Cowboys Release Keyshawn, in Hunt for TO?

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. When someone says class act, Keyshawn Johnson doesn't exactly come to mind very quickly.

the thing man is that I don't judge him from his time in NY or in TB I judge him for what he has done in Dallas

like it or not, his time in NY & TB has a lot to do w/his time in Dallas. In fact, if it weren't for TB telling him to stay home for the rest of 03, he wouldn't have landed in dallas the way he did.
As I said before, he's acted better in Dallas, but that's all relative to how he was before when his own team found it better to suspend him w/pay rather than have even in the locker room.
Yes, Keyshawn has played for Dallas w/a lot of heart & is willing to lay it on the line for his team. The really sad part of that is that its his past actions (& maybe his present actions from what I'm learning on this thread) that make him look relatively well behaved now. Again, don't blame the media, Keyshawn has been more than willing to run his mouth about people.
As far as him giving td balls to fans, don't be sold by such media savvy. I'm not saying KJ isn't sincere, in fact I know he's done some real estate redevelopment in rough parts of LA w/good intentions, but think about it, giving a ball away at a game in no way discounts all the negative behavior he's displayed over the years.
I'll agree w/mattyk, class act does not come to mind w/keyshawn.

i think some players tend to mature, while others don't. compare keyshawn to iverson- both were really immature when they came into their respective leagues and stayed that way for a while. iverson didn't really get along with larry brown, but he has since learned a lot from the former coach (he still calls him the best coach he's ever had). AI has turned into a player that has put winning at the top of his priority list... the argument as to why the sixers aren't successful is a whole other topic.

Granted, KJ took a long time to finally show some maturity, but he finally did it in big D. I think he's highly underrated for his ability to make tough catches underneath (for first downs) and his blocking ability (which Guy mentioned above)... his past will haunt him, but at least he's trying to rectify it somewhat.
