Y’all know that I try to be impartial and call it like I see it, but I don’t even fool with the Cowboys like that. But after watching them this season, I got a couple things I gotta confess.
1. Marion Barber is that dude. I don’t think it’s possible to like football and NOT like to watch Marion Barber run the ball. Straight up, that dude is a manimal. Don’t get me wrong, I dig Westbrook and everything he brings to the table, but Marion Barber? He makes me feel sorry for the dudes who try to tackle him. I don’t even like the Cowboys, but I’d watch them fools every week just to see him punish defenders.
2. Number 81 is a straight-up hoss. I still don’t know where I’d put him all-time, but I’m willing to admit that some of that is just residual hate. The rest is because I don’t know that he’s better than #84. But I do know that if Terrell Owens ain’t the best wide receiver of his generation, he definitely got a legitimate claim to the title. I don’t care what you say, you cannot front on that dude. He’s the truth. I’ll say that as many touchdowns as he and Romo have, he’d probably have 1.5 times that had he stayed playing with Donovan, but dude is just a stone-cold football player, and I hate it when jive sportscasters try to deny him.
Their hate is gon’ turn me into a defender, if not an outright fan.
Still can’t stand the team they play for, but them dudes right there? They sho’ nuff.
T.O. well deserves the enmity thrown his way by the sportscasters, because while he’s a fantastic athlete, he’s a Class 1 distraction and a horrible teammate. You can almost set your watch for his annual bitch-out. Randy Moss is a boy scout by comparison.
It seems Ocho Cinco! is trying to give T.O. a run for his money. I understand why they do what they do — it gets them stoopid ducats. But it doesn’t win rings.
Football lovers can’t help but dig on how Marion Barber plays the game.
Moss, like TO, will quit on a team and help destroy the chemistry. Both of them need to be on championship teams for me to give them their due to compensate for how they punked a couple of football teams.
I like Barber alright, but I would take AP over him. D.McFadden looks like he wants to do something, and now huggy’s boy is hurt, so he’ll get his chance.
Marvin Lewis is about to lose his job. As for the Bengals WRs, I’d rather have TJ.
Does TO have a rep for quitting on his team? Not sure about that. He may harangue his QBs too much, ack a foo too much, but I don’t know that quitter is a label you can hang on him. Dude rehabbed like a man possessed to get back in time to try to help the Iggles win a ring. Remember that? I’m no fan of his either, but some people force you to give credit where credit’s due.
Attacking your QB (he’s done it twice) has that effect.
