ccowden 0 #2 November 9, 2005 I am a huge Eagles fan, and I am so glad he is down the road! He is an idiot. Good riddance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #3 November 9, 2005 His antics rememble that of a four year old child. At first the child throws a temper tantrum when he doesn't get his way. But once disciplined by the authority figure, the spoiled child (Owens in this case) tries to say "I'm sorry, I won't do it again". Hogwash I say ... this moron needs to be ignored by all NFL football GMs so that maybe just maybe the message will be seen by other professional athletes that childish behaviour is not welcome in any sport let alone professional sports which costs fans an arm and a leg to attend.

GrendelKhan 0 #5 November 9, 2005 Unfortunatly, because he is so talented some sucker of a GM will pick him up no matter what personal problems he may cause. If he has to go somewhere, bring him to Houston! Let carr throw to him and Johnson, it will be TD heaven. Ohh....wait...the texans still have a Jr High offensive line, Carr still wont get more than .5 seconds to get off a pass. maybe TO wont help........

ReBirth 0 #8 November 9, 2005 Quotebecause he is so talented some sucker of a GM will pick him up no matter what personal problems he may cause. If so, it'll most likely be for a lot less than the 47million he's bitching about in Philly. He put his house up for sale a few weeks ago. I was thinking about bidding on it, but figured if we made a deal he'd just try to back out the next day anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He read an apology a few days back, now this one with his agent nearby. LET ME CLARIFY. He has aplogized more than once for more than one offense.

tsisson 0 #16 November 9, 2005 QuoteUnfortunatly, because he is so talented some sucker of a GM will pick him up no matter what personal problems he may cause. I know, it's completely amazing what some GM's will do to "better" their team. What they don't realize, is that in many cases they alienate their fans. I for one, being a 49er fan, would not want to see him back...EVER. TO could learn some lessons in class himself before calling into question the Eagles organization's lack of "class". He would do well to emulate the great ones like Walter Payton... TO is an embarrassment... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevePhelps 0 #17 November 9, 2005 I'm not defending him, but he did apologize a few days ago on ESPN. Then he mouthed off again and now his most recent apology. Watch PTI -- it was several days of his repeated apologies and verbal bashings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peregrinerose 0 #18 November 9, 2005 Sad part is that he is trying to whine his way back onto the team. I sure hope that they don't cave in and do it. I'm no Eagles fan (I'm a Latrobe girl, Steelers!!), but TO is a disgrace to football in general. Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsisson 0 #19 November 9, 2005 QuoteI'm not defending him, but he did apologize a few days ago on ESPN. He's volatile...period. I for one am so sick of his half assed apologies, driveway workout antics, "I'm TO and I'm the greatest" attitude that I could puke everytime I see him. When compared to hard-nosed/hard-working football players who have excelled at his position like Jerry Rice, he's a joke. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone think he won't be in silver and black next year? He'll fit right in. With him and Randy Moss in the same lineup, opposing defenses (and the Oakland police dept.) will have their hands full. Blues, Dave He will NOT be a member of my beloved Raiders next year. Al Davis had the opportunity to trade Jerry Porter for Owens last summer and did not. "Raider Renegades" are a tradition - taking the rejects and making them great, i.e., Plunkett, Alzado, Hendricks, Matuszak) but each of these guys were grizzled veterans and team players. Al Davis does not want an Owens-type character in the locker room. He found out over the last couple of years what locker room discord can do. As an aside, I cannot see many owners actually looking to trade for Owens. Look at what they get if they trade. By trading, they get the player and his contract - the same contract that Owens was bitching about in the first place. Only teams like Houston or Arizona that are not competitive and want to bring in a flash player to put people in the stands will take him. The NFL punishment used to be to either send a disgruntled player to a losing team (i.e. the 70's Saints) or send them someplace cold (like Minnesota) - or get the best of both worlds by sending them to Green Bay or Detroit. It's a little different now. Some of the cold places have stadiums or quality franchises. Yesterday, Owens realized that he was not more valuable than the team. He never thought that the Eagles would actually sit him. Reality check. Now he's sorry. He should have said all of those things last week and to the team - not in front of the cameras. Then he would have to back it up with actions. Owens's actions yesterday were too late and too public. Last point - I liked how Owens laughed when Rosenhaus was asked what he did for Owens besides get him kicked off the team. My belief is that Rosenhaus was actually shrewder than I initially thought. Rosenhaus became the heavy and his control and antics actually took a lot of the negative commentary and pointed it toward him. Owens actually had someone who appeared to be more of an asshole than Owens was. This can only help him. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
