T.O. BLAMES MEDIA, AGAIN

A member of PFT Planet advised us a little while ago that there was a battle brewing on WIP in Philly between Howard Eskin and former Eagles receiver Terrell Owens.

Among other things, Owens claims that he wasn't criticizing former coach Bill Parcells when he compared Parcells to his grandmother, and that any suggestion that it was a criticism of Parcells is a result of manipulation by the media.

Owens' reasoning, apparently, is that because he loves his grandmother, then any comparison of Parcells to his grandmother cannot be a criticism.

It was a spirited debate between Eskin and Owens, in which Owens argued that his numbers were lower this year than they would have been because he was being double-teamed and triple-teamed this season. Owens also disputed the notion that he has trouble getting off of the jam at the line of scrimmage.

Owens also said that he fully expects to be with the Cowboys in 2007, and that if for some reason he's not playing for the Cowboys, he'll definitely be with another NFL team.

An article from Pro Football Talk, (the National Inquirer of sports media) about an interview with T.O. on a Philly radio station.

Gee, let me see, .. I wonder what direction that will be slanted towards ?

There is a thread here somewhere that has the link to the interview.

I just say that in case you did not get to hear it yet.

Oh and here comes a shocker, well at least I am sure it will shock you coming from little old me.

TO got the better of Eskins IMO.

i think eskins was speaking out of hate in that interview - T.O. did get the better of him mostly but some of eskins questions were just stupid.

I never got a chance to hear it. And no one really posted a recap of what was in it. So that's why I went ahead and posted this, because at least I got an idea of what was said.

Oh that is cool.

Really was addressing WV.

I know even when there are links to interviews, people just don't have the ability to listen to them because they are at work or other reasons. So i always like the recaps as well.

Owens came out looking a lot better than Eskin did. He had an answer for every "charge" Eskin laid on him whereas Eskin didn't seem to have any solid information to refute anything Owens said.

One of the few times I can ever remember where Owens made the media look bad rather than vice versa.

Why did TO even bother to call in? Why does he care so much that he called in a radio station in Philly for verbal spar? All he did was feed more dong for media to run with, nice job TO, you did it once again.

I meant the PFT article, not the actual interview.

Actually what they said about the interview was not slanted one way or the other.

Owens DID blame the media in the interview. And they recapped some of the other stuff as well.

As far as the actually interview went I was just letting you know there was a link to it somewhere in case you missed it.
