View Full Version : T.O. Responds to jabs with a Hook at Mcnabb

Why would Owens do something like this??? He is an idiot the main guy who wanted him there and he makes a comment like this.....Well Gee TO you bring it on your self...

Terrell Owens, chagrined by some of the characterizations of him over the past week, denied on Monday night he switched agents to improve his financial status, but was as elusive in discussing his contract as he is in dodging NFL cornerbacks.

The Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver also insisted his goal is to win a Super Bowl title with his current team, but found time to take a not particularly veiled swipe at Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, with the talkative wide receiver noting at one point that he "wasn't the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl."

T.O. says he "did everything" the Eagles asked of him last season, adding he "wasn't the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl."

What Owens apparently has grown weary of, it seems, are what he perceives as portrayals of him being selfish and opportunistic.

"As always, there is a lot being written and [reported] without anyone talking to me," Owens said. "I mean, I can't do right and I can't do wrong. It's getting, in some ways, like it was for me in San Francisco. But the one thing that won't change is that I'm going to show up to play and to win. No one can ever [debate] that."

Whether Owens is seeking a change in his contract -- after just one season under the seven-year, $48.97 million deal he signed with the Eagles as part of a three-team trade that landed him in Philadelphia last spring -- remains unknown. ESPN.com first reported last Tuesday that Owens had retained high-profile agent Drew Rosenhaus, arguably the NFL's top dealmaker, perhaps in an effort to upgrade his contract.

Rosenhaus met briefly last Wednesday in Philadelphia with Eagles team president Joe Banner. Neither man divulged details of their conversation but it should be noted that Rosenhaus typically huddles with team officials when he takes on a new client.

League sources have said that the Eagles will not renegotiate Owens' contract at this time but might, at some point, consider restructuring the deal to redistribute monies due in the next few years. At least under current ownership, Philadelphia has never made dramatic changes to a contract with so many years remaining on it.

On Monday, asked pointedly and repeatedly about his reasons for retaining Rosenhaus, and about his possible designs on a new deal, Owens declined to comment in detail. Rosenhaus also declined comment.

"We'll just have to see what happens," Owens said.

Club officials might have to adopt the same wait-and-see approach when it comes to Owens' attendance at offseason workouts. The nine-year veteran was non-committal when asked about spring and summer practices, at one point questioning the difference between voluntary and mandatory workouts, but was adamant that coach Andy Reid knows exactly what kind of shape Owens will be in for his second season with the team.

"No one can ever accuse me of not being in great shape," said Owens, who is likely to skip offseason sessions and perhaps even the start of training camp. "Andy knows that. My teammates know that, when I show up, I'm ready to go. The biggest concern should be winning a Super Bowl. That's what I show up to do. I've never been out of shape. I mean, this is my [livelihood]."

The five-time Pro Bowl performer acknowledged he was particularly riled by a recent broadcast report that he was late for at least one team meeting in the week preceding Super Bowl XXXIX. He questioned both the motivation and timing of the report and denied its validity. Owens said that, were it true, Reid probably would not have allowed him to play in the championship game.

Eagles officials could not be reached late Monday night to comment on Owens' account of his attendance during Super Bowl week.

For the title matchup, Owens made a comeback some considered miraculous, playing nearly the entire contest only 6½ weeks after sustaining a broken right ankle in a Dec. 19 outing against the Dallas Cowboys. Owens caught nine passes for 122 yards in the Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots.

"There are a lot of people who said that me playing in that game was an inspiration to them," Owens said. "Hey, the only person I was trying to inspire was myself. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. But why did I want to do it? To win a Super Bowl for the team, for the fans, for the city. I did everything they asked me to do. I played every snap they allowed me to play. I wasn't even running until, like, two weeks before the game. But I made sure I was in the best shape possible. I wasn't the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl."

Asked to whom he was referring, Owens laughed, then changed the subject. It has been widely reported that McNabb was either ill or fatigued late in Super Bowl XXXIX. The star quarterback has denied either was the case.

Owens, 31, said his rehabilitation continues, his leg feels "great" and he is "really looking forward" to the 2005 season.

Owens registered 77 receptions for 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns in 14 games before suffering the broken ankle in his first season with the Eagles.

Owens said he remains close with former agent David Joseph, who represented him his entire career, and who helped extricate him from the 49ers. Joseph negotiated the current contract with the Eagles.

