dfitzo53 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Originally posted by Westbrook36 TO is taking a serious chance right now. The Eagles wrote it in his contract that if he sat out minicamp or training camp, the Eagles could take back 1.8 million of his signing bonus as well as fine him like 10k a day. If the Eagles go this route, it could get very ugly. TO is complaining about being underpaid......imagine if the Eagles take back some of the money he already has. Gulp. Smart move by the Eagles.

Westbrook36 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Originally posted by richard saunders Your right, they can take back that 1.8 You guys need to get this fixed, quick. What's up with WB? He's he pissed about something too? WB and even his agent have been very friendly towards the Eagles, via the media. They must have seen first hand how the fans react to things like this. Thing is, WB sees a guy like Lamont Jordan get top 10 RB money and he wants a piece of the pie. Problem is, the Eagles don't see him as an every down back. Nothing against him, but the Eagles figured out a few years ago that if you share the rock amongst 2-3 talented backs, none of them wind up having great stats and you can lowball all of them. WB still hasn't shown he can last a full year as well. I think the Moats pick up is dangerous. I can already see them two as well as Buckhalter being the new three headed monster. Shoot, I'm getting goosebumps thinking of Moats and WB on the field at the same time, but I digress. WB will probably wind up with about 800 rushing yards again with his normal 10-12 tds and we'll see if another team wants to pay him huge money. I sure hope not. He is one of the true playmakers in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjKam1 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I'm glad T.O. is injecting his poision into that team. Mcnabb is a player I respect but TO is the posterboy for that franchise, players and fans (most of them). He he he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This entire thread is filled with hypocrisy at its finest. Taylor is a cancer who doesn't care the least about the word "Team" sound familiar? Moss fresh off a trade, and new start, refuses to report to his new team without a new contract. Your linebacker who's called the organization everything except good, is spouting off again. And your here laughing at Philly? Your organization is still used as an example of what not to do. I'd be more worried about what's going on in my own house before I start critiquing another's.

Hooper Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 It's hard to admit, but Excel isn't wrong. We should get our own house in order -- and I don't know, maybe at least sniff the playoffs -- before we start laughing at the Eagles problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nneece Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Originally posted by Fred Jones It is nice see, but it doesn't really mean much. Philly hasn't self-destructed yet and has proven year after year that their off-field troubles don't equate to on-the-field loses. Nothing will matter until they start to lose. Same with our situation. Nothing will matter until we start to win. Yeah, but they haven't had to deal with TO yet. TO will do them in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 We can bash them at their number of SB trophie all we want, but the problem that remains here is our last one is more and more becoming a distant memory and after so many years we can't live on past glory. We need to create our own and until we can put together a few solid seasons I'm not going to trash anyone else's history, players, FO or off the field problems.

We need to create our own and until we can put together a few solid seasons I'm not going to trash anyone else's history, players, FO or off the field problems. Quite frankly I understand your position. But I have pride in this franchise. I have pride in this division. The Redskins and Cowboys alone have won more SB's than any other entire division in the league. Our division has been in close to 50% of all SB's. I find that to be something to have pride in. As many division titles as the Eagles win lately, they still have to go home and see that they are still far behind the rest of the division when it comes to glory. Yes, we have had a hard go recently. But as what goes up must come down, you can't stay on the bottom forever. Our time will come again. And thanks to the glory of the past, I can wait until our time comes because I know how sweet it is. I don't say ZERO to Eagles fans to say what we have accomplished. But to prove that even though they have put together a very impressive run, they have done nothing to bring further glory to this division or their very own city. At the end of the day the only thing that counts is made by Tiffany and brings glory to your city/team/franchise/fan base forever.

What do teams play for? Do you really care that the Eagles have been winning the divisions lately? I would love to be winning the division, but frankly it would still be somewhat empty. I want to win a SB. Thankfully, we already know what that feels like or we would be ready to jump off a cliff right now. I don't get arrogant when we win, and yet we have 3 SB trophies to remember. Why should we let Eagles fans get arrogant when they win considering they are still playing catch up to rest of the best division in football?

I am pretty sure that he said he would be back for training camp, and unlike T.O., he actually does have an understandable contract situation. And ultimately, he isn't b*tching about his teammates and thinking he is better than the team itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
