NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Troy Aikman thought that getting rid of Terrell Owens was a good deal for the Cowboys. Now he is beginning to wonder about the Roy Williams deal.
Even Roy Williams wonders when you will see the real Roy
How bad can my Lions be when their arguably second best player is traded to the Cowboys and can’t even get on the field? Ok, the answer is not a mystery. The Lions are pretty darn bad.
When asked to clarify his thoughts, the former Cowboys quarterback didn’t hold anything back.
“I just think that when you have the chance to evaluate a player to the degree the Cowboys were able to and then to give up what you gave up, if he’s not a No. 1 receiver and not a highly productive player for this team, that’s a huge flaw within their scouting department,” Aikman said.
…The Cowboys sent three 2009 draft picks — a first-, third- and sixth-rounder — to the Lions for Williams just before the trade deadline on Oct. 14. In a way, the trade also cost them Terrell Owens, whom Jones released after the season partly because of the investment in Williams.

Steelers go after Arizona again

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Will it be a replay of the Super Bowl? Probably not, the intensity would never be matched. It was, with a special emphasis on was, a pretty intense and exciting Super Bowl.
Cardinals or Terrell Owens?
What we have here is a rematch of not immense proportions. Oddly this rematch will lack any intensity at all. After all, it will be exhibition season.
As enticing a matchup as that looks on paper, typically coaches play their first teams no longer than the first quarter of the first exhibition game.
The second exhibition game in Heinz Field against Buffalo holds more promise because it will be played at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 29. Typically in that game, coaches play their first teams for nearly three quarters. That game will feature new Bills receiver Terrell Owens, who last visited Heinz Field Dec. 7 with the Cowboys, 20-13 losers to the Steelers.
As much as playing the Cardinals sounds like fun, you have to admit watching Terrell Owens go against the first team Steeler defense will be a whole lot more fun.
