T.O. is probably the mosted hated player in the NFL in the Dallas area. To say this is a bold move by Jerry Jones is an understatement.

Jones and Parcells are desperate to win, now, and they somehow think having a man who has destroyed team morale everywhere he's been will do it.

I don't get this. I especially don't get it when the player is universally despised in Dallas.

I wouldn't be surprised if team morale goes down the crapper when he steps into the team camp.

It's a huge gamble. Deion Sanders and Charles Haley were not popular in Dallas before their arrival, but that worked out.

There's no question that T.O. has the physical talent. If he's somehow had a Saul on the road to Damascus moment, it could be one of the greatest coups in NFL history.

The problem is, none of us have any reason to believe that's happened.

That is totally irrelevant - football is a business. Coaches and players need to win or they lose their jobs. Fans are the only ones that get their feelings hurt.

Whatever fans Dallas loses by signing Owens will be replaced 10 times over if they become winners again.

In any event, fans get over it if the player produces. Deion Sanders wasn't the most popular guy either but he produced so everything worked out.
