Aluadan Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Ok, I really don't want to post an unconfirmed rumor but TO's site is getting hammered and at the moment is not up. Apprently he thought he was headed to the Eagles and that was where he wanted to go but the Ravens stepped up and made a better offer and made the trade with the 49er's in the end. TO 'may' try to file a grievance with the league over this trade. What does it mean, who knows, will TO hold out or is this just him throwing a fit again. Hopefully there will be more on this tomorrow. Btw, both the Eagles and Ravens boards are talking about this non stop and here is one quote that was taking from TO's site. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- straight from his website "I'M A RAVEN 4 NOW, BUT NT 4 LONG!" - T.O. Fine. We'll take our draft pick back, get a stud WR and/or get Darrell Jackson. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 What a punk. ****ed and moaned to get out of San Fran, then starts to ***** and moan before he ever gets to his new team.

Sanders 83 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 IF this is true, it won't suprise me. He needs to shut his mouth, his agent screwed up, and he should be made at him. The 49ers had him under contract, and he certainly has not earned the right to decide where he should go. Had his agent done his job, maybe he would have had that opportunity. I am not a big fan of Billick, but I will feel sorry for him if TO backstabs him before he even gets on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJCrash34 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 All i have to say is thank god he isn't with the Eagles. As much of an *** as he is I'll sleep much better knowing he's in the AFC. God bless the Ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WM_Marylander Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I'm not sure I'd want the Rainbows from Boller, especially considering Jamal's gonna probably be wearing Orange this season. And Ray Lewis would scare me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TO's a ***** and we'll ship his @ss off somewhere else or like someone said give us the pick back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakehunter Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/football/nfl/8110585.htm Well, I was fortunate to be on TO's board. He went as far to call a member of the management in SF a "snake in the grass." He also said him and the players union are going to be fighting that the paper work was in on time (for him to be an FA), and that he can't wait to play with Kearse in green & silver next season. Sorry this is my first post, but I'm not a trash-talker... This is the first time I can contribute to the board. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even tho I am Ravens fan, I would be upset too. But I mean they owned the rights. A team has a right to do that. But doesnt he have to OK the trade? Guess not. This has been one weird offseason. Can it get any weirder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskns21 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 That would be a smart move for your FO. If, in fact, a grievance is not filed and/or not successful you will come out on either side of this better than you were before. If I were you, I'd certainly want TO over Philly's first rounder though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were you, I'd certainly want TO over Philly's first rounder though. I agree, he would be better but then again Reggie Williams (if we do infact grab him) could be like TO without the attitude problems. He's 6'3 1/2 229lbs and 21 or 22, not 30. But I mean if he's gonna be this way and not want to be with us, there's really no point in keeping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I met Reggie in a Target. Sang the Michigan fight song "Hail to the Victors" to him and Charles Frederick. But he was real cool about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskns21 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 True, his attitude can be a problem. I would still rather have a proven bonafide star rather than a prospect. Not only that, but I think that you have just the type of team leaders that would keep him in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember watching Michigan play Washington in his 1st game as a freshman. Didnt they beat Michigan? Thats prolly why he was cool about it.

Yeah, I agree, I'd rather have someone proven. There's no doubt we have the leaders to keep him check. But if he doesnt want to be there, why should we want him? We'll ship him off to Philly for a 1st and 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowghost Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 He just needs an attitude adjustment. Lock him in a room with Ray Lewis and then everything will be fine. Stay away from Philly T.O.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
