Whoda thunk that now the typical Eagle fan wants Reid and McNabb gone and would welcome Owens back with open arms.
McNabb's problem is that his ego overrides everything else. People seem to remember Owens throwing him under the bus but in reality McNabb lobbed the first volley. It's an unwritten rule that NFL players stay out of contract squabbles between their club and a teammate. McNabb broke that rule and lost a lot of respect in the locker room. If you recall more players have come out on Owens' side than on McNabb's.
McNabb did it because Owens was starting to supplant him as the number one favorite in Philadelphia sports and his ego couldn't take that. If McNabb wouldn't have gotten involved, Lurie isn't forced to make a one or the other choice and would have eventually paid Owens. Owens is still in Philadelphia and McNabb's still winning games and putting up numbers.
