    The Cowboys have won 1 playoff game in 14 years and they're talking about "Lets see how he acts when he wins a few playoff games." What?

    Miles Austin is all about business just like Andre. That's why he's dating Kim Kardashian.

    Celebrating in the endzone makes him a diva? He just scored a game tying touchdown on 4th down.... everyone would celebrate in that situation. Wat makes him an antidiva is he didnt talk **** about it a postgame conference

    Only Cowboys fans say that. Go visit Cowboys-Forum.com and get ready for a good laugh. They tried to run me out of that place for saying Miles Austin is not better than AJ. And I "disrespected" Miles Austin because I didn't put him in my top five (AJ, Fitz, Moss, Calvin Johnson, Marshall, and Wayne are better, in my opinion).

    Your opinion is more of a fact. I'd put him top 15, top 10 tops.

    Miles austin has wat 1 season with good stats? where as these other recievers have multiple seasons with great stats. Maybe he WILL be a top 5 reciever in the future but right now hes probably top 10-top 15

    Remember when he put the beat down on the douche, cortland finnegan.
    That was the only time I've seen Andre like that. A great moment that was.

    amazing how people can see something that's not there.

    "turned to the defender" :confused: Andre never looked at the guy.

    They did have a point on the contract extension deal. If that had been a Cowboys player he would have been roasted.

    not necessarily. And he took plenty of flack for the extension. Then reason why it didnt make a bigger stink was that AJ didnt drag it out and still attended camp, save one day. Plus, what he was requesting wasnt completely unreasonable.

    He didn't drag it out because the Texans worked with him. Everyone in the media was reporting consistently that McNair was willing to redo the deal. He ended up getting the highest contract in the sport right? (2nd?)

    Had the Texans said "um, no, we aren't going to give you a new contract" Andre would likely have held out. Other players have been in far less unreasonable situations than Andre and demanded new contracts. When their teams have held the line with them and they held out they've been bashed by fans.

    I don't consider holding out on training camp diva-ish. Its just a negotiation tactic. Even if he held out on training camp, he would have most likely been back for preseason and would definitely be back for the regular season. Heck, he didn't even wait for a deal to be done to go back to OTA's, just a promise to talk it over.

    He wanted to be paid how much he felt he was worth, and handled it about as well as someone in that position could. Not exactly diva behavior. It's not like he bashed the team or wrote stuff on his shoes.

    Yeah and half of these guys complaining aren't about to be 30, can get another contract and are not a possible future hall of famer. I know one thing. I wouldn't want to be michael jenkins or terence newman come sunday.
