Eagles Organization = Classless

[IggyWH]

Alright, let me first start out by saying I personally don't like TO. He acted like an ass during this whole process. What I didn't like however, was how the Eagles handled things, especially from such a "class" organization that I keep hearing from.

1)Nothing for TO's 100th TD. You bet your damn ass if it was a Dono record they would have celebrated it. It would have went a LONG way to patching up their relationship with TO, but them not being the "bigger man" it just gave TO more stuff to bitch about.

2)Blaming TO for the fight with Hugh Douglas and then using it against him. Do any of you know the TRUE story behind what happened here? Hugh Douglas is not an Eagle, he is just some hired shill who is an "ambassador" to the team, whatever the hell that is, and does some pregame radio show. Hugh Douglas went into the trainers room while TO was in there hurt (notice TO never missed a game) and proclamed that people in there were faking injuries.

If you were TO, who no one should ever question him faking being hurt especially a shill for the Eagles, wouldn't this set you off also?

3)Now, we have the latest developement from this "class" organization :

Quick summary, Jerry Jones said on a radio show

[ QUOTE ]
"In general, I am a risk-taker. We've gone down that road," Jones said when asked if the Cowboys might be interested in Owens. "I probably have a propensity to try and make things work. ... A top receiver could flourish with Drew Bledsoe. That's always appealing."

[/ QUOTE ]

The Eagles, being a "class" organization, filed a complaint with the league because NFL bylaws prohibit "any interference by a member club with the employer-employee relationship of another club or any attempt by a club to impermissibly induce a person to seek employment with that club or with the NFL."

Give me a break Eagles... grow the [censored] up already. You're turning into worse than TO at this point.

This is standard. Against a division rival its mandatory.

I don't think the Eagles are blameless. The problem is next to TO, they're saints.

[holeplug]

Your being sarcastic here....right?

I agree. and as an eagle fan of 20 years i am sorely disappointed in them. and hijacking... andy reid is absolutely terrible at drafting players. they really need to seperate coach/GM. it just doesnt work.

First in terms of the original post the eagles did not recognize T.O.'s 100TD because the origanization does not recognize individual acheivements.
Second Andy Reid is so terrible at drafting that he drafted
Donovan Mcnabb, Corey Simon,Lito Sheppard, Sheldon Brown(2), Michael Lewis(2), Brian Westbrook (3), L.J. Smith, Shawn Andrews has been good when he was healthy the Eagles have been one of the best organizations of the past 5 years and a lot of that is good drafting.

[TheNoodleMan]

If the eagles don't recognize individual achievements, then how do you explain the retired numbers?
Not recognizing individual achievements is a really bad policy.
