TO & Rosenhaus Press Conference

[Portland Fanatic]

Did anyone catch Sean Salisbury last night...his comments on TO? How he was a cancer...an embarasment to the league..he went on and on for about a minute....big time hate on TO.

It was awesome...I feel exactly the same way!

 

[SA_Gunslinger]

don't know if you guys caught wind of this or not, but last night there was pizza delivered to his house (he did not answer the door) and the delivery guy left the $5 tip on the porch and told reporters who were there that "he needs it to help his family eat."


classic.

TO is "me-first". Believe it or not, that isn't the end of the world. A lot of great players are. He's also a distraction sometimes, but again, a lot of guys are - sometimes unknowingly.

I happen to think that while TO has done a lot of things wrong in this situation, he isn't alone. The Eagles have messed this up too. In fact, I actually think that TO considers himself a martyr right now. He thinks he's changing football and its unfair treatment of players. You may disagree. I just think that is what he believes.

even al capone considered himself a martyr when put in jail. after all he did help a lot of needy people in chicago. nevermind he was a cold blodded gangster.

Agreeing with Sean Salisbury on issues is akin to senility...

I HATE it when that happens...

T.O. is a CANCER. Any team that takes him on is asking for trouble. He leaves a team in disarray. If the Boys signed him I would be extremely upset. Bill Parcells is building a first class organization with quality people. We do not need to add someone like Terrell Owens that will destroy the foundation.

 

[joseephuss]

I was on another website earlier and they had a poll going:
If T.O. career would end in disgrace or the Hall Of Fame.

That to me is complete idiocy. Anyone that thinks that Owens career would end in disgrace is a complete idiot, no if ands or buts. The guy is too good, and he has covered too much ground in the NFL.

Anyone that thinks that T.O., will not get picked up by another team next season they are being assinine.

The guy can be the one element that puts your team into the SuperBowl, and I woudl take him here with the Boys anytime.
I look at what the help he brings to a team. You know next season where ever he ends up at he will be make defenses wish he was still suspended.

The guy is that good. All philly had to do was live up to the arrangements they made with him about talking contract renewal, even if they did not give him the amount he was asking for, if they had got close they could have had a happy player.

They are idiots, that is why they will wait another 20 or so years to get back to the SuperBowl, which is fine with me.

All they had to do was give in to T.O.'s demands? No team should do that especially considering the circumstances that he only played 1 year of a contract that he signed.

And what makes you think that Philly wasn't discussing a contract re-writing? No one knows the what, when, why and how over any contract re-works.

T.O. is a great receiver. I don't doubt that. One of the top talents in the league. But he is not the one element that puts teams in the Superbowl. He has to be in the right situation to help a team. He went to a Philly team that was already knocking on the door. They had to end up doing it without him. He will help a team improve, but he isn't going to lift middle of the pack teams all the way to the Superbowl.

It is yet to be seen if Dallas will need him to take the next step. We don't even know how far of a step it will be until this season ends. My opinion is that Dallas has some other more pressing needs in order to get to the Superbowl and those will be addressed in the off season. T.O. isn't, won't be and should not be a top priority for the Cowboys. Do you look into signing him? Sure. You at least inquire and sit down with him, but signing him isn't something the Cowboys have to do.

How does the old saying go?

Million dollar talent and a 10 cent head...

 

[visionary]

Repeat after me:

N.O. to T.O.

 

[BHendri5]

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you. I know, don't faint. Any time a player can't realize how blessed they are and they blow it, I'll call that disgraceful.

Yes, he's talented, but he's also such a distraction that it is disgraceful. The Hall of Fame doesn't concern me. His career is not over yet. It might be teetering on the edge, but it's not over.

Hos,

I did not expect you to agree with me on T.O.

I don't see how Owens blew anything. Yes, I'll agree he talks too much, but I've learned from Dennis Rodman, that you must look at everything objectively. I know you know how the media can be a big influence on fans.
They have painted Owens as this monster, yes, He has helped, made it easy for them.
But he do have a legit argument, and reason, it just seems that he has chosen the wrong way to go about solving his problem, but he does not deserve all the blame, the eagles are to blame also, as well as the NFL, for letting them cheat the guy like they did.

My head hurts too...........boy was I fired up after he said that. It was exactly how I feel about the whole situation.

After that Salisbury is my new hero....hehe

What was my name again...:drunk:

 

[BHendri5]

Owens is the best WR in the league, or out of the league right now.
Philly should have paid the guy. He helped them get to the SB. He did. Before him all they were doing was getting close. Now that they have been they will not get back.

He had them set up to win, 9 catches for 122yards or something like that.

Yeah, he is the real deal, and he can be the one element to put a team over.
Don't hate on the guy, because he goes against the grain.

Open your eyes and look at this thing objectively and not from the way the media wants you to see it.

Uhm, exactly HOW was Owens "cheated?" I mean, he picked the guy who negotiated the contract. To my knowledge, no one was holding a gun to his head when he signed. I don't get it.

 

[LooktotheFuture]

Letting them cheat the guy. He's making 50 million dollars for playing a game. I do not see how he got cheated. He signed the deal. He made a leagally binding contract. He was not under duress nor was he fooled into something. The guy is SELFISH and is a waste of talent. BHendri5, I'm sorry I just don't understand why you are defending this guy.

 

[Aikmaniac]

Hendri is on a heckuva fishing trip.

Stir the pot elsewhere, pal.

I am looking at it objectively. I look at it from the standpoint that he has been suspended by his team. The media didn't suspend him, the Eagles did.

You say all the Eagles had to do was pay him. Well, all he had to do to stay on the team was apologize to the team and to McNabb. Doesn't seem too much to ask, yet he couldn't and wouldn't do it.

I also look at the fact that no one on the team is rushing forward to defend him. I don't see any Eagle team mates making statements that T.O. is just misunderstood.

I can separate his talent he brings to a team, to the disruption he brings to the team. I think Dallas will have more needs to get to the Superbowl than the talent he brings to the table. I know they won't need his disruptive behavior. I also wouldn't want to see he and Key on the same team. I think that would be a bad mix.

By that logic every player deserves a new contract commensurate with the success of the team. It doesn't work that way, though. If Owens wanted more money tied to Super Bowl trips, he shoulda had it expressed in the contract he signed to play under for seven years. If he wanted more money up front or the right to opt out after a year, it shauld have been included. It wasn't and that's no one's fault but his. If he got cheated, he cheated himself, and that's the bottom line.

Objectively speaking, Owens isn't the best WR in the NFL. Objectively speaking, I'd have to say he's in the top 5 or so. I think Steve Smith, Chad Johnson, Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison and maybe Hines Ward are all right there. I think his salary is compensatory with his performance. Objectively speaking, of course.

Hey TE77, this is somewhat reminisant of a discussion you and I had a few months back. Looks like the worst has come to fruition.

I'm listening to WIP610 - they're set to transfer over to the conference at any minute.
