Good for them. TO is a selfish narcissist who knows nothing about what it means to be part of a team. I wish more baseball frontmen had stones like the Eagles' brass.

Biggest talent, biggest headcase. Eagles are better off without him right now.

I agree. The Vikings are a lot better off without Randy Moss.

Oh, wait. We are talking about TO. Never mind.

Does anyone else think this pretty much puts the Eagles out of the playoff race?

Re: Terrel Owens Suspended indef
 

Is it worth it taking on a guy like T.O. (or Moss, or Keyshawn, or any of these mouthy prima donna receivers) if you're going to end up suspending him anyway when he mouths off? If you spend millions on a Pro-Bowler who alienates his former teams by being a dick, aren't you accepting his baggage too? Why even pick up a head case if you won't use him when his attitude eventually boils over?

No.

Re: Terrel Owens Suspended indef
 

The thing is he is injured and may have missed a game or two. So all they are doing is not paying him. The article says he can only be suspended by the team for 4 games. Interesting to see how this works out.

TO's injury comments were mostly BS. He practiced at full speed this week.

It doesn't put them "out" of it, but I think they were a dog to make the playoffs even before this happened. This just makes them a longer shot.

Re: Terrel Owens Suspended indef
 

Yeah, when a team that passes ~75% of the time loses their pro-bowl reciever it really puts them in a rough spot.

Normally no, but in the Eagles case yes for two reasons. They badly needed a #1 WR (i'm sure everyone remembers the Eagles/Panthers NFC Championship game) to get them over the hump and into the Super Bowl. He did that for them last year. Now he was injured for the NFC playoffs but they would not have gone 13-1 without him last year. On the field he accomplished what they brought him in for.

The 2nd reason is b/c they did not sign him to a huge cap killing deal so after this season is over they can release him and just move on.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you really seem to like everybody that sucks.

Consider eschewing evil once in a while.

Re: Terrel Owens Suspended indef
 

Is this going to turn into a Keyshawn Johnson situation? I can't imagine any team sitting one of the top players at his position in the game because he complains a lot. Especially Philly who has nobody at WR besides him.

Without Akers and McNabb at full strength, plus the NFC East, I didn't have them making the playoffs anyway.

Was TO right?
 

He should not have publicly stated a couple things, but it is interesting to consider if what he said has some merit.

Would the Eagles be better with a healthy Favre over an injured McNabb?

Should the Eagles have publicly recognized TO's 100th career TD?

As for healthy Favre vs. injured McNabb, I don't think it is too much of a stretch to state this. But by saying it publicly, TO just damages an already bad relationship with his QB.

As for the organization ignoring his individual accomplishment - I think the Eagles could have done wonders for their relationship with TO by showing him a little appreciation here. And it may have gone a ways toward shutting him up for the rest of the year and he may not have opened his big mouth about McNabb.

The Eagles management is a little too hardline with their players, not just TO. It has worked in recent years but they are starting to reap what they sow. Corey Simon has been sorely missed and has helped put the Colts D over the top. NFL games are won and lost by the best players on the field, not the average players. The Eagles are flirting with disaster if they think they can just run good players out of town if they make a few waves. Westbrook may be the next to go.

Re: Terrel Owens Suspended indef
 

does this mean the Redskins will have a much easier game at home tomorrow night?

I'll be specific: After the Giants owner passed away the Giants played with more intensity than they have all season. This will either be a huge let down for their organization or a time to rally without TO.

Re: Was TO right?
 

Exactly where is Terrell Owens going to go after Philadelphia?

No one wants to deal with him. What team needs that much help at wideout and is willing to shell out those kind of dollars, and has the kind of offense TO wants to work with?

Name 5 teams that want Terrell Owens right now.

Re: Was TO right?
 

It should also be noted that the eagles have not resigned Brian Westbrook, because I think they plan to test the free agent market. Free agents, 2 are Shaun Alexander and Edge James.

The Eagles were in bad shape before this. Now we will watch Mcnabb get a 4th injury.

I'm sick of hearing about this low-life F***ing bum. ESPN is dispicable for plastering this all over TV.

Don't give this bum any more publicity.

I hate TO and I hate ESPN. What does this nonsense teach kids about how to act?

F*** TO, I hope he gets crippled and can never play football anymore.

F*** you TO

I tbink you misinterpreted something.

Owens is inactive for this week's game "due to injury". That allows Philadelphia to start the suspension next week (or later). The Eagles want that because the CBA allows NFL teams to suspend players without pay for a maximum of four weeks.

uh, ok. I really wasn't the one who interpreted it, though. I listened as one of the commentators told me this, so I really have no idea.

I can't speak for teams in the league, but I would definitely want TO on my team. Even if I owned a team like the Colts or the Patriots, I would definitely want Owens. There is no player better at the position than Owens, and if you team him up with a qb like Manning, Brady, or even Favre, TO would provide a big boost to their stats, just like he did with McNabb a year ago, and just like Moss has down with Culpepper in recent years.

His public comments with the Eagles were not a big deal at all, except with the media, who loves to talk about this stuff, and the fans, if they like to talk about this stuff. So he thinks that Brett Favre, one of the greatest qbs ever, would lead his team to more wins than an injured McNabb, and he was upset about the team not doing more to celebrate his 100th td. I don't see the big deal about all of this. If this was another NFL player, I wonder how much media attention it would receive. Because it's TO, it's blown way out of proportion.

Yeah, speaking your mind and doing TD celebrations is way worse than wishing a crippling injury to someone. God forbid.

It's all up to God. I'm not God. God can giveth and taketh away. And I'm sure it wouldn't hurt too many people to see "TO" in a wheelchair.

This bum has a great talent and yet he's the most immoral player in the league. Even if Ray Lewis HAD murdered that guy, he'd still be public enemy number 1.

F*** you TO, you F***in bum.

They may not think his mouth is that big of a deal, but they definitely would think his abilities at the WR position are.

Re: Was TO right?
 

Yes, and furthermore:

Do you really think Terrell Owens wants to play in Green Bay? Green Bay?

TO would never play for Green Bay, and Green Bay would never sign a malcontent like TO. Some organizations are far-sighted enough to avoid this kind of circus.
