Better Marketing Idea

Postby PerunaPunch » Tue Mar 14, 2006 5:04 pm

If it's true that TO just signed with the Cowboys, not 40 minutes after he was released by the Eagles, we should be able to pack Ford Stadium this fall.

We just need to remind everyone of TO's antics on the Dallas Cowboys mid-field star and work to capture all those fans who have just given up on Jerry & Co.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys released receiver Keyshawn Johnson on Tuesday, avoiding a $1 million bonus he was due and possibly creating room for Terrell Owens.

Johnson is a favorite of coach Bill Parcells and was only scheduled to make $1.5 million this season. However, he was seeking an extension and a raise, and the Cowboys apparently wanted to keep their options open — perhaps especially because T.O. is available.

"Keyshawn is one of a handful of the top competitors that have ever played for the Dallas Cowboys," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. "The more he was a part of our team, the more we appreciated him as a player."

This quote sounds awfully like the way Jerry eulogized Tom Landry.

Is that confirmed? Don't see it on the Cowboys site, NFL.com, ESPN.com, etc.

TO mocked the Cowboys and Emmitt Smith by running to the star at midfield and holding his arms out (hard to describe this), looking up to heaven or whatever. The Cowboys fans were PISSED about this, so I think people are saying now that the Cowboys actually signed this clown, many of their fans will be turned away. We could advertise to that crowd and replace their love of the cowboys with loving the Mustangs, Dallas's other football team.

Those same Dallas fans who booed him when he ran to the star are going to cheer like hell for him at the first preseason game, and all will claim "oh, I always liked him. His behavior is just showmanship." These are the same people who claim they went to Texas Stadium for every game when the team was 1-15, and playing in front of 40,000 empty seats every week.

Deion Sanders was hated in Dallas until we signed him too. Dallas loves winners, and as soon as TO starts catching balls and making touchdowns fans will love him.

There's one word for the majority of Dallas' sports fans: fickle.
