AtomicCEO Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 That is about the most amazing sentence I have ever seen. 926978[/snapback] That is comedy. Is that all he's asking for? And if that's all he wants... what kind of tactic is publicly insulting your coach and teammate in national prime time coverage? Owens needs a hug.

Chavez Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 One thing I've noticed about who TO tends to butt heads with: Steve Marriucci - definitely known around the league as a nice guy; actually, the biggest criticism of him is that he's TOO nice Jeff Garcia - don't know that awful much about him, but he seems to be a quiet, humble sort who doesn't cause any trouble with anyone Ozzie Newsome - this guy has been pure class since his playing days, and is MUCH respected around the league as a GM Donovan McNabb - I don't think I've EVER heard anything bad about the guy ever, even going back to college Andy Reid - players seem to like playing for him - with one notable exception TO is a screamin' donkey. If the Eagles pay to have him sit on the shelf for a couple, 3 years, I'll gladly kick money into the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dread Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Any truth to the story that TO was at the Falcons pre-season game? If true I'm sure it's really helping rally his team to his side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTen Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Any team that takes a chance on T.O. is in trouble IMHO. What if T.O. gets the type of contact he wants and then SIGNS it. Then he goes on to have a better season then last. Does he then go and renegotiate again? This will never end. I just hope that he finds some way to scrape up enough change so his family can eat this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me sit home and pay me for my measly amount of yearly salary...heck with incentives....pay me for the next 3 years and not work...especially in the millions....you're kidding or ignorant if you think that is the way to handle it...put him on the trading block...CHEAP!!! Let someone have him for a 2nd or 3rd rounder in next draft...or a vet WR....he is cancerous and to be in the Super Bowl hunt and to have this cancer eating away internally all season is STUPID!! Gotta be something in his contract to be able to suspend him and not pay him for at least a week...in that week entertain all offers and rid yourself of this sniffling *** clown....the biggest snub would be to release him, unconditional, him signing he gets nothing after this year(only way you release him)....then the message can be sent----NOT ONE NFL TEAM PICK HIM UP!!!! NONE!! When all teams pass on him...his days as a player will be over and that will speak louder than words...only problem.....SOME DUMB*** team will try to pick him up...what a d@mn shame......but probably true...whatever happened to blackballing a player...?

Bill Swerski Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 And this is the brightest spot of the whole business.

T.O. 927908[/snapback] I do not understand your point. Why would any business man (owner) pay more money for something that produced nothing? T.O. can have his large cup of SHUT THE F@CK UP and like it. Do not pay him a dime, let him rot at home. I do not hear any other teams contacting Philly about trading for him. Doesn't that tell you something? If he gets the money he wants, what will stop him from doing this every year if he gets his way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 i'm pretty sure TO's next contract is gonna pay him less than the current one. and if the current one is "below market", it's because the fact that he's a cancerous little girl dog was taken into consideration. who the f*ck do he and drew think are gonna step up and offer them $7 million a year or whatever they think he's supposed to be getting? ironically though, since rosenhaus is smart enough to know all this, we may end up seeing a complete 180 in TO's behaviour once he comes back to camp. he may yet end up being a viable fantasy option this year.

Whipdancer Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I don't think TO will be "TO" this year even if he plays. He can't carry the team and if the rest of the team won't support him, how good will he be? As for sitting him - I think it will eat him up. He would hate it. The reason he want's more money is because it's an EGO thing. Getting more money will validate his own opinion of himself. He performs on the field for himself. He wants the glory. So if they sit him, he won't be on TV, getting the coverage, being able to show-off - which is what he really wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stimer Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 do you think that teaches Rosenhaus or Owens anything?927908[/snapback] Not sure if it's true but I read somewhere that the agents only get their commission when the player signs. Since I do not believe Rosenblouse was his agent when he signed with Philly, he should not be getting anything from the current contract with TO. Also, if TO does something "detrimental" to the team they can take back bonus $ ... why not let him sit and whine and then take back $. IMO I think it would be great if they would demote him to the practice squad and let Douglas take a few shots at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) From kffl.com: Eagles Send Owens Letter about Behavior/Attitude ESPN's Sal Palantonio reports the Philadelphia Eagles have sent WR Terrell Owens a letter outlining what they perceive is a series of behavioral problems over the past two weeks. Owens acknowledged the letter during a conversation with ESPN's Michael Irvin. A source characterized the letter as the beginning of a process to suspend Owens if behavior does not change after he meets with head coach Andy Reid. Owens is expected to rejoin the Eagles Wednesday, Aug. 17, but Reid has said he only would allow Owens back on the field if he sees a marked change in his attitude and behavior.
