Joe Montana had a great answer on Rome's show the other day on how he would have handled TO. 'I would see him open, give him a nod, and then throw to somebody else'.

Doesn't he realize that as a receiver, he has no control over his stats. Only his QB does.

I have the perfect solution!! :D

Thanks for your opinion Jesse, now sit down and shaddup... How exactly does anyone but TO know what is in TO's heart... And Ralph nader weighs in too? What's good ole Ralphie planning on a run for president again and is trying to get his name in the news?

I'm sorry, I can't link to the above at work. Can it be posted along with the link?

I love ya Mal but you leave Ralphie alone.... I voted for him in '00. :p

Honest, I did. It was the first thing that truly attracted my ex wife to me, was the fact I voted for him.

As a Bears fan, I hope that T.O. finds a home with the packers.

Muhahahaha.

Oh please, oh please, oh please! :p

Buncha weirdos I tell ya... weirdos :lol:

But for delightfuly different reasons :lol:

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
< /Vader>

I think the only team dumb enough to take him would be the Raiders but even they are saying "NO" right now. Mind you they don't even have the cap room to accomodate his lavish contract demands.

He's going to Cleveland. They are in dire need of a star and Cleveland fans would love somebody with a big mouth. I realize that I'm just a tiny bit biased because of my affection for another Ohio pro football team, but it really seems logical that this is where he would go.

"But Jackson said Owens' suspension without pay for four games and deactivation for the rest of the season is "much too severe for the charge" and hurts the athlete's NFL career at its height."


that's the point, jackass.

I sure hope you don't have affection towards a certain college ohio football team because they're about to get tore up by the big blue machine.

can I have some of what you're smoking?

That's funny, I thought his mouth was what's hurting his NFL career.

I don't give a damn about the whole state of Michigan, whole state of Michigan, whole state of Mighigan.

I don't give a damn about the whole state of Michigan, I'm from O HI O

In the immortal words of Coach Woody Hayes, "We're going to go up to tthat school up North, and we're going to hit them and knock them on their asses, when they try to get up we're going to keep knocking them on their ass till they realize they are beaten...... that's how you win football games and that's how Ohio State is going to beat that team up North."

God Bless Coach Hayes. :thumbsup:

Coach Hayes is a sucker. I will be gentle and not rub it in when the vest is destroyed by Coach Lloyd.

I will not even expect a "congratulations" from you fools, i know you'll be too heart broken to leave you bed for weeks after the Maize and Blue murderlize you. :D

As a matter of fact, I am. Fuck some Wolverines.

TO is entertaining. And his job is to be an entertainer, so I think he's doing a good job.

Why all the hate?

I'm kinda confused about that too. I can understand it when people jokingly bash Owens as many have done here, but I've also sensed some real hatred of the guy elsewhere and that's a bit disconcerting to me as a sports fan. It is just a game and it's just entertainment.

It would be one thing if he was just talking smack and signing footballs after TDs. That IS entertaining, and is one of the reasons why I love Chad Johnson (despite his present condition of BeingontheBengalsitis :D).

However, Owens has somewhere along the way moved into the realm of believing his own hype. Johnson has a big mouth, but it is well known how hard he works and how well he is liked by both his teammates and opponents. Owens believes he is the only thing that matters, and so everyone should do what he wants.

He whined himself out of San Francisco when he was the one who fucked up his chance. He whined himself out of a trade to Baltimore and into Philadelphia after San Francisco tried to give him what he wanted. He spent a season (mostly) praising McNabb, then almost before he leaves the site of the Super Bowl he is tearing him a new one.

He is a complete asshole in every sense of the word.

Absolutely. I don't care if he screws up his own career, but by badmouthing his QB, coaching staff, the Eagles organization as a whole, and causing divisions in the locker room, he is causing distractions which affect the team performance on the field. McNabb is(was) playing hurt but I don't believe for a second thats the only reason for his worst season ever in Philly. I remember him throwing 3 TDs on a broken ankle a couple years ago. Go screw yourself TO but don't take the team down with you.

One more thing. The guy is a frickin time bomb. God help any team that picks him up. Maybe a team that needs a little more offensive punch to get them into the SB this year, but forget about a long term contract. Sooner or later, without a doubt, he'll explode again. The guy can't keep his mouth shut.

