I'd feel sorry for Porter and Collins because Owens and Moss would be arguing they aren't getting the ball enough.abersonc said:

the Raiders would have to use all their timeouts to seperate the 2 from getting into a fist-fight on the field, and all challenges to see who's getting the ball more, so as to pacify the other, by then telling Collins to throw him the ball more lol

Beyond just the attitude stuff, I'd be hesitant to acquire him because we'd have to meet his salary demands to make him even remotely happy for the first few months. At his age, I don't know how smart it is to make him the highest paid at his position. Though, he doesn't seem to be getting any worse with age. Still, with how wishy washy he is, I'd be afraid we'd lock him down for six or seven years, and he'd want out -- or we'd want him out -- by Year 2.

That's a great graphic map! lol And not only is it the United States. If you check the little globe on the lower right it appears all the world's oceans have also voted no to TO. Guess the world's aquatic life doesn't want to be polluted to TO, either.

Actually, when you check it state by state, the best TO gets is in Wisconsin with 40% favorable. That explains why TO said the Eagles would be better with Favre ... it was a sound bite to bring in the all important Wiconsin votes!
On the other hand, Montana is the most anti-TO with only 22% wanting TO on their team. So TO shouldn't plan on playing there if for some reason New Orleans decides to move to Butte.

this is the same crap everyone said when Moss landed with the Raiders...and they still stunk...they've been better since he got hurt and was de-emphasized in the game plan...hindsight being 20-20, I bet Norv wishes they'd have never traded for Moss
Moss and Owens are the ultimate team cancers, period.

its a shame the way TO carries himself off the field, cause if he was a real professional we could be talking about one of the best WR's to have played the game, instead its a soap opera every week with him. noone can deny his talent on the field though.

Good point! Now that you mention it, I can definitely see T.O. with those comments angling for the Pack this off-season to sign him if he's released or trade for him if he's not.
His options are very limited right now.

TO would have to go to a team that has a weak QB, weak in terms of leadership. He would have been much better off in Baltimore with Boller. McNabb is too much of a leader on and off the field to simply put up with TO’s nonsense. Look at how TO has almost single handedly weakened the Eagles. The guy is a cancer and the Eagles need to excise him.
Could you see TO pulling his shenanigans with Aikman? For as loud and boisterous as Irving was, he had a passion for the game, his team and his teammates. Owens has a passion for TO nothing else. Sadly there will always be teams that will take a chance on him because of his great talent, but unless he gets a personality transplant he will always be more of a distraction off the field than a contributor on the field.
I am not an Eagle fan, since they are in the same conference as my beloved Cowboys, however you have to give props to McNabb and the manner in which he has conducted himself throughout this saga.

I'd rather have TO than Muhsin Muhammad. TO is passionate about the game as well as about himself. He's a damned fine WR, and the character police and media have blown his statements way out of proportion and forced him to defend himself. Yes, he's stupid, but he's right. Philly underpaid for Owens and now it's blowing up in their faces.

OK, so assume TO plays....or he doesn't. What team would take a chance on him now? He has taken an organization that has been reputedly one of the league's best for a number of years and turned it on its head. What coach....what quarterback.....what front office will be willing to bring him on regardless of the contractual language? Under what circumstances would you commit the investment of time necessary to integrate him into your offense knowing that, regardless of whatever success you might achieve with him, eventually he will become unhappy and destroy the unity of the team and the organization?
Just my opinion, but he just may have gone too far regardless of his being one of the top WR's in the game. It could just be he has written himself a death sentence in the NFL. Not even the Raiders can accept that level of risk (and Norv Turner will have none of it I think). I have always thought TO was smart while having a big mouth. With this, I have to conclude he is not at all bright and his ego has overcome his intellect. TO's problems are long term in nature and they repeat themselves.
How is this any different than a player with a major drug (or any other) problem that affects the performance of the team on Sunday? The Cowboys were unwilling to take a chance with Q and their decision has been proven right so far. This seems like the same sort of thing to me.
