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 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.

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 ).
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.

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.

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

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. |

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.... ........ 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.
