With the unfortunate collapse of the Dallas Cowboys practice facility back on May 2nd injuring 12 people including permanently paralyzed Rich Behm, a Cowboys scouting assistant, the blame is being set.
As investigation of the reason behind the structure collapse relevant but unnecessary media coverage may be focusing all too much on a consultant accused of faking his education credentials whom also served federal prison time for drug trafficking.
These are interesting details being brought to light, and the credentials that awarded him the position which he was responsible are all relevant points that have come to light. Overall the amount of focus being placed on his incarceration should be an irrelevant fact unless a specific reasoning is behind the fact. An ex-con making his way in a legitimate profession with questionable credentials, who may have not had the necessary skills to oversee the project that failed to uphold. A valid point that would warrant fraud charges. On the other hand his past charges have no merit. We do believe in our rehabilitation process after all, right?
The NFL and NCAA has adopted adverse background checks including social media site’s but individual team development projects get a simple once over. There seems to be something to point out in that thought process. Afterall the players throw a football around and crack heads, the structures involve the safety of the safety of everyone involved. Focus on the important facts, as it would be hard to attest to an intentional part in the horrible incident.
Dallas fans have been miffed of late as the Cowboys haven’t quite been the same team in the last few seasons. While Dallas still has the talent to be a playoff or even Super Bowl team, the Cowboys have failed to show the teamwork needed to move past some of the better teams in the league. With names like Tony Romo, Roy Williams, and DeMarcus Ware in the lineup, the Cowboys have the offensive and defensive weapons to be a competitive and even dominant team in the NFL. But critics and fans speculate that what the Cowboys have been missing is unity amongst the team, and a QB who can lead.
Terrell Owens, or T.O. as he is more often known, was like a cancer in the locker room, and because he expected to catch the most passes all the games, it put QB Tony Romo in a tough spot. Keeping T.O. happy was often seen as more important than the team winning, and that’s the kind of attitude that doesn’t win games in the NFL. T.O. was shipped off to Buffalo in a trade, and the Cowboys managed to acquire a few receivers in the process. Now, Tony Romo will be a much more viable QB, and can perhaps provide the leadership the Cowboys need. Teamwork won the Steelers the Super Bowl in 2009, and time will tell whether Cowboys jerseys will be seen all around the Super Bowl stadium in 2010.
Stand up players do exist and they voice opinions that need to be addresses. What a great thing to experience! In a day of bending over and holding back your true feelings for the sake of being politically correct Terrell Davis shines.
“The first guy that’s got to go is T.O.,” said Terrell Davis when discussing his thoughts on hot to go about fixing the Dallas Cowboys.
Cancer is certainly a strong way of putting it but if the NFL is going to save face and be a stand up orgonization these types of subjects should be addressed. It wasn’t malicious and could be agreed by many who have worked with Terrell Owens It has been reflected in his career path, just never put so blatently.