The contract included a $10.3 million signing bonus. Over the first three years of the deal, it makes Owens one of the highest paid wide receivers in league history. Owens is scheduled to earn a base salary of $3.25 million for 2005.

Owens said he and Joseph spoke at length about the split and conceded it was painful, and added that he also spoke with Reid to explain his reasons for new representation.

"It's like I told Andy, I wasn't out there looking all over the place for a new agent, but it just happened," Owens said. "It was a business decision, that's all, and it was a decision I felt like I wanted to make. I guess it would be like a couple that's been married for a long time and then, all of a sudden, getting divorced. But me and Dave, we're still very strong friends. Our business [arrangement] has changed, [but] our personal relationship hasn't.

"That's the truth. But I know that, when it comes to me, people are going to believe what they want to believe, you know?"

"Its getting some ways like it was for me in San Fransisco". Gee that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that his attitude and behavior hasn't changed a bit, He is creating the situation, the same one as he did in San Fran. He is the only constant between the two organizations and what is happening now..... if the same thing happens here as it did there, it's got to have something to do with him. But of course its not him, its the media and the rest of the world thats wrong. the more he opens his mouth the deeper a hole he digs for himself. give him enough rope and he'll hang himself.

You guys might not like the guy, but he is a great WR and he tells the truth (Although it might not be good for the TEAM)

McChunky soup is in fact FAT...

When I talked to VT coach Kevin Rogers at the NFL combine here in Indy (Who coached McChunk at "Cuse") He said McChunk was in the 260 LB range...TOO HEAVY!

He said he should lose around 20-25 LBS...

Lets hope this becomes a major rif in Filthadelphia!

with his publicity-seeking ways, I think he's forfeited any right to privacy.

I also think rosenhaus is a complete slimeball.

If he wants a Super Bowl, take a paycut and play for NE. By hiring Drew as his agent, he wants to be traded and get another 10 Million dollar signing bonus...Which would give him 2 bonus's in 2 years...20 million. He doesn't want a Superbowl in the same way that Brady wants them (taking less money than Manning)...

He wants both, when he turns 39 and finds no rings on his fingers, he may wish he took another track.

I'm not sure he would care. Owens is the kind of guy who will look at that bottom line (what's good for me) and if he was able to squeeze a lot of money out his teams, he would be satisfied. Eric Dickerson was never a team player and never took his teams very far. Interviews with him reveal that he feels that he had a "great" career. Selfish players rarely define their success in terms of team accomplishments.

Terrell is one of those people that things are never his fault...he always has to accuse somebody else or ridicule somebody else because it makes him feel like a big man.

When he was in SF it was never his fault; he blamed the coach, his teammates....

So now he's in Philly and he's taking jabs at his QB.

He could have one foot in the HOF and I wouldn't want this chump on the Cowboys. He's just not worth it.

Athletes are never happy. Give me the ball more. Pay me more money. It never ends.

They all feel so slighted though they make more than 99% of the rest of the country.

I wish we could pay every football player a set amount in the league based on their experience. Rookies would make $150,000 with $50,000 a year increases as well as certain bonuses players could attain such as rushing for 1,000 yards, going to the Pro Bowl, winning a Super Bowl, etc.

Of course, that will never happen. After all, some of these guys would scoff at only making 300 G's a year. How can they pay off their Ferrari on that kind of salary?

Jarv
04-12-2005, 09:39 AM
Make the pay based upon team wins and loss's vs. individual stats...Pretty much like the old days. Salary cap would have a player meaning instead of a team meaning. I remember when a Superbowl check meant something to the players...Now its just like pocket change to them.

What if there were no player stats, just team stats....I know, I'm dreaming. But that WAS the game I fell in love with in the early 70's.

Ever wonder how many sacks Decan Jones got ? He probably is the NFL's sack leader, but no one kept track back then...

No one ever claimed that T.O. had a way with words... and if they did they did then they have a very skewed view of reality...

For example:
- if you read the article, T.O. claims that he's upset with the media for mis-representing him and not giving him a chance to explain himself
- he then lashes out at the media by taking a shot at McNabb????? Why McNabb?

Alot of people were questioning last year if the team was becoming T.O.'s team, as opposed to McNabb's team. I think it's becoming clear that McNabb is the leader of that team... McNabb will handle this just like he did the boos on draft day, the calls for AJ Feeley to start, the criticism by Rush, and the NFCCG losses - he'll keep his head up and work hard.

