Roy Williams Will Not Have You Mistaking Him for TO, Thank You

I don't know what it is about sports that makes us enjoy the valleys of our rivals almost as much as our own teams' peaks. I believe the Germans call it schadenfreude, and try as I might (not really) to be above it, I can't help but get a laugh when a Cowboys star tries to detonate his cresting team. 

Kulp mentioned yesterday that Roy Williams, the "stud" receiver the Cowboys spent a huge haul of draft picks on, then a huge haul of money to lock up, wasn't happy with anyone thinking he's a number 2. Most of us thought he was lower than that on their depth chart this year (literally fourth in receiving production), but he'll have none of that. He also showed no amount of veteran leadership in his comments about Miles Austin's success and both receivers' chemistry with Tony Romo. Now, in order to clarify his statement, he did what most foot-in-mouthers do, he indicated the comments were taken out of context, and then threw someone else's name into the mix—Terrell Owens, in this case. Didn't I tell you this was fun?

"I'm not a T.O.," Williams said. "I'm not trying to be a T.O. I'm happy to win. I've said that a hundred times. I don't understand why people don't just say OK."  

Why would he go after TO like that? Could it be because Owens name-dropped Williams just last week?

"I have been looking at my stats compared to Roy E. Williams' stats over there with the Cowboys and my goal is to have better stats than him by the end of the season," Owens said Wednesday. "I am looking forward to it. I can feel the momentum on this team."

Yes, if you're going to reach for the stars as a #1 WR, you should set your sites on Roy Williams, who is on pace for a little better than 30 catches and 4 TDs this season. Things have gotten bad in Buffalo, and now, you can be sure a reporter will be reading Williams' comments about "not being a TO" at Owens' next press opportunity. 

We haven't reached full-on cat fight status yet, but who knows what'll come next. Speaking of which...

The saying in German goes something like, schadenfreude ist die schoenstefreude. It loosely translates to happiness at the expense of another's misery is the best happiness. The cowboys are funny...and about to lose big time.

I had to post this here because I think that I may be bounced from Iggleshog, where I originally read your post. Now, apparently, Bountybowl.com is over and out. So, Enrico, I hope you don't mind me soapboxing here. If anything, I think you should take it as a compliment..

Bounty Bowler, I will not admit that baseball is inferior to football, because that is what you are leading to.

Baseball, most certainly isn’t football. Two different sports with two different dynamics and approaches. Besides, there’s something about this team (the Phils managed by the incomparable, Uncle Cholly) that captures the imagination…something that this Andy Reid coached team fails to do in measure.

Plus, the majority of football fans are simply uneducated heathens with no real concept of what a good football team looks like. It is much more difficult to say that of baseball fans.

And if it’s pagentry that you want, it’s difficult to top the bunting hanging from the mezzanine in cool, crisp October air. The NFL has succeeded in overkilling it’s marketing endeavors so that pro football now takes on a campy-WWE-like nature.

I just don’t think this is good for the game. Call me old school, but I miss the days when the most spectacular and electrifying thing about the NFL was Randall Cunningham…not the outside the whistles hype fest propagated by no less than double digit talking heads.

The fanfare surounding the NFL these days just seems to cheapen the affair. In Philadelphia, Andy Reid's "successful" seasons but unfufilled promise don't help matters where that is concerned.

The Flyers could send Cote to BYU. However there is a chance that he may lose a fight there. ZING

I'm kidding Cote would kill a bitch

Ive seen, played an know people who played soccer all my life, but ive NEVER seen that kinda stuff during a game. That girl should have gotten an ejection after the pony tail tug down. The kick ball into the face AFTER the trip should be atleast a year suspension. This ref should an will lose his job. Theres no place for sports in that kind of immature shit. Especially in college when your not even getting PAID to play. You play for the heart of the game an to maybe someday make the pro's. Id spit in that girls face if i could. I do kinda agree with Welkett though. Im suprised BYU didnt send some bench scrub to take her ass out on a slide tackle or something. But i guess a nice "LOOK AT THE SCORE BOARD SLUT BAG" probably did the trick.

Oh and as for TO vs R.E.WILLIAMS..There both over the hill, they will never put up productive seasons again. Maybe TO will because he stays in great shape but it wont be anything like he was in Philly. Id like to see the end of season stats for both players because there both gonna be GOD AWFUL haha more awful then TO's "Reality" show hahahha

Don't mess with women from New Mexico.
