Jay Glazer said that if the Eagles feel that they do a good enough job tonight, TO might very well be deactivated, or put more amusingly, "Keyshawned".

I also heard on FOX pregame that he missed a meeting or something.
So there is more to it than just the ESPN interview it appears.
My defense was on what I knew.
Knowing the newer info, if he challenged the locker room and Donovan (your team QB and general) then his ass should be gone because that is to divisive for the lockerroom. Surprised noone took him up on it.
But again, if he's just an ass so what. I can tell there are some TO haters here, and I'm, not a fan but the man can play and make huge plays.
As for the plays being about him....... let's see, Albert Belle, Barry Bonds, Corey Dillon and so on. Point is TO is not the only, nor is he the worst of the "me first" players, it's unfortunately part of the "Big money" business and players attitudes now. Or Manny demanding a trade DURING the playoffs wasn't disruptive? There will always be disruptive players with awesome talent and unfortunately in today's world of sports if you want to win.... ya have to dance with the devil.
You want the attitudes to change pay the guys less guarantee and more on performance incentives. Until you do, there will be TO's on every team and my guess is, there will be far more TO's (maybe not as vocal or public) than there will be Omar Vizquels, JRs, Jordans, Pippens, and so on.