T.O. on the other hand - better clean up his act. His contract was structured so the Eagles could easily cut him after 2 or 3 years if things went downhill. Personally, I think Banner will stick to his guns, T.O. will show up for training camp, and this will all be a footnote. But if it doesn't go that way, it only hurts T.O.

I don't know what you're talking about, for an Eagles fan I've never been a TO fan but there is no tension between him and McNabb. He is all about himself, he's a receiver, that's his job.

You wouldnt get any more then a 2nd rounder at best for Owens. Biggest reason is every GM knows he is a cancer. Proven that with 2 teams now. He is also over 30 and had a serious injury. No tellin if he ever fully recovers.

If the Igglez offered Owens to us for our #20 pick I would pass. Yeah he has great talent but his bein a cancer would hurt the team more then help. Already pointin fingers at McNabb so he will do that stuff with whatever team he goes to. With what he is doin right now with Philly no team would give up a 1st rounder for him.

Listen,

I see things through Eagle glasses; as a fan, that's pretty darn normal -- that's why I overlook some of the unnecessary hype that goes into supported weak media-laced sensationalistic chatter.

You don't get to be a Millionaire athlete by being a fool. You may not like T.O.,
you may resent his post-touchdown antics, his dancing on the "Star;" hell, you may even resent the fact that his latest injury by RW (roy williams) could have been the "straw that broke the camel's back" toward the recent NFLPA to curtail the notorius "horse-collar" tackle (:) ). Whatever beef you have with T.O., you cannot fault him for trying to approve upon himself or trying to take the Eagles to the next level. Because for all practical purposes, his, as well as the overall team, performance was beneficial to taking the Eagles to the Super Bowl.

There's too much controversy over one player that will be right back out there doing some of the same things for the Eagles he did last year (probably a great deal more now that he knows the rhythm of the plays, ECS offense, etc., etc.

Look one more point before I take off my "Eagle-Glasses." T.O. wanted to play for the Eagles because he wanted to take us to the Super Bowl. This is obviously a man who considers all of the options prior to making a decision. What makes you think he would jeopardize his chances of staying on the team that can get his Super Bowl ring? I believe that's what his Next objective is, and it is a doable objective!

I think you guys better concentrate on KeShawn Johnson! You know KeShawn is watching all this money fly right by his eyes and he's got to be processing some thoughts. I may Get in trouble by saying the KeShawn is a T.O. waiting to happen (there...I said it); because that's how I feel about it. I've watched KeShawn and some of the things he says to reporters; hell, he wanted to punch a lady journalist in the face and spank her for making an observation he didn't like. At least T.O. knows how to treat a lady (especially in the lockerroom):D

Eagle Glasses removed

Do your worse (well not your worse:o ), and back up off of my other Eagle fan.

"There are a lot of people who said that me playing in that game was an inspiration to them," Owens said. "Hey, the only person I was trying to inspire was myself. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. But why did I want to do it? To win a Super Bowl for the team, for the fans, for the city. I did everything they asked me to do. I played every snap they allowed me to play. I wasn't even running until, like, two weeks before the game. But I made sure I was in the best shape possible. I wasn't the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl."

Asked to whom he was referring, Owens laughed, then changed the subject. It has been widely reported that McNabb was either ill or fatigued late in Super Bowl XXXIX. The star quarterback has denied either was the case.

What a di**. :rolleyes:

I feel the need to clear up some stuff I see in here

@Nav22 - McNabb never said he was tired. The Eagles never said he was tired. The official word is that Bruschi knocked the ever-lovin piss out of him and he needed about a minute to recuperate. Supposedly, the remainder of the 5 minute fiasco was just the way the Eagles prefered to run the offense. *note: just because it's official doesn't mean I believe it.

2nd - T.O. is a primadonna. He's a GD wide reciever. Terry Glenn had issues with the patriots, Randy Moss is a walking schitzo head-case, me-shaun certainly doesn't hold back, Freddie Mitchell may not have talent but that hasn't stopped him from joining the GD wide reciever club, and even the token "golden-boy" Harrison can't resist the urges of a WR primadonna...

You want the truth from an Eagles fan? That's the truth as I see it.

Listen,

I see things through Eagle glasses; as a fan, that's pretty darn normal -- that's why I overlook some of the unnecessary hype that goes into supported weak media-laced sensationalistic chatter.

