Surprised I hadn't seen any posts about this yet today. Was wondering what people thought about how this will impact the Cowboys/Parcell when they have to answer question after question in every town they visit about the details that will come out in this book.
Cowboys are going to learn the hard way what my Eagles and the 49ers know. When you have TO on your team you've got both a world-class player and a world-class douche-bag, and you can't change that, so just get ready for the ride.
That's not hating on the Cowboys, who I obviously hate, it's just fact.

From Philly Daily News:
Reid it and weep: T.O. to tell his side in book

Well, now we know what Terrell Owens did with all that free time after he was suspended from the Eagles back in November.
According to a press release from Simon & Schuster, T.O. has written a book, which it plans to publish in July. Apparently, "Ineligible Receiver: The Real Story of My Journey from the Super Bowl to the Sidelines" will update the saga of the All-Pro wideout, which has taken some interesting twists since the release of his last book, back in 2004, as he was joining the Eagles.
In "Catch This! Going Deep with the NFL's Sharpest Weapon," being traded to Philadelphia to play with Donovan McNabb was the answer to Owens' prayers, and longtime agent David Joseph was like a member of T.O.'s family.
We'll go out on a limb and say those attitudes won't be reflected in the new book, which Simon & Schuster executive vice president and publisher David Rosenthal heralded as "an important chapter in the long-term struggle for players' rights in the N.F.L."
Senior editor Bob Bender called the book "one of the most candid ever written about professional
football, and perhaps about any professional sport... It is an unflinchingly honest account of life in the NFL."
Let's all hope Oprah keeps a suitable slot open.
It's an appealing notion - the authorial T.O., spending his winter's exile in Lithonia, Ga., tapping away at a keyboard, perhaps wearing a Faulkneresque tweed sport coat and a thoughtful expression as he looks up whether sedition is truly an acceptable synonym for insubordination. But keep in mind that the last time T.O. "wrote" he had a co-author, Stephen Singular, who did the part of it that involved setting words down on paper. Simon & Schuster's press release does not mention Singular or any other co-author in this endeavor; it isn't clear whether there is one. Owens' publicist, Kim Etheredge, could not be reached for comment.
