season and this situation, I wanted to be positive,� Owens told the Star-Telegram. “When I talked to him for the first time we left an impression on each other. I still think he is a great guy. But he is like my grandmother. You love the person, but they are stuck in their old-school ways. You can’t move them from their way of thought.�
“You don’t know who is doing what,� Owens said. “You don’t know who is calling plays. That is why our offense was up and down. You saw that at the end of the year. It filtered off. We as a team felt the frustration. I felt the frustration. But Bill is Bill.�
Owens admitted that he did not play up to his potential, but he also said that he didn't fit into the offense.
“I was underutilized in the offense,� Owens said. “A new coach can be good for the Cowboys. It’s not just me. But my teammates know I could have done more. I wasn’t used as a No. 1 receiver. If you don’t involve a guy, that person is not going to be as productive as he can be. That’s how I felt.�

That's a true #1 reciever wannabe talking there. The damn guy dropped more passes than he caught. No wonder they didn't throw to him. I watched a few games where he was wide open and let the ball go right through his hands. He needs to just shut his mouth and prove he is the "great" reciever he thinks he is. What a d*ck. No wonder he took those pills. Accidental my a**.

he casught 83 passes and dropped 18... so that would have been 101 catches... how many more chances do you want to be a #1 receiver? 101 catches would have put him 2nd in the league. he was already 1st in TD catches and 9th in yards (how many more would he have made if he didnt dop those)... I think they tried to make him the #1 and he couldnt respond.

Maybe he should have tried catching them in his mouth...it's big enough. Seriously, I am a lifelong Dallas fan, but I'd love to see T.O. retire or move to another team before next season.