You don't get to be a Millionaire athlete by being a fool. You may not like T.O.,
you may resent his post-touchdown antics, his dancing on the "Star;" hell, you may even resent the fact that his latest injury by RW (roy williams) could have been the "straw that broke the camel's back" toward the recent NFLPA to curtail the notorius "horse-collar" tackle (:) ). Whatever beef you have with T.O., you cannot fault him for trying to approve upon himself or trying to take the Eagles to the next level. Because for all practical purposes, his, as well as the overall team, performance was beneficial to taking the Eagles to the Super Bowl.

There's too much controversy over one player that will be right back out there doing some of the same things for the Eagles he did last year (probably a great deal more now that he knows the rhythm of the plays, ECS offense, etc., etc.

Look one more point before I take off my "Eagle-Glasses." T.O. wanted to play for the Eagles because he wanted to take us to the Super Bowl. This is obviously a man who considers all of the options prior to making a decision. What makes you think he would jeopardize his chances of staying on the team that can get his Super Bowl ring? I believe that's what his Next objective is, and it is a doable objective!

I think you guys better concentrate on KeShawn Johnson! You know KeShawn is watching all this money fly right by his eyes and he's got to be processing some thoughts. I may Get in trouble by saying the KeShawn is a T.O. waiting to happen (there...I said it); because that's how I feel about it. I've watched KeShawn and some of the things he says to reporters; hell, he wanted to punch a lady journalist in the face and spank her for making an observation he didn't like. At least T.O. knows how to treat a lady (especially in the lockerroom):D

Eagle Glasses removed

Do your worse (well not your worse:o ), and back up off of my other Eagle fan.

Stupid post. TO got rich because he's a good football player, not because he's smart. He also didn't sign with Philly to "take you to the Superbowl." He signed to take himself to the Superbowl. He's a proven team cancer who puts himself above the team. The quicker you realize that, the quicker you can accept it.

Oh yeah, and who is KeShawn?

I thought he wanted to go to Philly so he could play with Mcnabb. The season B4 a lot was made of those two working out together rather than Mcnabb working out with his receivers.

Either way TO is a cancer and if Talon can't see that he is a true Eagles Fan (blind)

you sound pretty confident in that, perhaps I'm wrong. I do know that the Eagles say he got hit real hard.

McNabb was questioned specifically about the Eagles' last scoring drive, a 13-play, 79-yard odyssey that consumed 3 minutes, 52 seconds of the fourth quarter. It knocked the clock down to just 1:48, leaving little time for the Eagles to get the ball back and tie or win the game.

"Yes, I was tired. But we scored on the drive [a 30-yard pass to Greg Lewis], that's the main thing," McNabb said.

It was NOT a joke and everyone knows it. Why would you throw your teammate/friend out there to the media as TO did to Mc (please biggie size it)Flabb.

So why now do you want to trade him... you said all year that he was "da bomb"... now that "da bomb" is ticking, you want to go on record as saying there is nothing going on and it is fine with you if he is traded...

You FREQUENTLY accuse members here of wearing "Cowboys Glasses"... well you are now wearing "Iggles Glasses"... you can't see the truth for your blind loyalty... and you have switched positions in order to cover your backside in case he is traded...

I am always here to take your confession, my son...

Also, out of the three signings we made in the offseason (Kearse, Owens, Trotter), I think Owens will have less of an affect than the other two in getting us to a Super Bowl.

I'm not his biggest fan, he runs good routes and can get open downfield, but he doesn't have the best hands. He isn't in the same league as Moss.

Huh?

Again how is it a joke. This is real, and you are just being blind while covering your arse.

This reminds me of last season in about August. Remember? Owens insults McNabb's accuracy, big story on ESPN, the Dallas message board ect...

Question: What gives an MVP quarterback like Peyton Manning the edge over a Donovan McNabb? (Oh, by the way, McNabb is Owens' quarterback.)

Answer: Probably accuracy, which is something Donovan can improve on. That's not me putting a knock on Donovan. It's not something nobody else has said. He has probably said there are things about my game that need improvement.

Owens is one of the 5 best WR in the game or WAS. No tellin if he will ever fully recover from his injury. He has been one of the best but I would NEVER want him on the Cowboys. Yeah he has great talent but his bein a cancer and a total head case is much bigger then his talent is. He will always be a cancer.
