I about died when TO made that statement and thought what the hell are you feeding them. I never complain about what athletes or entertainers make but when they start comparing themselves to the working class Joe that just hacks me off.

Me thinks the Iggs are in trouble when everyone puts 8 in the box.

If the Fecals don't cut TO, he'll be on the field for games to cause more drama, you can bet on that. This is his stage and I think he thrives on this type of thing. The cancer is in full swing.

No doubt we all saw what took place in SF when TO was upset. He started getting into it with Garcia and throwing fits on the sideline. Too bad another example of million dollar talent with a 10 cent head.

The Eagles have nothing to gain by cutting him. They are in the position of strength(at least somewhat). They keep him and fine him every day he is not with the team. They may try to trade him, too. They will get something out of this, but they won't just let him go.

I would do it for half that.

He and his agent have plowed the field for this to happen. Sooner or later someone was going to lose his patience. Hope there is no reason for a grievance. Hopefully the Eagles will now get a trade. Too bad TO has still got at least one or two more of these plays before he's finished.

And don't think he is stupid. Everytime he hits the market he is going to get a huge upfront bonus. That's money in the bank right then rather than down the road. Always better. He and his agent aren't stupid if his plan is to play another three to four years and then retire or suddenly be a good mature boy who settles down. He'll make more money this way and that just plan chaps my arse. Too bad he won't be blackballed but he's just too valuable.

Fortunately for us his odds of not playing for the Eagles just went up. Still can't rule him out.

Eagles could file a grievance with the league office to get a portion of that signing bonus money back

I am not sure there are a lot of teams that will take the risk that you take with him - One of those teams already has MOss and they won't be asking for TO too - would they?

Owens at the cafeteria: "Hey, who ate my brownie?"

Andy Reid sheepishly slips out of the room with brownie crumbs on his mustache.

Owens: "That's it. I'm outta here."

I think whats more likely is Owens saw McNabb cheating on him with another player

From local radio and TV reports. While he is definitely headed back to Atlanta, speculation is that he may have gotten into an argument with Reid.

and I honestly couldnt be happier for them

True, should have worded it 'get rid of' instead of 'cut'. Same principle though.

from NFL.com

Wide receiver Terrell Owens made an appearance towards the end of practice, working on a separate field with assistant athletic trainer Chris Peduzzi. Owens ran some patterns with Peduzzi throwing him passes. Owens also caught passes from the JUGS machine.

The Eagles will evaluate his progress over the next couple of days before making any conclusive decisions.

funny how Phoenix Talon hasn't been heard from yet..............

Mike 1967 · Aug 10, 2005

I'm just surprised that it took this long for the situation to implode. The guy really surprised me by his limited antics last season.

I'm really going to enjoy it when TO's ability begins to fade due to old age. This guy is not going to fade quietly into the sunset. And it is going to be fun watching him squirm, kick and cry when the opportunities and the money dries up.

The guy is an attention ***** and nobody will want anything to do with him once his talent dries up. I almost pity the jerk....almost.
