We all need a T.O. timeout

The Big D in Dallas actually stands for “dunce.” Jerry Jones is truly ignorant if he didn’t realize what he and the Cowboys were in for when he signed Terrell Owens.

As for Owens, he is a great football player but also a very troubled individual. This is only the latest chapter in an ongoing drama. Hopefully he will seek the professional help he desperately needs. His future in football should be of secondary importance at this point.

911: This is 911, can I help you?

Publicist: Yes, I am here with Terrell Owens and he seems incoherent and depressed.

911: Why is he depressed?

Publicist: He says he hasn’t had enough TV exposure lately.

911: What do you think will help him out of his depression?

Publicist: The only thing that usually works is a news conference.

If Terrell Owens really wants to attract some serious attention to make mouths agape, here are three things he must do:

1. Attend every Cowboy practice, on time, and shut his mouth when needed before and after.

2. Cancel all future touchdown celebrations.

3. Repeat #1 and #2.

I wish I had never heard of Terrell Owens.
