Owens: Jerry Jones broke his word
Terrell Owens said he talked to owner Jerry Jones twice about rumors he was going to get let go. Jones, according to Owens, told him he was fine. But he wasn't. The Cowboys cut Owens after three seasons. "I'd say it hurt," Owens said. "I was very disappointed, especially when you established a lot of trust gained for three years that I was there, and when somebody blatantly tells you you're not going anywhere on two different occasions, and you've established that bond. If you don't have a man's word, and it doesn't stand for anything, there's really nothing left and there's not a whole lot of trust." Owens wouldn't call Jones a liar, but things change all the time in the NFL and he knows that. "I was more than 100-percent confident that I wasn't going anywhere," Owens said. "But it was disappointing. It made me really think about what my grandmother said to me growing up. She told me, 'Never put trust in man. Put you're trust in God', and from that standpoint, that's how it's going to be."

Hey TO - don't let one man change you - remain the naive honest innocent man who we all know and love. If you let JJ destroy your faith in mankind you are giving an awful lot of power to that one man over you. Why give that to him?

A predator like Jones doesn't get where he is without doing the dirty. Lying is all part of his MO.
You can see it in his face.

Years after the surgery, he's actually able to show simple expressions again.
