TO's Press Conference

[Punker]

My favorite part of the conference was the reporter asking the agent "What have you done for TO other than get him kicked off his team?". Agent: no response.

What's with Bud Selig's hands?

TO and Rosenhaus deserve each other. TO sounded like a fifth-grader being called on in class by his teacher to read a passage he had never seen before. I detected absolutely no remorse in TO's reading of the statement. It was also very telling that Rosenhaus did not allow TO to field questions by the press. I'd sure hate to be the one advocating for TO in his hearing.

Rosenhaus is awesome. Such a stereotypical agent press conference. Is it just me or does he have like the most obvious hair transplant in history?

The more interesting question is how can the Eagles allow Hugh Douglas to retain his "Badassador" title after getting his butt kicked by T.O. That's just shameful for a former D-lineman to get owned by a wide receiver.

there were no punches thrown in this incident.

T.O-- what an @sshole. Rosenhaus-- what a scumbag.

Note the wording in some of his comments today... paraphrased.

I apologize to the Philly fans that "this happened", as opposed to "I'm sorry for what I did."

I apologized to Donovan McNabb for anything I "may have said" that "may have been perceived as negative," as opposed to "for what I said."

The criminal is not sorry for what he did, but that he was caught. If he insists on qualifying his actions and statements, that is not a true apology. I'm sure Al Davis is watching with keen interest.

A commentator on ESPN this morning said that the general word around the NFL is that T.O. will play for someone next year, but strictly on a one-year basis until he proves himself. No team is going to be willing to put out any big bucks or long term contracts after 2 teams have dumped him for having an ego bigger than his talent.

The best part about that was after he said "no response", TO winked at the guy asking the question and gave a slight nod.

It's not just ESPN. Adam Kaplan (NFL Network) said he couldn't get a single GM from any team, off of the record, to say they would even sign T.O. to a one year deal.

Also remember last time he was available the only teams that wanted him were the Ravens and Eagles. And I don't think either one of them wants him now. Owens is going to whine if he doesn't get a huge contract and I can't imagine any team wanting to drop themselves into cap hell for a guy who might destroy your whole team.

My guess is he doesn't sign until right before training camp when someone gives him a huge incentive layden deal.
