March 20, 2006: 3:34 pm: Big Blunders, Helpful Hints

A few tornados, no hurricanes, no earthquakes or ice storms to speak of. Dallas has not been linked to many disasters, but the clock is ticking now that T.O. is in town.

This guy is just a bomb waiting to go off. He’s self-destructive and contagious.

Warning to the Dallas Cowboys’ PR staff: Digg up anything and everything you can on this guy. Here’s a good starting point. Use these events now to draft template news releases:

  • apology to Coach Parcells
  • apology to team
  • apology to fans
  • apology to Metroplex Community
  • apology to sponsors
  • apology to NFL
  • apology to Paul Tagliabue
  • apology to Drew BledsoeWhoever T.O. cons Parcells into signing
  • apology to Hall of Fame
  • apology to Hall of Famer that T.O. disses
  • apology to broadcast teams
  • apology to Jerry Jones
  • apology from Jerry Jones, to all of the above

Warning #2 to the Cowboys’ PR staff: Start prepping your guys to be total Boy Scouts. Anything and everything that goes on in that locker room is fair game once T.O. takes his ball and goes home.

UPDATE: Scott over at Media Orchard says T.O. is spreading his goodness with a ‘cheesy’ rap.

Happy Blogiversary to the Media Orchard, from Dallas’ Idea Grove.

(Sure, the first entry goes back to February of 2005, but that was a backdated item. The Orchard’s first fruit was a year ago today.)

Scott Baradell is a kindred spirit — a former newsie who uses his skills to help others communicate. There’s nothing ignoble about that.
