just skins baby Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I'm just glad Andy Reid and the Eagles organization had the stones to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Eagles will probably be roundly applauded for this. THis is the same thing that we did with Coles with the exception that we got Moss in return and it all took place in the offseason so the distraction was minimalized and the team had time to come together. While we were criticized heartily for doing this at a time where it was optimal the Eagles will be lauded. Coles was more of an internal distraction and not quite as intolerable, but essentially it was the same story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark911 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 There's alot of T.O bashing going on....Don't get me wrong, the dude has some serious issues. You shouldn't throw your teammates under the bus, even if it is true. At least wait until you're on a different team to do it. The dude does cause problems whereever he goes, but look at some of the things he's said, he's absolutely right... "I feel like with [Favre] being knowledgeable about the quarterback position, I feel like we'd probably be in a better situation [than the Eagles are with Donovan McNabb at QB.]" McNabb is a choke artist. He choked in the Super Bowl, He choked on the last play last night. He's 15/16 of the way to an AMAZING player, he just can't finish. "I'm smart enough to know when I've done something wrong, but I don't understand this. Guys are beating their wives, getting DUIs and doing drugs, and I get national attention for a Sharpie? People are personally attacking me, calling me a classless a------ because I did something creative during a game." Along with the freakout about Randy Moss faking a moon to the Fedex crowd a couple years ago, this has to be one of the biggest overreactions in the last few years. "The criticism that hurt me most is that I'm dishonoring the game, have no class, no respect. Who is Dennis Green to say that, when he couldn't control Randy Moss? I'm disrespecting the game? I'm not the one with the rap sheet. I've never taken a play off or not blocked. I guess walking off the ball and not blocking anyone like Randy is respecting the game, huh?" Word "How can you justify hating me after I worked so hard rehabilitating from a broken leg to get back to the Super Bowl to help our team try to win? Really, you've got to look at who the villain really is in this thing." You gotta give it to the guy, sleeping in his Michael Jackson tent or whatever he used worked. He broke his ?ankle?, then a few weeks later came back to not only play, but excel in the Super Bowl. He held up his part, some others on the team didn't. I'm not trying to say TO is justified, he's got issues, big ones. But the dude produces! He's big, he's physical, an amazing athlete and he catches the ball and he runs the ball like few others. He also says what's on his mind, whatever that may be and it gets him in trouble. I don't want to see TO in DC. But i would like to see TO back in the league somewhere next season. Even though it's a slim possiblity, he and Moss on the same team would be quite a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsofwashington Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 That is great news. A star wide receiver on a rival team is out for the season and will not return. The Eagles are having problems running the ball, and now throwing is a major problem with McNabbs injuries and TO out of Philly. There is something so satisfying about that move. What boggles my mind is how immature TO is. The way he justifyis his action are completely childish. 'But, but, but Banner called me an idiot on the radio. What about that?'

SonnyRules Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 ...my :2cents: I not all that sure if ANY NFL team will give Owens a shot....they saw what Jeff George could do to teams and his career was over even though he still could play. T.O. is very similar in that regard; perhaps he's done....who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Total nut job. Good riddance to bad rubbish. For once, I can applaud Andy Reid and the Fecals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Look for Terrell and Keyshawn in Dallas by late December. :doh: I think the plan is to suspend him for the four games, and then de-activate him for the remaining 4 games. I don't think they are going to cut him, so there is no way he'd be playing for Dallas in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbill Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I sure wish the entire thing would put itself to rest. It's downright ridiculous the way the media is covering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 No way Parcells would take that numbskull on. It would serve him right to be blackballed by everyteam in the NFL. Let him go play in the Arena league or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSKNfaithfull Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Mort is hinting that we are interseted :doh: I wouldn't mind a 1 year deal with a short leash telling him he gets to play philly twice. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a redskins uni on the DAllas star after a touchdown either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Nah. I was just on Washington Post's website and did that grading poll. Over 91% of fans with over 4000 answering say they don't want TO in Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Please. The Skins are not interested and shouldn't be -- unless, you know, Snyder gets something in the contract that says TO must wear a muzzle at all times. This guy has played himself out of so much damn money -- come next year, he'll be wishing he had his Philly deal. I mean, think about it: even before all this crap happened, only Philly and Baltimore wanted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyfar Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 So does this mean when he goes to the Hall of Fame, he won't be going in as an Eagle?Actually, who would he go in as? If he goes in, I'll be a little upset because if he's in and Art Monk isn't, I'll be more than a little pissed. If he does make it it, I can see the bust having a Bibb and a pacifier in his mouth. He would not not want to be remembered as being a part of any team. He'll go in as himself.....a big ole baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmania123 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Many of these "star" players like a Keyshawn and TO signify all that is bad with this league. It is great that the Buc's took a stand with Keyshawn and now the Eagles are taking a stand with TO. I do believe TO will play again, but he will need a tough coach, like a Bill Parcells or similar, so that he both respects the organization he works with and thrives on the field. The Philadelphia organization took too much for too long. It should mandated in any contract he signs with any team in the future, that informal statements to the media that are deemed detrimental to team morale will be met with immediate suspension from that team. He will get another shot, but it will be his last I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I wonder how big the bonfire of Owens jerseys there will be at the next Philly home game........damn he robbed them almost as bad as Coles robbed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 one less headcase drama queen around the league now They can kick him out of Philly, but if you think there isn't one single coach out there who thinks that his talent is worth putting up with his head, . . .

Doctor ToughLove Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Look for Terrell and Keyshawn in Dallas by late December. :doh: I'd love Terrell Owens to go to Dallas. Can you imagine Keyshawn Johnson & Terrell Owens duking it out on the side lines? With Bill Parcells trying to break it up. Maybe they could do it on "the star".