Ohio State 25
Michigan 21


what was that you were saying?

see previous post.

Sorry I goofed see the next one!!
:o :lol: :crazy:

Sion has it on the nut. AMEN Brother!!! and a hearty F You TO as well.

I saw a short list of who might end up with TO next year. It included the Broncos and the Cowboys, my favorite pro teams. I don't think Shanahan or Parcells will put up with his BS. If they sign the A hole they go to the top of my shit list!! (I'm sure bith franchises are scared to death to be in that spot!)

I was saying... at least we got a good game. I sure don't like you buckeyes (or your head coach) but I respect you guys because you always bring it.


Here's to next year.

not liking the Buckeyes I can understand. but how can you not like Jim Tressel? He's only one of the top 5 coaches in the NCAA and an upstanding citizen to boot.

Ahh hah hah hah haaaaa where are the eagles going now NOWHERE, where NOWHERE!!!!
Yeah TO ran his mouth in a completely wrong manner, NEVER and I repeat NEVER diss your team in public. That is your family while the season is going, even if some of what you say, "Cough" a family recognizes big things "Cough", "Cough" QB getting tired in the Super Bowl WTF!!! "Cough". Still the point is that you never diss your team. Now that McNabb is hurt, the Eagles have a better chance of growing wings out of their asses, then of going anywhere this season without TO. Hell even with him, there chances still aren't that good. You have to give credit where credit is due. Yes TO is a (fill in whole list of shitty things), but he is a DAMN good player that brings in BIG plays and even BIGGER numbers.

He's got terrible taste in clothing. :p

so back to TO i feel that hes just mentally unstable, but he is one hell of a reciever. I hope he comes back just to play and this time he just does his business and keeps his mouth shut. Hopefully he learned his lesson and with whatever team he signs with next he can learn from his mistakes, but since this is basically the second time i doubt it, who knows maybe his thrid times the chamr, and if it is hopefully its with the chargers.. brees, lt, gates, mccardell and TO would be ownage to the maximum

I can't imagine the Chargers wanting him. Brees is still a relatively young QB, and I don't think there would be enough footballs to go around on that team if you added TO.

Heh heh, sounds like a diehard fan of one of the many NFC teams the Eagles have thumped repeatedly over the past 4 years.

I used to feel that way about the Cowboys in the 70's :lol:

My fiancee knows who TO is now from the news. I'd be surprised if she knows any top player in the NFL atm. Possibly one or two, but I doubt it.

Why is his actions so outrageous? He grew up a poor trashy black kid without any real goals in a piece of shit town. What kind of behavior do you really expect? A Christ-like figure? He's a solid entertainer and as much of an asshole as everyone says that he is, I'm sure he has still donated more to charities/aiding others than pretty much anyone on this board. Agents, money, and public service reps help make it happen, but he still did it. More than most people can say.

Well, well..... It is nice to see an arbitrator rule for a club, perhaps others will now and some of these "pros" will realize when they sign a contract they also sign away some rights.

Initially, I thought TO was getting the short end of the stick but as details came out I realized he got what he deserved. In fact, I would have suspended him without pay for the rest of the season not just 4 games. As an owner and a team you have to look at situations like this as someone "TO" who does not want to win nor supports the team, then you have to ask why would I pay him these millions for not wanting to be a part of the team and for being a divisive influence that may cause my team to lose, therfore I would lose money, because fan support would go down.

Also, it's well deserved he'll have to go through the waiver wire.... :lol: :lol: :lol: ........ and it says something when the worst team in the league with the first pick says "NO T.O. here"..... just think what a blow to his ego it would be if noone claimed him...... one can only hope.

I wish Boston would have done the same to Manny when he cried during the playoffs that he wanted traded.

Yeah, I think it would be sweet chin music to T.O. if clubs passed on him.

Too much baggage, he's a menace.

Officially Keshawned

On the point of suspending him longer, that is the longest "suspension" allowed.

All I can say is that I am glad his asshole-ness allowed him to flaunt the NFL rules and refuse his trade to Baltimore.

I wish I could get paid to sit home.

TO is still an asshole though.
