I have no sympathy for Andy Reid and the Eagles organization.
They knew what they were getting when they brought TO over to Philly.
They just figured that his talent was worth whatever baggage he would bring.
He gave everything he had on the field and went against the advice of his doctors to return from injury and give a performance in the Super Bowl that would have gone down as one of the greatest in the history of the NFL had the Eagles won.
What more could the Eagles have wanted from him?
Instead of rewarding him and making sure he stays there for a long time, they've done nothing but antagonize him. Sure, TO has said some dumb things, especially about McNabb, but the Eagles knew he was gonna do stuff like that. But now they're suspending him and putting the season and future of the franchise in jeopardy just because he calls them on their BS.
I'm not absolving TO of all blame, but the Eagles are not innocent in this. They deserve every bit of this mess.
