APBT Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I think and heard that T.O. may have a legitimate injury and the suspension situation was staged to get him out the contract. By doing this, other players want try to pull the T.O. bit, by embarrassing the team. It keeps order. :censored: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabronijames Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Could you possibly expound on this??? I thought the suspension was staged as a way for the team to not pay up. Is that what you're getting at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 That makes no sense. TO is truly injured, so he acts like an @ss, then the team suspends him, and he doesn't get paid, so TO gets out of the contract so he can sign for far less because he has destroyed his reputation at the age of 33.........

Snake_Pliskan Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Giva APBT a break. He is 100 years old. Typing is an accomplishment. A coherent post might be asking too much at this point in the old fellars life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Remember that he also exists in our minds, so if you criticize him you are really criticizing yourself, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altair4 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I think you heard wrong. Drew Rosenhaus got a hold of TO, and basically convinced him that he (Drew) could get him a better deal. Keep in mind that DR did not negotiate TO's 45 mil contract, so was had NOTHING TO LOSE. The strategy was to have TO foster dis-content, in the hopes that !) the Iggles would re-negotiate, or 2) the Iggles would drop hom. Either way, DR would negotiate the deal, and get his cut in the commission. Well, the Iggles blew up that plan, and if you saw the "Press Conference" with TO and DR, then you know what a joke that was. In the meantime, DR has lost nothing save for future credibility, and TO will be lucky to get half of what he was making before....and will be waivered up the kazoo if he signs with another team. Greed. It's never pretty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greed. It's never pretty... Good theory, and probably correct to an extent. But how does the "legitimate injury" factor into this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altair4 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 That is unsubstantiated rumour at this point. I have heard nothing about him being injured physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, whats a Gixxer? edit: nevermind the Gixxer thing - googled it.
