TheSkaven;1768609 said:No, I don't think so. He only played there for one year. Terry wants to get back on the field to get a ring, to take part in all the scoring fun, and just maybe get a shot to knock off his real nemesis, the Patriots, in the Superbowl. :starspin
marchetta;1768697 said:True, but didn't he receive a SB ring from the 1st Patsy's SB win?

That is, the Cowboys.Glenn never got a Super Bowl ring with the 2001 Patriots. He caught 14 passes, including a touchdown, in the four games he played between two suspensions, grievances and a salary dispute. The league suspended him for the first four games of that season for missing a drug test, and the Patriots stopped paying installments on his signing bonus.
When coach Bill Belichick suspended him for the rest of the season for conduct detrimental to the team, the suspension was overturned by an arbitrator.
When he missed more team meetings and practices, Glenn was suspended for New England's postseason run.
He threatened a federal lawsuit in a bid to recoup his signing bonus until all grievances were dropped when Glenn was traded to the Packers in March 2002 for a pair of fourth-round picks.
"I didn't even bother with the Super Bowl ring," Glenn says. "Although I played in games for them, I want to play in that Super Bowl-winning game for my team.
"I don't want to just be on the team and say, 'Hey, give me a ring.' No, I want to win and actually earn one here with this team."

2. You don't know what I've said about TO so stop talking making assumptions.
3. It's bit childish thinking when you have say I'm number one so I want all the attention. You show it on the field, run the precise routes and make plays then balls will come to you, more times than not.
No one player is above the team and this is a team sport. A great team player always put the team above him, we don't need a selfish player.
BHendri5;1768748 said:You can say he brought it on himself, just like Irvin, just like Moss, just like Rice early in his career and every other superstar WR. You have to be selfish, you have to have an attitude, and want the ball in your hands all the time.
I applaud, T.O. for his actions when he was with the 9ers. He was tired of guys coming to just collect a check, the were bad. His very first tirade with the 9ers, he said those exact things. They had just gotten blown out by the I cannot remember what team it was, right now, but the media , espn especially was with him, they applauded his competitiveness, and drive to win.
I'll admit that he took it to far by continuing to go off every week in that 2-14 season, but he did not tear that team down it was already down, LOL.
Just like you said no one man is above the team, well no one man can tear apart a team.
In philly, I agreed with him. His contract was 48 mil, but the way it was structured had him getting paid less than receivers that were #3 on their team's depth chart.
AS people now know McNabb was jealous, that being heard from players and media in philly. Plus, philly is notorius for being cheap. After what he helped them to the SB, and to come back and have the game he had in that game.
Yeah, we do need selfish players. Those players are the ones that drive the team to higher heights.
Selfish players can and are team players, Irvin, Emmitt, Rice, just to name a few.
Wide receiver Terry Glenn is still rehabbing knee after his Sept. 13 arthroscopic surgery to remove loose cartilage, and there does not seem to be a timetable for him returning to practice. With the Cowboys playing three games in 12 days, Glenn would have no chance of returning before the Dec. 9 game at Detroit, if that.
